Put the injector tail with a rag around it in a vice and use some heavy duty pliers to get the injectors out. worst case, just send them as is and let RX engineering or whoever deal with it

I'm pretty much dead set on mazda seals but I hear so much about RA and Atkins seals but rarely anything about JHB's apex seals. Anyone have word on the JHBs?

I've also heard that some people think that RotorSportsRacing.com's seals are just rebadged RA seals... Anyone hear about that?

In fact, one of my customers called the other day and admitted to running a 100 shot of nitrous and exceeding 20psi boost on a mildly modded turbo II with these seals, and he didnt break them...did manage to break the rear iron at the dowelpin, though, and is now pissing out oil everywhere through the hole. The only thing is about these seals, is that if you're reusing housings you'll have a longer breakin for compression to come all the way up, since these are a harder seal and don't seem to wear as much.
Compared to what you list on your site for Atkins Seals (< 4K RPM and no boost till 1500 miles and oil changes at 500 and 2000 miles), how much longer do the RA seals need to build full compression?

I have RA seals and cant be happier with them....i have about 6000 miles on the engine and i am currently converting my twins over to a gt35r. I spiked sometimes with the stock twins and have had no problems.

edit: banzai racing in Indiana also built my engine
