just ohm those wires, and let us know whats goin on, is the coil putting out withing specs?, im thinking its the wires.... the rotor and points in the cap dont have arc burns/pitting do they? another thing that helps too is some electronic grease or white lithium grease, put a thin coat on the rotor and on the points in the cap, i had a spark issue once in my b series it would break up and chatter at like 5,000 rpms, and a little white lithum grease got that bitch roaring again :6

Re: Ignition breakup revisited
 

i had a bad set of wires doing this to me on my first setup.

id put in all new ignition components and dont ---- around...sounds like you've done all that cept the wires tho anyways.

Re: Ignition breakup revisited
 

If you do not have OEM Honduh wires, that could be the problem.

Got any pictures of your plugs?

Re: Ignition breakup revisited
 

Well the wires are blue so I doubt they're OEM. I'll get some pics of the plugs up this weekend.

Re: Ignition breakup revisited
 

I had the same problem as you when i upped my boost up to 10 psi...after reading what everyone had replied to your previous post i gapped the plugs down and the problem disappeared completely. Might also check and see if maybe you're arcing through the boots at the bottom of your plug wires. I had a set of knology hotwires that blasted through the insulator at the bottom near the spark plug, but it would only arc at higher rpm's.

I'm still hoping it's the wires... Thanks for the inupt

Anybody know if d16z6 wires are the same as d16y5? I'm assuming I get the wires that match my head (y5) and not the block (z6)

Re: Ignition breakup revisited
 

Do you know how to gap plugs?

no.. serious question, make sure they are slammed down and the ignition system is in perfect order. ;)

I had the same problem with my Civic when I put the last turbo kit on. I sold the car before I could figure out what it was.

I had the same plugs, gapped.028, crane cam ignition box, MSD blaster cap, fireball coil and stock wires. in the higher rpm's it would breakup like you describe.

Yea I just have one of those cheap gappers that look like a coin and cost a buck. Worked fine on my old setup gapped at .030"
