I was going thru a stack of old papers and found this flyer, I got this guys number that was racing in Nopi last year, with a 3rd gen running R85 single and was in the 7 something quaters miles. I was talking to him about what turbo he was using and he said he sells them for like 3500 for the kit, and he wrote his number down on this flyer which i never noticed until now, it says

I tried the web site and came up with nothing. Anybody heard of these?

 

their was an article in RX Tuner tunner if i remember right.

 

I just got off the phone with the company, the guy seems to know a lot about rotarys. has some interesting IDEAS.

 

Tells us !!!!! what you know

How much?


I'll definately have to call, just wondering if anybody has heard of them, or have experience with them.

 

Aren't most of the seals that are resist detonation a bit very ductile? Doesn't that translate to other problems?

 

Bullshit until I see numbers...like hardness?
The URL you posted doesn't work.

It's always some sort of compromise between hardness and housing "safety." Like if the seal breaks easily, then the housing will be fine.

I think stock Mazda's are still the best compromise for 80% of the people out there.

 

If I remember correctly I read in RX tuner that those seals go upwards around the $2000 range
