Edgar didnt have an exact mileage for me but he has a customer who has over 2 years of daily driving on these seals, he estimated around 20k miles.

[QUOTE=Mr Rota;9103842]Eastcoastparts

are we ever going to see a 3mm version of these seals

i would buy them straight away if you can supply

Petar[/QUOT


We are working in making them 3 mm for the 13b and also for the 12A. At this time we are working on a larger inventory for the 2mm. We hope to start on the new sizes in the next few month.

I also want to thank every one for the support that you have given us. This is the reason that we do what we do.

thank you

As long as the tuning is correct you will not have any problem and they will last for a long time. We have found that they are very forgiving, we have customer that have lean the motor out and they have held together. We have many customer running them in Puerto Rico at different boost level from 20 to 55 pound of boost, we also have customer running over 500 hp of nitrous. Little lucky in Puerto Rico has been running our seals for over a year with out bending them at 450 hp of nitrous. We been running ours at 45 psi for over 2 years and no problems. if you have any question you can email me at enjaut@bellsouth.net.

good luck

WHen i popped my motor with 3 pc seals.
The OEM seal chipped. Didnt break, just chippped a tiny peice of the corner of the seal and it compressed it on my housing.

That ruined my rotor,housing, rear and center plate. This made my rebuild so expensive i had to get a j-spec motor.

So, like Allen said. If it would save the rest of the engine and therefor saving you a lot of $$.
Im looking at the the same way ALlen does. Cheaper rebuilds = more drive time.

Are your apex seals the same design and machining process from day one to now?

Or has the design been improved on with coatings, machining, materials, etc.

I'm asking because i bought a set from a member and compared them to a set my friend just bought and they kinda look different. My set had more of a regular steel look to them, and the new set looked like there was a slight tint or coating on them. Could be wrong, but just thought I'd ask.

Well we have made some improvements to the seal but you really cant tell. The color of the coating still the same (dark gray) you might have an un coated set. send me a pic and i can verify if they are ours. enjauto@bellsouth.net.

thank you

Ive got several customers with over 10k miles reporting their car hot starts just as good as it did when they finished break in. Look at Sk8world in the drag racing section. Over 12k miles of use, still has great compression(engine he built himself) and is making a little over 600hp this whole time.

I dont know the exact number of engines I have built with these seals(25+ roughly), and have had no issues to date.

Have been running these for over a year now.
28 PSI and an old E6K.
No problems what so ever with the seals. I did crack a rear iron, but the seals held up and saved my T72!

For a NA I would just stick with OEM Mazda seals.
