what spark plugs are you guys using, im about to hit 84k, and i want new ones, also can someone help me out with the temp ratings on spark plugs, also i have 97 ex coupe, stock cept for intake

 

Just get the regular NGK plugs. You dont have enough mods to warrant a different type of plug. Sparkplugs.com has some pretty good prices, or just goto a nearby auto store.

 

I've been using the Bosch (sp)? plugs with the 4 little prongs on 'em...work pretty good I think.

they sucked big time, they are not even gapped to oem spec.
if you know anything about electricity, they only travel in the shortest path, and that's ONE not four.

ionization ownz joo

 

regular ngk coppers and i change them every 10k

 

every 10k? what do they look like when they come out? Seems a bit excessive to me, but its your money.

 

regular NGK's are great plugs, and theyre pretty cheap too, compared to some of the other crap thats out there. NGK wires all the way as well. Nology = Waste of money

 

NGK is the way to go. I had to do Autolite this last time around, since i have to drive outta the sticks to get real plugs.

 

any of you guys running an aftermarket ignition amplifier (msd,crane, etc) ? if so what plugs?

He said copper so they run like 1dollar and change each x4=5bucks. Not a whole lot if you ask me. Bosch are ok but are mainly for german cars as they came oem with them. Hondas use ngk and denso as oem spec plugs.

ive never gotten plugs that were gapped to OEM spec, NGK included, not all 4 plugs anyway. its good to gap em yourself all the time anyway no matter what.

I agree, I never trust the plugs out of the box, I just put new ngk premiums in and gapped them to be on the safe side. Although I have heard otherwise.
When I pulled my bosch +4s out when I was putting my ngks in, the prong was almost white becuase it was firing so hot, I dont know whether that was caused by the gap being incorrect or another factor but I will never go to bosch again for my spark plug needs

 

Can't go wrong with OEM's

I actually just installed some NGK iridium plugs today. The idle was noticeably smoother, but I didnt notice any other differences. Can't say I can justify paying $30 for these plugs instead of $4 for the regular NGK's though.

 

imma try ngks
