I've wanted to try those new seals but not on a motor I need or am spending tons of money on. I need a motor to play with...

The direct oil injection is interesting, but I wonder how well it flows under high pressure. The 60-120 PSI of oil coming out of the pump is reduced by the time it hits the rotors. I can't tell if the oil feed is from the "cooling chambers" or direct off the main bearing, but... I'm not convinced there would be enough pressure to kick a lot of oil out.

I assume R&D has been done to prove this works, but I think I'll stick to premix.

well there's no oil coming out of it now?
so i figure, if you're gonna go for it. Do it, on a cheap 12a. I'll get around to it eventually. Right now I have to learn how to build a motor first.
