Nology Hotwires are A+++ Compared to any OEM wire.. they conduct WAAAAAY better.

Personally from my experience I have had nothing but problems with nology wires on a Honda. I recommend Stock Honda, NGK, Magnacore, or MSD.

I used to have nology wires on my car, I made sure the grounds are installed good but had some strange bucking at higher rpms. Almost like a misfire. So I took it out the same day I installed it and put my old msd wires back in and the bucking disappeared. I gave the nology wires to my brother and he installed it on his civic and it ran fine. Don't know whats up with that.

Thats what i am having in my car, after having vtec engaged, I am having also strange bucking like misfire... between 5200 - 6000 rpm range after that it dissappears. Thats why I have asked this question... Tomorrow I am going to change my wires with new set of MSD spark plug wires than I am going to change the Blaster2 msd coil with blaster ss type... I will see... Thanks a lot.:)

Also I have to ask one more question... I don't have an igntion box msd or others only I have changed the factory coil with msd type coil. I think I have to keep the orijinal factory dwell settings if there is no ignition box.

the nology wires are minimal resistance from what I recall (used to work for a vendor, we got a nology seminar once and I still have a shitload of stickers and hats)

Maybe but right know there is no problem. I am looking forward to change my stock alternator to high amp output one like 160 170 amp and installing a good grounding kit to the chasis.
