No platenum. It isnt good for turbocharged or N20 engines. Just get the stock replacements (NGK?) at autozone. Get the '9' heat range for all four. This will run better with your setup martin.



I think the partnumber is like BERQ9somethingblah



Just get the 9's all around.

autozone doesn't sell NGK plugs, but advance auto does.

I used the stock 9's the whole way around on the single turbo with 18psi for 20k miles with zero problems.

any different recommendation for bone stock or will four 9's work good in that situation too? (i've just been using the bur7eqp and bur9eqp??)





anyone seen the plugs for the rx-8? i dont know anything about plugs but someone beside me said they weren't "top gap" anymore which was apparently good(?)

Yes....and less likely chance of detonation. You choose.



Part number is BUR9EQ for the stock trailing plug.

how often should the plug wires be changed? ever? or just if they are 10 years old and cracking? do "high perf" wires matter? (stock ignition, pfc)
