Thumbs down

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????

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

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??

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!
