Hello all, I'm new to rotary engines, and I know this is in the FAQs somewhere..
But i need a definate recommendation of new spark plugs for my 12a.
I bought this just a few weeks ago, havent drivin it much yet, but I took a look around and noticed it has a RB header, and NGK spark plug wires, but not NGK spark plugs..

Any suggestions?
Thanks

 

Go with NGK plugs. Does the car run? Pictures? Welcome to the forum

 

Thanks for the friendly welcome, the car runs well, but I'm sure it would run better with NGK plugs, previous owner had no-name installed I believe..
I was reading, and there appears to be different types of plugs from NGK avaliable for the 12a.. and I dont know which ones are best for me..
Pic is attatched! It needs a little body work and paint, but other than that, its awesome

I hope to soon get some outdoor pics, the garage is a bit dark

Thanks

Edit: I attatched the wrong pic.. there we go

 

Very nice. More pics are a must LOL. 4 prong plugs are best. How many miles are on it?

 

around 240k on the car

Previous owner had the motor rebuilt at sometime, unsure on the miles since then, though

 

Pretty nice. Hope all goes well. What are your plans for it?

 

Thanks, I plan to paint it gloss black, get some RB springs (lower 1").. slap on some Konig Rewinds..
I gotta get rid of the rest of my emissions too, cats are gone already

welcome to the forum.

Very awesome. Mine is going black as well, but with significantly more body work/modifications than your's LOL. Any plans with full exhaust or porting?

 

I havent planned any porting, but as far as I'm concerned the exhaust is almost done.. header, collector, pipe, CHERRY BOMB (i have to get rid of this thing man) The last guy put a friggin cherry bomb on this car.. I'm looking towards magnaflow.. ?

 

Magnaflow, Borla, Racing Beat, all good mufflers. You should upgrade to the FC ignition and oil cooler. Just to help run a lot better

 

Thanks for the info,
I will do that!

 

Interested in a different set of lights perhaps?(Yeah yeah shameless plug LOL)

I use exclusively Nippon Denso plugs, they are great, hint keep a spare set at all times, and change the fuel filter now and then every 3000 miles.

 

NGK seems to be the concensus favorites. IIRC, BR9EQ14 and BR8EQ14. I'm experimenting with Autolite 2626, which may last longer and be more foul-resistant since they have an annular electrode. They used to be cheaper, too, but the price is creeping up. The key issue is that the electrode must not project into the swept chamber, or it will clip the apex seal.
