Default plugs

I use NGK plugs, they are OEM and very good quality

Stock, or Magnecore wires are best. I made my 295whp dyno run on stock wires..no issues. I currently run Magnecore wires.

I also use Magnacore wires - 10mm. They don't fit so well under the wire cover cause they come straight out rather than at a 90 deg. angle, but they're great wires. OEM are good too. I'd either go OEM, NGK, or Magnacore on the wires. I also run NGK plugs.

The plugs you should use are the same model as in all of the non-VTEC B-Series, F-Series (ALL), J-Series, and D-Series from 92-2000 (except for the 92-95 VTEC, which was ZFR5J-11).

NGK:
Copper - ZFR5F-11, 30K Miles (my first choice, inexpensive and relatively long life)
Platinum - PZFR5F-11, 60K
Iridium - ZFR5FIX-11, 60+ (105?) (second choice, longer life, and less $ than plat)

Denso:
Copper - KJ16CR11, 30K Miles
Platinum -
Iridium -

I can't seem to find the other two denso numbers, so if somebody has them, just post so I can update this post.

NGK, Sumitomo (OE), or Magnecore wires. No others. And unlike all of the other brands, these don't really wear out. So-tune ups don't invlolve wire replacement.

Honda specifies more than one spark plug for all of its engines. For example the spec platinum plug for B-series VTEC motors is the NGK PFR6G-13 or Nippondenso PK2OPR-L13.

I have NGK Platinums and NGK Wires, and I think they work great.

Magnacore 10mm are the best.

Are the Bosch Platinum 4+ any good? A girlfriend just gave me two complete sets brand new in the box for my D16Z6..should I go ahead and put them in?

Magnacore is the shizzle dizzle!!! I am very impressed with my new Magnacore 10mm's! Am running Denso Iridium plugs.

Got a sweet deal on the Denso's....the foriegn gal working the register at Auto Zone goofed up and charged me $2.49 per plug! Rare mistake in my favor...I'll take it!
