Well, i got about 25mpg on 14.6gallons which is far from its best so, im assuming somethings fouled up.... and i bet its directly related to having the tps off for that week. So I wouldnt go based on my trial run. oh, I was also running a set of bosch pat +4's for a year, I need to run some fuel injector cleaner maybe some other additives and try again....

Hey guys,
Went to Advance auto parts to check the price on the plugs and noticed the NGK platinums are about 3 bucks more than the NGK iridiums. So i'm assuming the platnims are better even though people have been recommending iridiums? Thanks!

I was sort of confused too. The platniums were $10 for maybe they dont carry the ix iridiums...oh well, the autozone right next to it is almost ready to open! lol Maybe they'll have them Thanks Marbo

Having better plugs and wires wont hurt the pistons will it? As is running lean or getting to hot. What do you guys think about Denso Iridiums, or are the NGK iridium ix's still better?

i have heard a couple bad things about the denso plugs, but nothing bad about the ngk's so im not exactly sure, i dont have enough data on the both of them. i always recommend ngk though, just because thats the brand honda wants in their cars. better wires and plugs will not hurt your engine at all

I've been running Denso Iridiums with NGK Blues for about a year now and I have no regrets at all. Can't go wrong with either.

Thanks! Sorry I keep asking more questions....My dad is always worried b/c its our first import and hes used to working on the Mopar V8's from the muscle car era! I know I asked this already, but with my AEM shorty, Apexi WS2, OBX racing headers, plugs n wires, should I see an increase in MPG? Or will it be unnoticeable?

DO NOT use any plug wires other than Honda factory wires,, it is the best money can buy for the hondas,,

It is that i would not reccomend them but i reccomend Honda factory wires over any others

they did a dyno test on a lot of plug wires, and Honda factory wires outperformed even the more expensive wires,, i found it on the net ,browsing around and for the life of me i have been trying to relocate it so i can post it here so people can read it , and i cannot remeber where i found it ,,it was an automotive article , darn it i cannot find it anywhere anymore ..

so, the ngk iridiums i got were also a couple dollars cheaper than the laser platinums at advance. we compared them, and i just went with the iridium ix's which are awesome! had a guy do it from the store!

next project is to get honda wires, and then do the distributor cap and rotor!
