8th Gen Civics don't use plug wires, both the R18 and the K engine use coils.

LMAO, I wish people would look under their hoods before asking about stuff like this. You shoulda just told him "Yeah, changing wires will get you at LEAST 10HP"

I've looked into this kinda stuff on my Intrepid. There's MSD ignition systems which up the voltage. I would have to use an MSD system made for a Mustang, not sure what a 4 cylinder would use?

dee du dee I want to change my electronic pulse multi port injection to a 4 barrel carb, and put a msd distributor and wires like they had in the 90's instead of the oval black things that shoot spark to the iridium ngk plugs ..Save your money and dont be an idiot you have no idea what you have like they said above go wash the car ,leave the mod,s to the pros,You want an upgrade say n/a to the hondata reflash and wait for apex to make a air fuel controller for the fg's if it,s not out already and stop trying to fu.k your car up
