Denso Iridium Cold Plugs
Okay, all of you who have popped for the new Greddy turbo, here is something you should invest in. Denso has plugs for engines running FI or with some sort of engine mod. It helps prevent against pinging and fowling....check em out at www.sparkplugs.com
I got some and they make a good bit of difference. I can manipulate my AFR really close to 14.2 without any pining...cooooooooool!

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I actually put in a set of NGK/Mazda RE8A-L spark plugs (leading & 1 heat range colder). I wonder if I can/should mix brands & get the Densos for the trailing units. Definitely good to know for the future.

My understanding is that there is not going to be any trouble with the mixing of plugs...however, different companies use different "terms" for what is colder. So, you may end up with plugs running at very different temps...that could be bad...you would run fowl and two or normal on two and ping on two..
Just my 2 cents.

I noticed that an RX7 runs the same 7-leading and 9-trailing heat ranges. This model is already used in a boosted application. 7-leading and 9-trailing... when does the Rx7 have to step into a colder spark plug? I had the same concern a while ago regarding stepping up to a colder plug (had some help from Mazdamaniac...thanks again!).

hey i know this is a super old thread bu id hate to start a new one to ask a question...
im going to be changing out my plugs, wires and decided to go ahead and swap out the coils aswell...(might as well lol)
im looking at getting plugs and i was interested in what else is available, i read that stock plugs are the way to go. i was looking at denso iridium plugs and was wondering if this would be another way to go. heres the thing tho...
i have a HKS ignition amp and was hoping to get plugs that would last longer with the amp, after reading between platinum and iridium, iridium seems to be stronger by comparison. im confused as to what stock are because they seem to be listed as platinum but people here say oem is iridium.
another question i have is with colder plugs...i kno they are traditionally for boosted applications, i plan on getting a piggy back and am going to get it tuned...i kno with colder plugs you get more flexibility to tune the car and can work with issues like pinging better. Can i use a colder plug in order to tune the car a lil more aggresively even tho im NA, will the initial loss of power colder plugs usually give be ofset by more gains of the tuning?
Please let me know what you think, i look forward to insightfull suggestions.
btw im at 70k, with the plugs changed at dealer at 45k...i say im due pretty soon.

i was gonna do the same thing, but everyone on here does say that the stock plugs are iridium, but then they recommend the plugs on mazsport, but those are platinum, and as far as i know iridium is better than platinum, so whats that all about?
But for you, i would say that colder would be better for tuning.

any other ideas if i could/should go with a colder plug for more aggressive tuning?
and would iridium be best for the HKS amp for more longevity of the plugs?
please let me know, i plan on buyin monday to hopefully get it by thanksgiving weekend

The Professor
The problem with lesser metals is that the less dense the metal is the more quickly it is vaporized.
So iridium>platinum>copper
as far as longevity.
You could use copper plugs, the only thing that is essential is the shape of the plug. the materials used only factor in on how long the plugs will last.
