Default My Rx-3's comeback! NRS Rotorsports and Chip Motorsports on board..

I decided to try one more time to bring my Rx3 back after 2 accidents in the past. With the help of chip motorsports lapping and nitriding the side housings and Sven over at NRS Ceramic Power Seals delivering ceramic apex seals. Chip motorsports delivered top quality work of lapping and nitriding the plates, NRS Rotorsports Delivered top quality ceramic apex seals. this time around I will not use nitrous oxide(car was all over the road with NOS) I will concentrate on ALL MOTOR. I'll be testing methanol fuel and pushing the all motor set-up to the limits.. goal is 350rwhp.. ..

specs..
series 6 engine.. bridgeport/partial p-port
s5 NA. rotors
Rx8 e-shaft
chip motorsports lapping and nitriding
NRS Rotorsports 2mm one piece ceramic apex seals.

Try a Wix filter from NAPA with a 350 to 500 pound burst can, or a K&N filter with a 500 pound burst can. Also much more media surface than any Fram.
