Hi, I just got a JDM (S5) and it's blown.. So i'm rebuilding it and doing a racingbeat streetport, and I plan on running 14PSI. I have looked a few kits/apex seals and can't decide. I like the www.rotaryaviation.com kit, But i dont know about the RA seals for a High boost app..



Can anyone tell me what seals are best for a high boost app???

Should I run OEM, Atkins seals, rx7 specialties seals, Rotorsportsracing seals OR will the RA seals be fine for turbocharging?? I'm impressed with the Rotorsportsracing seals and I can't find much info on the specialties seals...



Can anyone help???? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

Get rotors slotted for 3mm seals. Use factory mazda 3mm apex seals and springs use 12a turbo corner seals and fd cornerseal springs.

/\ /\ /\ I thought the best was to use akins solid corner seals and FD corner springs.

RE_TurboFB 02-21-2006 09:48 PM

What are the Pro's/Con's of using solid corner seals. (Like atkins)

I dont have the budget for machining rotors for 3mm apex seals. What are the best 2mm apex seals??

Slotting rotors only cost $60 in NZ

WOW Thats cheap I wounder if I could get a deal like that in Portland OR, If 3mm is that much stronger than 2mm it's worth it!
