I am in the middle of building a N/a j-bridgeport race engine with rx8 internals(wire cut 2mm rotor slots) that has been modified to suit new s5 housings & i'm looking to use your apex seals within this engine.

With the 10:1 compression ratio & high rpm requirements (regularly buzzed past 9500, 10,000 limit for club racing) of this engine, i wanted to ask if your apex seals would satisfy the additional load of a multi-point nitrous setup for occasional use.
As i read your seals are suitable for boost etc, i thought these maybe a nice option, but i have also heard that the seals are relatively soft(which i like for reduction in housing deterioration)....so i need your suggestions.
i'd really like your advice/re-assurance ( I only use a very well respected & technically experienced rotary tuner for timing & a/f adjustments) that the seals are infact suitable for my particular application.
What might you expect in regard to longevity from the apex seals & new corner seals on a fresh race engine?
This engine includes dynamically balanced rotating assembly, side clearanced rotors, modded rx8 stat. gears & bearings,re-grooved & nitrided plates, billet flywheel, modified remote oil system/ flow & pressures, wolf 3d v5 computer for control, M&W rotary cdi ignition.

 

As long as the engine is tuned correctley you wont have a problem with my seals..

I have had 45pbs of boost on race engines in the past and with no problem, I have another client that is running NOS {I think it is 250-300 shot} with no problems eather, so in your set up I dont see why you will have a problem...

BTW is there a chance you can post up or E-mail me photos of the car??

yeh not a problem i can email some pics. really aint much to see at the moment since its stripped bare..it just rolled out of the shop after a bare metal (pearl satin white) re-spray. will gladly send them along though if you'd like.
tune will definitely be right.. also using the wolf to trigger the nos system & will dynotune the setup on completion... looks like i may also have to order a manual rx8 eccentric shaft from you to... the price here in aus. is ridiculous for some reason with regard to the rx8 shafts. all the other necessary engine parts are reasonable.
thanks again.
