NGK Plug wires or OEM plug wires
 
I'm going to get a set and both the sets (NGK and OE) are the same price. my question is whether the NGK are better then the OE plug wires? Is it an upgrade or just an oem replacement?

chris_si98 02-Jun-2006 02:00 PM

i would get oem

civicnation 02-Jun-2006 02:03 PM

so the ngk is more of an oe replacement instead of an upgrade?

I thought OEM plug wires are made by NGK

civicnation 02-Jun-2006 03:39 PM

i thought the same thing, i just want some clarification as to whether they are OE replacements or an upgrade over stock.

according to NGK's website, the plugs are made to higher then OE manufacturer specs.

Could be. I can't harms from using it.

civicnation 02-Jun-2006 04:23 PM

my beef with them is that they are blue and don't match my valve cover and intake, but if they are better i will buy em

Nova_Dust 02-Jun-2006 04:38 PM

Don't they also have black ones?

civicnation 02-Jun-2006 04:43 PM

all the ones i have seen for the b16a2 (RC-HE64) are blue. I'd love to get red or black.

chris_si98 02-Jun-2006 05:01 PM

UAP sells NGK wires.. they are blue.

I don't know if Honda uses NGK wires (they probably do).

My 2 cents.. if they are the same price.. i would get oem

i just purchased a set of OEM Honda wires and they are manufactured by NGK.

Bryce 02-Jun-2006 07:32 PM

NGK is OEM :)

markpa 03-Jun-2006 08:40 AM

The blue ones are an upgrade, but no need really for them unless there the same price as the oems, (buy them from the states after shipping customs it comes out the same as if you bought oem from honda)

OEM = NGK

i would get OEM just cause they black.. lol

civicnation 03-Jun-2006 02:13 PM

thanks eric, and i'll check msd and nology. they are supposed to be good brands?

Nova_Dust 03-Jun-2006 07:55 PM

MSD is nice. I am not sure about Nology.

civicnation 04-Jun-2006 07:23 PM

msd and nology are both pretty pricy.
i'll just go with oem wires
