mga sir,

ano po ba magandang brand ng sparkplug and high tension wires s market ngaun?

personally i dont believe that aftermarket high tension wires improve anything sa car performance.

pero with the question on spark plug, i go for bosch super 4. not as expensive as the iridium and platinum pero tumatagal talaga sakin. it cost 800 petot then it last until 40k, hindi pumapalya.

Even performance plugs are a question mark. Sometimes they're better, sometimes not. Platinum and Iridium will always give you a cleaner spark, but sometimes those fancy tips don't work well with certain engines.

Just get spark plugs with the correct heat range for your engine. That's the only important thing about spark plugs. It's not as if you're gaining any HP from spark plug swaps alone.

If you don't want to be bothered with heat ranges, I suggest you get the ones mentioned in the manual. In other words, stick with the stock ones.

sorry OT: how do you determine the right heat range for a specific engine?

It should be in the manual. Your engine is designed to take a certain heat-range of plug. Some people change to a plug with a different heat range when modifying, but unless you know what the effect will be, I don't suggest experimenting.

As already stated, stick to stock. Check your manual for stock specs. Or check what is currently installed in your ride. You can't go wrong with Denso, NGK, or Bosch.
