I'm putting together my 12A bridge, when i realized...maybe I want to use some different seals since the motor is a nitrous application... I was going to just use the atkins 2pc 2mm seals that I have in my 13b turbo, but was curious what you all have used to get good results w/ Nitrous on your blocks?

I prefer 2mm seals...but other than that, I'm open to suggestions...

Looking to start out at 150shot on this motor...maybe step up to 175 later on...

Speaking of cryogenic treatment, I'd like to see some data on this. I've heard about it here and there but haven't seen any documentation or research done on it. You guys got any handy, Kaffy?

Ha hah haah aaaa Kaffy, that's awesome kaffy... I'm drunk by the way. What benifits does kryo offer? Wont one detonation kill any apex seal no matter what it is? I know I can blow up stock ones at 10 psi and 89 octane...

I would suggest the complete mazda performance seal set , very popular with the P-port nos crowd in Japan.You get better side and corner seals with that set as well..

Yes they do have them, they even have them for the 10a with 6mm apex seals, I was suprised at that.

thats cool! i'm kinda not suprised actually, seems like they have everything.

lol

[start mazdausa sucks rant] so this week they managed to loose a $6000 transmission (they know it left the wherehouse, they know when it left, but the do not know HOW).... which of course they billed us for, we filed a claim, and reordered another, which hasn't shown up either. this of course wouldnt be a big deal except in the interim the owner of the van has moved from CA to texas, in one of our vans, so we have to somehow get her van to texas, and our van back to california. its like a giant butterfly effect, just cause we dont have 10a parts....
