I Need Wires

[Accord7SE_i]

What type of hp plug wires do i get if im going to be running a msd 6a ignition control and a msd balster 2 coil?

Probably none...

wires don't give you extra power.
Just go with NGK wires and you should be fine.

If you get the 6a box you should get spiral core wires as the instructions and the MSD company suggest. A cheap set are crane cam universal fire wires nice quality I got mine from www.martelbros.com

will the NGK: premium wire set work good to?

I am not sure if it is spiral wrapped core or not.
here is martelbros part number for fire wire it is good stuiff I had it before i had my magnecor wires and I only got those because they were cheap on ebay. I think NGK are carbon solid core no matter what kind you get and the MSD company does not recomend that kind of wire for their ignition boxes in fact no company does Accel or Crane ect.

Quote from MSD WEB site
If you suspect a spark plug wire to be open causing poor performance, check the resistance of each wire. By checking the resistance of each wire you will determine two things: That there is continuity (not open) and if there is too much resistance in the wire. Use an Ohm Meter and connect the terminals to the spark plug wire terminals. Use care to make sure there is good contact or the readings will be inaccurate. On MSD wires the resistance should be:


Heli-Core Wires (Blue):
150 - 1,200 ohms per foot
8.5mm Super Conductor (Red):
40 - 50 ohms per foot

If you do not know the specification for your wires, measure the resistance of each wire. Remember to divide the length of the wire by 12 to get a "per foot" measurement. If one wire is out of that average spec, it is at fault

Solid Core Wires: You cannot run Solid Core Spark Plug Wires with an MSD Ignition Control. Solid Core wires do not suppress any Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) which will interfere with electronics or rev limiters on your vehicle. A suppression style or spiral wound spark plug wire MUST be used.

I like my magnecor wires because there supression is a shitload better than even the MSD ones. Also when I ran solid core accel wires I noticed that my tach went a little crazy but after switching to crane cam it went away. Just an observation
