I'm swapping the spark plugs in my B16A in hopes of better gas mileage...what are some good plugs for all motor applications? I bought some Bosche Platnimum +4's but I heard they werent that good (I havent put them in yet)...

Just use NGKs, particularly if you want any sort of FI.

Where can you pick up some NGK's around Thornton or westy? How much do they cost?

DONT use Bosch platinum 4's. A honda tech told me they are for VW and other german cars, etc. I had them in my GSR....made it run like shit. I know NAPA carries NGK. The only one i know of is off of 120th and main in Broomfield. Honda uses NGK plugs from the factory so it shouldnt be a problem putting them in.

Go to advance auto parts down the street from you in front of Super K. 1.12 a pop, so you can stock up for later.

NGK is Honda Stock, any NGK is good for Hondas. If you want a good one that's good just go to checkers and get some NGK platinums. It's nothing fancy, but it works just as good. If you turbo or nitrous, go with a colder plug. NGK Iridium.

No you don't do iridiums with Forced Induction of any kind. Plain copper works best for FI.

just the regular ones will work fine. The platinums are too expensive for maybe a 1whp gain. Plus they burn up alot quicker.

Copper is a better conductor than platnium, platnium is for longevity.

Just put the NGK V-power coppers in there

I went to advance auto parts and picked up some NGK V-Power plugs...cant beat $6 for all four plugs...shit it cost $6 for 1 platinum +4. I'll see soon what the oil change and plug change will do for the gas mileage.

Checker probably wont have them. Summitracing.com should. Get the ones for like a 1.8 acura integra VTEC (b18c1).

Got the plugs in...the car fires up alot quicker but I cant see any gains in performance with this damn snow...time for wires and an ECU...
