I'm not trying to be lazy, but as I recall searching before, I don't remember finding a part number for a wire set.
Are there any aftermarket wire sets still made for our car? I'm plannin a tune up this weekend.
Thanks,
Kirk

I used NGK, I found a set at a local Pepboys. They are even Blue! Other than that, I don't know whats out there. They were also inexpensive.

NGK wires and plugs is all you need.
There are probably some other brands, but Honda put NGK on...so should you.

I use Nology, and they are the best wires made they come in a bunch of colors also. Neuspeed also makes wires for our cars.

Hey, if it's for the 1.5L engine I have a set of new unused NGK plug wires (blue) and 4 Bosche Super plugs if interested. I see you are in N. Va, not to far from me around Baltimore.

Thanks for the info guys! I don't know how I missed it last time, I must have been looking for a different brand.
Chris, thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna stay away from the blue You should come down on the 19th for the crx meet that NOVA Crx club is having. Yeah, your not in NOVA, but who cares.
Now what are the chances I will be able to pick these wires up at an Advanced Auto Parts or Pep Boys?

I'm glad i got Nology
I had Nology wires on my wagon, then bought my CRX, which had NGK wires on. Thought I'd do a bit of a test.
I put the Nology wires on the CRX, ran down the block a bit. Acceleration was WORSE, and the engine knocked a bit even.
Put back on the NGK wires, acceleration smoothed out, felt better, and the car was quicker, no knocking.
Hmmmmmm......
Why I think the Nolgoy felt bad: (1) The boot connectors do not fit well on the Si head. The Nology wires fit my better on the DX heads for our cars. The Si's have a deeper spark plug well, and the Nology spark plug boots are pretty short and fat, and just don't reach well down there to make good contact on the plug ends. (2) You really need the expensive Nology spark plugs to match them in order to max out this set-up, I presume.
I would just stick with the NGK's. I mean, really, how much more hp could you pick up off of plug wires anyway?
Stick with OEM equipment. Honda has been proven time and time again to have a superior ignition set-up capable of powering even the most demanding HP set-ups.
Plus, as mentioned, they come in cool blue, ha!
Just my two sents.

What an old thread to revive!
I'd recommend looking at kiker wires if you want a good upgrade.

I don't have the link anymore, but i remember it pretty good, a shop dyno'ed a B16A Civic back to back a few years back, with a shit ton of different wires. Stock, NGK Blue, Nology, Magnacore, a lot of the big name brands. The stock wires and the NGK's had a fairly smooth dyno graph. All of the aftermarket wires produced a jagged wavy dyno, it didn't make any more horsepower, just made it less smooth.
They did the same test with a MSD box, and a MSD distributor and some other aftermarket ignition setups vs the stock distributor. The Stock system again proved to be smoother and the aftermarkets didn't make more power.
