Torque master plugs
Has someone tried Torque Master spark plugs? I have a 1990 Accord and those where offered to me. What can I expect of them, more power, better mileage, how much? Just intalling the plugs or the timing should be advanced for optimum performance?
Are they worth the extra cost or should I stick with the NGKs recommended for this car? What about platinum? Is there other plug that will raise horsepower? |

Never heard of them. I'd stick with the stock NGKs if you're not sure of their reputation.

Thanks for your anwers, the stock NGKs work fine, those Torque master (torquemaster.com) were offered but I wasn't sure, I read that there are no magical plugs to turn your 1990 Accord into a 2003 M3 LOL. What about K and N air filters? Do they worth the money? Also the same guy offered me some magical spark plug cables (magnecor I think, have you heard of them?) the ones I installed about a year ago are NGKs that matched (printing on the box) my car and they work O.K, any need to "upgrade"?
Thanks again! |

Magnecor wires are very good, but they aren't magic, and neither is any other cable. I'd get a real cold air intake if you want more power, don't bother with the K&N. The power gains are still minimal.

Well I didn't wanted to waste my money on things that wouldn't give the performance they claim or won't even give a difference from stock parts which work fine.
You've been of great help! |

I've heard that you can gain a few hp from using a drop in K&N filter, but that info is secondhand.

Switch to the Denso Iridium plugs, they've got a much lower mis-fire rate than the NGK's. Less mis-firing means less power loss to the wheels. Also, if you're just considering a drop-in air filter, look at a Green, better mesh than the K&N and all stainless steel parts instead of aluminum. If your going to buy a filter with a lifetime warrantee, you want it to last the life of your car. Check out www.greenfilterusa.com for some tech info. e-mail me if you want some good info on spark plugs. 4theson@direcpc.com
