I am wondering what kind of plugs and wires people are using for their 8's. i'm getting ready to change mine. i used iridium plugs in my s10. anyway...maybe a better question would be...what is the best performance plugs and wires for a 2004 rx-8????

 

well, unless your gonnan push like 300+hp
the stock plugs and wires are the best, there are aftermarket one, but most people agree the stock application is best performance your gonna get.

 

oh ok. i'm pretty much going to stay stock power wise. maybe some exhaust. but probably stick with OEM replacement plugs and wires? should i get them from the dealership?

 

Actually there are better after market wires. They are more heat resistant. And some transmit the voltage better to thicker copper.

Remember heat destroys wires and the rotary is 2x hotter than a piston engine.

Try racing beat or mazda trix.

I couldn't find any Denso's but I would like yo use them.

Stick with Stock NGK plugs, go with aftermarket wires like RacingBeat or Mazdatrix

do NOT get Nology, unless you want to kill ur car.

and do NOT get Denso.

 

magnecores are another choice........ havent heard anything bad about those.

 

Go with the stock NGK plugs (make sure the leading ones have grooves in them, those are the newest version)

As for wires, go with the Racing Beat wires.

- I just installed both of those in my car 2 weeks ago....runs much smoother then before.

 

+1 magnecore

 

3rd gen rx7 plugs, like 33% of the cost of OEM plugs

 

I was talking with a rx7 owner putting 468 hp to the wheels he told me to buy some Taylor brand wires for a V8 (the universals!) you end up with 2 good sets of wires! now I trust this guy but will the work on the our motor?

 

If you go to sparkplugs.com you can get the stock NGK iridiums a lot cheaper than at the dealerships but will still run you about $20 per plug. They have the new leading plugs.

 

+2 8mm is all you need

 

brand new to the rx 8. So i can use 3rd generation rx 7 plugs? what would they be?

 

I like the RB wires, and I tested their resistance, it really is lower.

 

I have the 10.4mm Taylor plug wires. They are very nice. Got them off ebay.

 

I'm using mazdatrix, no complaints!

 

wow, they have the Magnecor 8.5 for under $60

So universal Taylors wires work?
