I am pretty sure I need a tune up. Can someone that has recently got this done tell me around how much it is for new wires and plugs!!! Thanks!!!

 

You can probably get plugs and wires for $65 or so. I went with Taylor OTVC (over the valve cover) 8mm wires for $100 from thunderracing.com. Plugs are $2 each, unless you get some really expensive plug (like I did).

 

Just go with the NGK TR55 plugs (TR6 if you're running N2O)...they should be less that $2 a pop...

As far as wiring goes, a stock replacement will be fine...no need to go with the thicker gauged wiring...

 

There's a lot more to a tune-up than just plugs/wires.

 

No way...

 

What I got from the thread is that he is just doing plugs/wires and that's it!
buy my rev kit

 

Yea buy the rev kit off of Mr. Ibanez. Forget about your plugs and wires and all that other tune-up crap...jump straight for the "100 horsepower increase" on your top end

 

what is the best way to get to the plugs/wires? Is it to take the y-pipe off? I have to give my 97 a tune up too and I am just looking for some tips/tricks. Thanks.

 

my secret to doing the plugs and wires easily is to find someone that is more patient than me and put money in his hand. I did however stick a set of taylors spiro pro's and ac delco platinums in his other hand of course.

 

plug and wire are a big pain in the butt. remove the exhaust, the starter, belt, alt, loosen the power steering pump,and battery for the extra room.

 

All i removed was the alternator. Thatz really all you "need" to remove. Of course my arms and hands got a tiny bit cut up. And it took some patients and time to find the holes for the plugs. just kinda feel around for awhile,lol.

 

I was looking for more of the price a mechanic would charge to install it! THANKS!!!

 

Just did the driver side+coil wire this weekend (plugs and wires). Didn't have to remove anything except the intake to get to the coil. The plug 2nd closest to the firewall was a serious PITA. Ijacked the car up nice and high and did all plugs from under the car. Passenger side is a different story. I'm gonna drop the Y pipe and hopefully I'll have enough clearance to get the plugs out and the wires run.

Changing the front cover gasket was less of a pain IMO.

Good luck

 

More than you want to spend.

 

Don't pay some guy to put in plugs/wires. Do it yourself with some time and patience.
