I believe RA seals have a reputation for not cracking/breaking. Warping is never mentioned. I'm pretty sure that any seal of any brand will warp with enough heat and pressure.

But the factory Mazda seals do crack/break right? I think that's the trade off. I could be completely wrong. Any info would be much appreciated.

That cooling panel looks familiar! :D

(please excuse the "drift", my friend though it would be cool to right that on there with a permanent ink :( )

+1...Sure is a whole lot of Room:icon_tup: Should'nt have much of a problem tuning the 2k's down... but why'd you chose 4x 2000's? instead of say the 1000's on the primaries and 2ks on the secondaries?

Zenki FC3S 05-28-13 12:46 PM

its better to not max out your fuel for your power range. yea the 2000's duty cycle for the primaries is going to be half of what the 1000's were to be.

-6 AN from the tank will be fine, but -8 AN will ensure that there is enough fuel on stand by.

Buy once and never have to upgrade to bigger thangs later

like i mentioned before i'm planning on going to e85 eventually and want to be sure i have enough injector... I'm running -8 pickup in the atl cell thru an A1000 with pre and post -8 filters, -8 up to a y block at the firewall to 2 -6 thru each rail back to an aeromotive fpr and -6 return... so i should have enough fuel delivery to easily run e85... may be a bit overkill but one thing you can never have enough of is fuel...

so many times during demo's with my green car I'd overhead the shit out of it.. and the only saving grace was dumping fuel with air and coolant temp corrections to keep it from shitting itself...

Derek King 05-28-13 02:28 PM

im running x4 Id2000s on e85 in the fd. Runs drives great still and smells awesome. woooo

factory 2pc 2mm seals

Just now saw this and noticed I had a typo. I have x4 2200cc Injectors.
I use Klotz Super TechniPlate oil. Just had to buy a new case this week.
Klotz is based out of Fort Wayne so its pretty convenient for me plus im pretty sure its the best stuff to mix with E85. One ounce per gallon is what I mix at.
