FS- n/a 20b rotor setup. Rx-8 rotors!

I have three nice Rx-8 rotors for sale, that will make for a very nice n/a setup. Lightweight and 10:1 compression. Just like Gordons engine! These have not been modified to accept the standard apex seals, but we can do the service for an additional $600.00
These are on Ebay right now, so whichever sells first!

Price for the three rotors- $750
Price for the three rotors with the machining- $1350

these deals have a disgusting habit of coming up whenever i'm out of pocket.


just out of curiosity, is the apex seal modification necessary if you stay normally aspirated? i thought the issue with the MSP apexes and peripheral exhaust ports were limited to forced induction applications.

anyway, someone buy his rotors. he's good people.

Yeah even n/a will need the modification. The apex seals will warp when used with a P-port exhaust. Gotta have the full size old model. Thanks Diabolical!

I dont believe Esmeril Racing seals are ceramic. They are designed for turbo applications. Ceramic is only good for all motor.

you can check the user Glassman for Renesis ceramics. i spoke with him about a year and a half ago when i first planned to build a Renesis for my Rx-8.

also, people use ceramics in forced induction applications.


EDIT: that aside ... another bump for GtoRx7.

yeah, my fault... i was looking at a set of carbon seals at the same time and got mixed up in my head.

carbon = all motor only

Price drop!

I am lowering the price to $600 for the set of three! If they dont sell, then I will separate them and do it individual.

Would you be happy to ship to the UK?

I am building a PP NA, I have my own machine shop, are there any other mods needed other than apex seals?

Would these need machining even if I was planning to build a non-PP engine?

No, that would be the only mod needed to run them. And balancing of course.

Its the p-port exhaust that makes the old seals needed.
