Hello I'm about to do a tune up for my car
I was wondering which NGK spark plugs are recommended? (I hear a lot of Iridium X)
& also I haven't changed my spark plug wires which brand is recommended for spark plug wires???

 

There is a sticker on the underside of the hood with the plug you need... the standard ones will work a-ok, the Iridium's are a bit pricier like $2.50/ea instead of $1.50/ea.

The OEM Honda wires are the best ones and probably the cheapest as well.

 

Iridiums with a platinum ground last the longest. Iridium doesn't like MSD capacitive discharge ignitions, so double plat is the best in that case. Platinum and nitrous don't play nice because the platinum can fall off and hurt your engine, so if you have nitrous, iridium, copper or silver. If you have MSD and nitrous, ZEX plugs are the best followed by silver and copper.

 

well i'm pretty sure i don't have MSD capacitive discharge
i'm just a daily economical driver...for now :P
doesn't all Iridium come with platinum or are you talking about NGK Laser Platinum???
so what is your recommendation for a daily driver like me should use?

& another question...does brand matters when it comes to distributor cap & rotor???
cuz at my local auto part store all they have are Bosch & generic brand not to mention they are pricey as well

 

I have a BWD cap and Napa rotor on right now... no problems. Just don't get Bosch plugs .

You want to know my honest opinion for plugs on a regularly driven car? NGK Coppers.

 

^^^ x2 on the coppers.

 

i see....
is it really necessary to change the spark plug wires?

& how much does NGK Coppers run? cuz i'm unable to find them online or their home site
do they go under a different name?
unless ur talking about NGK G-Power???

 

V-power i believe. Copper is NGK standard plugs.

And yes changing the wires isnt necessary but it is recommended.

 

changing the spark plug wires will it make a big difference?

 

Spray water on them at night with a mister bottle and see if there is any arcing from the wire to the engine block. If yes, change them, if no it's your call. I wouldn't leave a set in a car for more than 2 years, but then again my current car and the last one don't have wires.
