Question Best Spark Plugs and Wires for GS-R?

I am planning to buy some new spark plugs and wires to replace my old stock ones for my '94 GS-R. Probably aftermarket ones! Are there any that provide the most horsepower in the market? Or do they just perform the same? I am just looking for power right now for spark plugs and the wires. Any good brands to look at? Thanks!

I put the NGK standard platinums and NGK wires in my 2k GS-R yesterday. Prior to putting them in, i was noticing some hesitance in the high-band (especially above 7500rpm!) that was causing noticeable decrease in power. The high-band ignition is absolutely rock-solid now!

Another thing I did was to decrease the gap size down to .047" (.050" on the original denzo plugs, .053" pre-gapped for the NGK's from the factory). My rationale for this was that having too-big a gap will cause spark delay (especially with the stock distributor and ignition module). In low-band, spark delay isn't a noticeable problem, but when you're keeping it between 6k and 8k, every properly-timed spark is critical. Since I was having problems with hesitance, I expected the slightly-shorter, slightly-stronger spark to smooth out the high-band. It definitely worked.

I've also got to commend NGK for making an excellent wire set. They are manufactured SO much better than the stock wires, and have a little more slack to work with. The blue also looks good without being tacky, like the magnecores are.

What about Denso Iridium Spark Plugs? I have heard of those kinda on lots of cars. How about Nology wires? Do they give good power or just simply looks?

i say go with either NGK or Magnecore wires. i've heard bad things about Nology.

Is it really worth it to get aftermarket plugs and wires without gettin a new ignition? What would you say to a MSD ignition with magnecore wires and NGK irridium plugs?

Yes! Definitely on the B18C's and B16a's. The stock plugs (denso) aren't that great, and the stock wires (honda) absolutely suck. These stock parts can have a bit of a spark delay in the high-rpms, which seriously dampens high-RPM power. Adding good aftermarket plugs and wires will give you a much more reliably-sparking ignition and more responsive throttle.

I thought the brand of the stock plugs and wires which come with the Integra came from NGK and not denso?

Ok, just bringing up back this post but what i'm planning to get are Magnecore Wires and Denso Iridium Spark Plugs? Will I have any acceleration problems with those two?
