The Iridum plugs are not the old BUR series I used to
use. I'll have to get that number for you. I pulled them out of the
Renesis crate engines I bought so I assume they are the standard plugs used in
the RX-8 car. They look similar to the old style plugs with adjustable
gaps but the electrodes are extreamly fine wire. Very
expensive (so I'm told) and fragile looking but they work
great.
I think that would be the Denso IRT01-31;
about $35.00 each. They apparently use iridium for both electrodes.
But if they last 10 times as long, it’s worth it.

I have found that on the standard B9EGV the
ground electrode erodes and the gap gets wider. Having an iridium center
electrode may not improve the lifetime; although they are only about $1.50 more
than the standard.
