ngk is the brand of spark plugs and spark plug wires...the ngk wires are like 40bux depending where u live and the plugs around the same price but theyre highly recommended for a better spark
i read the article on those n they dont sound to promising...ive also read about the pulstar pulse plug but it sounds more promising but the price on those are 100bux for a set of 4...fuk that! theyve been tested on a 350z and it gain 10hp and 7lbs of torque...not bad actually...test came from modified mag...so i still recommend ngk setup...unless u wana try the pulse plug...
im not sure...actually never heard of that but it may not have a problem...just dont mix colder plugs with the hotter ones...do a search on that...im not really sure on that...just dont risk ur engine... i dont want u posting a thread about "why not to mix spark plugs" lol
DO NOT MIX SPARK PLUGS!!!!! Furthermore the pulse plugs are junk. NGK plugs are highly recommended and are a QUALITY NAME BRAND product. SR engines DO NOT have plug wires. They have a coil on plug ignition system. If you want to see what spark plug options are available to you check out www.sparkplugs.com. I know that seems to simple, but trust me, it is a well respected site among the auto industry.

Its an SR20det - its got coilpacks and so doesnt use wires. Thats pretty obvious from the picture
Also I never had a problem with standard cheapo bosche or ngk plugs gapped correctly
