spark plugs

[deevergote]

Wow.. really?

You couldn't feel any difference from switching to MSD?

Weird.

I just have never, ever seen a "coil" as small as out factory one, and I've had 3 Honda's.

I'm not basing it soley on size too. You have to admit they look friggin small.

I'd love to see some stats comparing factory coil output to MSD.

I've had a Civic then Prelude now my Accord.

I'm all about the proof and results.

The stock ignition system on our cars is just fine. You won't feel an upgrade. The best you'll get is a smoother idle.

I have an MSD SCI that I'll be putting on, but only because I got it cheap from a friend that needed the cash.

how much do the spark plugs have to gap

IIRC, its generally .044, most new plugs will come pregapped.
I used the NGK copper v-power for over 50,000 miles then switched to the NGK IX iridium just for the longer interval between changes.

[heylookitsdylan]

never trust a "pregapped" plug, lord knows whos dropped it, thrown it or even stepped on it.

NGK V power plugs are good plugs, hands down. and only $1.99 at your local Oreillys autoparts. hahahah.

lol

ive never changed the plugs. 60k and still going strong *knocks on wood*

[WISDOBX84]

Are the Ngks G-powers are good for the CB? I work at autozone and I wanted to put in the IX iridiums thinking I should put the best while I get the discounts, but a fellow co-worker said that they are to hot for Hondas. Whats the effects when running a plug too hot, any damages or performance difference?

[Otto]

I changed to the NGK Iridium IX plugs a year ago for the longer change intervals. Test equipment might be able to tell the difference, but I can't.

Simple semi-educated answer: a plug with too high a heat range won't reach self-cleaning temperature. It'll become fouled and whatnot.
If the heat range is too cold, then the electrode and ground strap can start to melt.

Plugs are sold at certain heat ranges. Just get the proper range for your engine and it'll be fine.


Jam, not changing the plugs won't kill your car... it'll just make it run like shit, and give you lousy gas mileage. Suck it up and spend the $10 to replace the plugs. Seriously. Don't knock on wood... just change your damn plugs. Do the cap and rotor as well. That's another whopping $7 you'll have to spend.
