Go buy you some NGK copper plugs for about $8 for a set of 4. The part # is BKR6E-11. You have to change them every 10-15K miles, but they only take 5 minutes to change and they conduct current better than all that platinum and iridium gimmicky stuff.

no that is the NGK part #. Just go to NAPA and tell them you need 4 spark plugs of that part number. Should be about $8 + tax.

Some one correct me if im wrong, but basic knowledge is Copper conducts better than platinum. I'm F/I and my car runs better with the copper plugs i go 2 deg Colder. Besides Copper plugs are cheaper too. Platinum just last a little longer

Platinum plugs normally last around 60K miles I think, at least I think that's the regular interval to change them according to the Integra GS-R maintenance schedule. If you use copper plugs, in 60K miles you would change your plugs maybe 4 or 5 times and they would still be cheaper in the long run that platinum plugs.
Seriously, the only reason IMHO for using platinum plugs is because they last a long time. On cars like FWD V6 applications where the whole intake manifold has to come off to reach the rear 3 plugs, I would suggest using a platinum plug so you don't have to do all that work very often.
But on an Integra it literally takes FIVE MINUTES to change the plugs. It's really no big deal to do that every 10K-15K miles. Just use the copper plugs, change them often, and take comfort in knowing you saved money and also get every last bit of power out of your ignition.

The point is, copper plugs are WAY WAY cheaper than platinum plugs. I'm not ABOUT to pay $11 or more EACH for the NGK Platinum plugs.

Those old plugs must have been shot to hell, most people I know who have tried that +4 stuff say Honda's don't take that well to them.

does it's job. I'd like to run a hotter plug. Not sure what the best one is though
