Ok say you got the tuning all G. Whats the highest you cna go on pump gas before you blow it up?? I heard the cooling and lubrication are the limiting factors in the rotary engine. Well those and the apex seals. If you run a big radiator and a big oil cooler will it help??

20B's are only automatic!? awwww maannn. is there anything you can do to make it stick? :rant:
Oh, don't forget a good clutch
Funny that Mazda said 20B were all auto because there was no manual to take the torque but the Turbo 11 box is fine, even at 350 hp

RPM is the big killer with std apex seals. Stick to 7000 and they will be OK
Add detonation at high boost & RPM tho and you are asking for tears!

detonation will kill the seal no matter the RPM...
The stock seals (they're all pretty much the same from 86-Current) will take a shitload of power, and some high RPMs.
Don't look down on the stock Mazda Apex Seals. They're very good.
