You would also want to have oil modifications that can keep up with your motor. I dunno how some of the high RPM guys overcome apex seal chatter though...

Interesting, I haven't really read alot of the theory on the carbon seals and how that would stop chatter. I should really look and read more into it though, its interesting stuff.
Once you start talking about carbon seals, clearancing, lightweight internals, race clearancing, oil modifications, P-porting, your talking HUGE money.
Wow I just looked on mazdatrix.com, and it looks like you can get front and rear RX-8 hardened stat gears (as previously mentioned) for about 200 USD as well. Damn, I didn't realize they were that cheap. Now I just need to consider if I want to go with a RX-8 eccentric shaft with my build as well...

I searched for "high rpm" in the 1st gen section, with results in the title only, and came up with this.

1st gens at the time had a high redline, now 7K is around the norm.
No, you can rev them high, but you still have to worry about them.

^Yeah, I didn't want to get into all of the detail, obviously a stockport 12A won't be making 280 hp if you raise the redline 2K, so I just lumped that into the "supporting modifications" category.

Porting, rotor clearancing, balancing, hardened stationary gears, 3 window bearings, larger oil pump, higher oil pressure. These mods more than double the cost of a full rebuild kit. Patrs and machine work run close to 2k, before the engine is even assembled.
Carbon apex seals don't chatter as much because they are lighter and softer, so the won't 'bounce' like the steel ones. This is the only cheaper part in the entire build. They also don't like boost.

I've been tossing around the idea of ceramic seals and the cermet coating for the TII build, haven't gotten past the cost issue yet. By the time I'm done with the wish list for all the parts for the build, I could have 6k in parts alone, that's what I have in the entire build so far.

so if you were to rebuild, balance, change bearings, 1. would you need to change counterweights, and 2. which would be closer to streetable, bridge, periph, or what? sorry newb to the diff port options outside of street port. thanks
