I bought a set of NGK wires........how does everyone else have them setup on their car? Is there something else I have to buy to put these on?

a tech at work told me i need a distributer?

confused?
 
If you don't already have a distributor in your car then you're doing a lot of walking because the car can't operate without one.

I'm not familiar yet with Pro-5 electronics, but generally when I buy new wires I also replace the distributor cap and rotor (if there is one), as well as the coil to distributor lead (again, if there is one). Many new cars have some of these things integrated.
 
there is no cap and rotor on this car......there are little boxes ontop of where the plugs plug in I dont know..........not firmiliar with this setup either...lol
 
I have sparkco wires.. and I just pulled off the stock ones and threw the sparkco on when I was putting new plugs in.

No distributor, no spark plug wires. change the plugs every 30k and be happy
Unless you want some looks :-)

Yeah, I just took a look at the technical shop manual. Each cyl has its own coil, and it looks to be a solidstate ignition system so no dizzi cap or rotor to change. The wires should be plug and play. Although I did notice you're putting them on a 2003, so I wonder what your mileage is. Normally I would go 40-50K before changing wires, and quite often the OEM wires are usually very good.
 
i have about 33K on my car as of now

CitezenPro, from what I can see on your pics......it looks like you just removed the two black boxes from ontop of the plugs and relocated them to the front of the engine?

does this work?

The Nology Hotwire kit relocates the coils just like in my pic......and yes, it works fine.

The relocation looks great but I think I would be worried about the coils being that close to the headers. Seems like you'd lose some power through heat soak.
 
Someone needs to make a how to for us dumbasses. I keep looking at it and everyone is telling me how easy it is (like just slap them on) but i cant figure it out. HELP!

You literally just pull off the old wires and put the new ones on.. that's all I did. No tools required.
 
well i'm going to take a crack at relocating the coils tomarrow.........is there anything I should watch for or anything else I need to do this?

Thats why i wrapped the header.....it took away a good amount of heat from the wires. Im going to wrap them a second time, for extra security pretty soon.

Theres actually a bracket that u need to relocate them. The Nology kit comes with it......and if u could post up a pic of the wires that you have, we all could tell you if its going to work.
