What is the best apex seals made for the 93-95 RX-7!
Whose make the best apex seals available for 93-95 RX-7. What is the seals of choice 2mm or 3mm. I am planning to run 18psi and my goal is to make 400+rwhp. What is everybody using in theirs 13B-REW.
stock 2mm is what im gonna be runnin..im shootin for 500+@ 20-22psi
mabe more who knows
hurleys are nice b/c if u pop it they are *suposidly wont kill turbo* softer, wich makes them seal better but also wear faster...
ceramic is nice but$$$$$$$$ not that that matters to u but if u detonate they all go...
3mm will take detonation better than 2mm but the problem is getting the rotors milled properly fot the 3mm seals, seems from what ive researched there is some trouble getting consistent and well machined rotors...

Option 2 just dyno that car. Just have 600 rwhp
The name is NB Apex Seal. My RX-7 parts book is at home now. Don't know it's a 2mm or 3mm, but it can take 600 rwhps. Do you care?
I've heard a lot of conflicting conflicting information about apex seals...from what I've gleaned, you'll be fine running a stock 2 piece 2mm seal. Stock seals can handle a lot of boost, just not detonation...no seals can help with that. I think you should just stick with the 2mm's and just get the car properly tuned.

its not about the seals...its about the tuning. you have 5mm seals if you want. if the car is tuned incorrectly, youll blow those too! stock seals could take all the abuse 3mm ones can take knowing that the car is tuned correcly. do a search on this. this debate is almost as big as the FMIC vs. SMIC war and sythetic oil vs. dino debate.
My dream engine would have 2mm Ianetti ceramic seals for their superior wear qualities and lighter weight. You don't need 3mm seals with 18psi, and 2mm seals better. Of course, if you bust ceramic seals, say goodbye to the rotor housings, but you're not going to do that cause you're going to tune the car very carefully, right?

Actually, Mazdatrix does sell carbon seals...never heard much about them though
