ECU Tuning & Fuel Management - CRAZY plug wire question

I dont know if anyone has ever thought about this or i may just be crazy for it. But could you use the Spark plug wires from a 93 2.2 vtecprelude on a 95 1.6 vtec civic. if you did what would it do?

What makes spark plug wires different from year to year


Just a question to rack your minds

Well, you're talking totally different cars. Are you talking about the engine harness to the ECU? Then wire colors could be similiar since thye are both in the Honda family, but they will differ.

sorry about that i ment to put in there the spark plug wires<--edited

I'm not too sure in this application, but most plug wires have different resistances and lengths (kind of go hand in hand to a degree) and might not work in your application. stick with the OEM wires though, the aftermarket ones don't make that much difference in even a mild civic. (I/H/E and other stuff)

^Ditto, at least get ones for your car.

guy is offering me nology wires for 40 bucks used 2 months.
i may get them see just to see how they do
Thanks for you inputs. if i get them ill let you guys know how they turn out good or bad

Ok so i got the wires and put them on. They work the only differencesare that they .4 ohm and my other ones are 7., then the rubber boot on top is just wider.

wires is one of those things that cars like from factory,(OEM)

autozone wires suck ngk are good and they are 58 dollars so i went ahead and got those wires. no biggie really

another update about those plugs,

alright i gotta take it out today for a litte drive and wow what can i say. I can actually tell there is a difference.The exhaust is deeper for one, feels like it drive with ease now.

* i dont know if my wires were just bad or if these are that good, wires before tested good

how did you test the old wires? they could of had some EMI between the wires (crossfire), or possibly they were just too loaded from the engine heat. most likely your old wires were just bad, or the wrong resistance.

tested them with an ohmeter they read .7 ohm nology were .4 ohm. wires were oem style andwere separted touching nothing



* is your spoilder mounted on the very edge of your truck? how much was it . i think it look good on your car

outside edges of the trunk. I bought the car with it on,the sticker on the side says ATECH alloy technologies. I wouldn't recommend getting one,it's extremely heavy with moderate affects on handling. Mostly for looks as was everything else theold owner put on the car.
