Suggestions on brands for a tune up...

Post by Dabeastwthn »

Hey guys and gals...I've gotta give the Teg a tune up since I have no idea if or when it had it's last one! :dunno:
What brand wires, plugs, caps, ect...do you all recommend? I had NGK's on past Hondas but I figured I'd throw the question out there to make sure this time. :biggrin:

have i taught you nothing? all the hondas i have worked on for you and still you learning nothing ...lolol


chris here is the rule of thumb on a honda

-wires OEM or ngk NOTHING ELSE - everything elses is junk and makes LESS HP then the OEM ones and this has been dyno proven
-plugs NGK and NOTHING else - they are in there from the factory for a reason
-cap and rotor this is up to you OEM is best but autozone/advanced is just the same for the most part

How come I knew you'd be the first one to see this and remind me? :biglaugh:
Now..do I want to stay away from the Iridiums this time? By the way...what brand plugs does Honda use from the factory anyway?

NGK for everything.


I had good luck with the MSD cap and coil as in it didnt make my car run like crap. It also didnt make it run any better. It did however make the cap transparent and you could see the spark(Novelty wears off quick)
