Default 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.

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)

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.

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
