Sorry, hate to jump in but this is connected, what is the spark plug wire again.  I know I’VE ASKED before and made a mental copy in duplicate of the answer, but damn if I didn’t lose both copies. 

 

Humbly with only mild mental loss.

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.

in Iridium.......BR9EIX part # 3981...........Has a resistor...........

 

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.
