3mm xeals suck ***. The point of going with a 13B is so you can use the later rotors with 2mm seals, so use 'em!
I like the setup (especially the 13B e-shaft - always important to use in a 13B
) but I'd do two things: I'd brew up one of my special exhaust ports instead of (what I assume you refer to) the RB streetport exhaust, which opens waaaaaaaaaaay too early. And I'd use the aluminum flywheel instead of the steel one.

That's the Only thing different between what you are talking about doing than what I did with my engine.

turbos have the benefit of recycling (otherwise) wasted engergy
and can be tuned to deliver similar / same power for similar / less fuel (depending on the setup)

Loose the ceramic coating on the rotors and just stick with 2mm apex seals. Lots of people have problems when they machine the slots and use aftermarket seals. Not worth the risk.

im not gonna use nitrous
i like the idea of a different exhaust port
so i guess ill use 2mm seals ( why are 3mm bad?)
rxseven, why should i lose the ceramic rotor coating? it boosts the power.
edit: the engine is gonna be n/a for starters and sometime later on ill install a turbo setup. n/a id like to get it tuned to 200 at the wheels, some may think its a little far fetched for a streetport but i think i can do it.

They're also harder on rotor housings and they don't seal as well. (3mm that is)
Strength is a non issue, you won't break apex seals with an N/A engine.
Also, the 3mm's are now absurdly expensive!
