Spark plug NGK or BRISK

I run the IS38 FBO and beat the crap out of my car and use stock heat-range Rutheniums.

Spark plugs. NGK 4 lyfe

NGK spark plugs are preferred in rotary engine (RE) Mazdas and Nippondenso is the only acceptable substitute that I ever found. We dealership technicians, always found it remarkable how a set of Champion or AC spark plugs could instantly cripple a rotary powered Mazda.

My 2017 Jetta SEL with LFER7BHX 9512 plugs starts/runs fine at 50076 miles, 0-100 degrees F.

You can run NGK Rutheniums, i run them on with my is20 and no complaints either.

I swapped for Rutheniums, No complaints and its a easy job

Stick to NGK R7437s. They are pricey but the best plug for a tuned car forsure. I inspect the gap every 5k miles and replace every 10k. Mine are gapped to .022

I’d go with the recommended NGKs, buy from fcp euro and you only need to pay for them once. Those are what I run on APR stage 2.

That’s curious….. if you look closely at the end of the shorter plug you can see another set of threads, it looks like there an insert threaded onto that spark plug. It would appear that it wouldn’t be sitting where it needs to in the combustion chamber so that may explain your misfire.

Recently i changed my spark plugs DENSO IRIDIUM IK22 with NGK BKR7E gapped at 0.28inch-0,70mm. The car became very laggy, the throttle response got worse, much more turbo lag and major lost of power. Also im going back with the Densos.
