I bought some NGK Plugs because I think my car is missing..

I told the guy at Schucks auto that I had a 93 Prelude Si 2.3L And he gave me these plugs:

NGK ZFR6F-11 Stock No 4291

Did they sell me the right ones...

That's right. Those are the V-power plugs.

I guess it safe to say that these aint the "1 step colder" plugs are they? *shrug*

I hate my life.

I just bought my plugs too. Same ones. The dude wrote .035 on the box. Shouldn't it be around .039 to .043? My car is stock. What gap should I be using?

Leave it alone, it's pre-gapped. Just put the new ones in.

Go to your honda dealer, or if you want I can get them from work(honda dealer), and tell them you want P/N 98079-5714G. They are the NGK ZFR7F11's, and are one step colder than stock.

From the factory:
Prelude VTEC's take 98079-5614N / PZFR6F11
Prelude SI's take 98079-5614G / ZFR6F11
Prelude S take 98079-5514G / ZFR5F11

Just curious, how much did you H22 guys pay for your plugs? NOPI wanted $10/each for the NGK's!

Jape · 06-24-2002, 08:51 PM

I paid $7.40 for all 4...

Platinums are around that price. I just run the SI's plugs in my H22. I get them for $2 each. Some people says it the engine stumbles in VTEC, but I don't seem to have a problem with them.

what would be the point of running a colder plug if your car is stock?
