spark plug wires!

[407accord]

No need to go so thick. In fact, that can ruin an engine giving off so much spark with no aftermarket and pushing higher HP. I simply have a nie .5 upgrade of bosch racing spark plug wires at 7.5. They have lasted forever and seem to be doing pretty well and only one doesn't fit right, which in that case most likely, my fault.

imho, i was able to use a 25% off checker entire purchase coupon and bought my (nascar) lol... spark plugs from checkers for about 30 bucks after tax. they come with a warranty too soo... best bet it just to buy that.

Que? Search for spark plug comparison on Honda Tech. Most people will not run Nology because they just suck. MSD is a lot better than nology other than the fitment issue. Yes it has some power gain. NGK/OEM were tested. The OEM did pretty well for being however old it was during the test. I think it was on some B series or a boosted setup. Forgot what it was.

How do spark plug wires increase power. They dont.
Only if the whole ignition setup is upgraded. even if it was upgraded OEM wires will work just as well as aftermarket. If anyone has any dyno proof before and after of installing thicker wires please let me know.

woah, Honda wires are that expensive?!

If you want looks then any generic type will work for what you need it to do *BLING*

But if you want it to Bling BLOAw get the NGK's They are blue. MSD are Black and RED. OEM is probably the cream but its not BLING just BLOAw... BTW the only wires proven on the dyno and published in a book able to surpass the OE is the NGK's. L8s

Ignition gives no power. A properly functioning ignition system with a relatively stock car will work regardless of brand. The quality of materials will only ensure that you don't LOSE power by having a weak spark (and therefore an incomplete burn).

Anyone who understands how an engine works can understand that you simply cannot MAKE power with ignition.


NGK or OEM are best, as said. MSD is good. Nology is overpriced. Any company that advertises horsepower gains should be avoided (*cough* Nology).

Honestly, the power goes from the distributor, through the wires, to the sparkplugs. The sparkplugs then send a spark into the ignition chamber, where a compressed mixture of fuel and air is waiting to burn. Why would the wires make that spark any larger or hotter? If it IS larger and hotter, is it necessary to ignite that mixture? If the normal spark is enough to ignite that mixture, what gains can be had from a larger one? The spark is simply a catalyst. Power is relative to airflow and the combustion event. The spark is quite unrelated to power production. The ONLY way the spark can affect power production is if it is too weak to produce a full and even burn, or if it comes at the wrong time.
