Nitrous and Carbon Apex seals
Nitrous and Carbon Apex seals
Well what i am wondering is how much nitrous or if anyone is running nitrous with carbon apex seals, i would run steal apex seals but i would hate to have it blow and destroy my mfr pp housings, thanks, mike
Mike the most I've ever ran was a 150 shot on my old peripheral engine. I know for a fact that some people have ran upto a 200 shot for short periods. Rob at Pineapple said 150 is on the safer side, but the motor could hold more. CJ
i have heard of people running 100-150 on stock seals but they were brand new stock seals, my freind blew his stock 12a seals on a 50 shot, but the car had like 70,000 on it
I know what nitrous does and I have used it in a variety of cars but what I'm trying to understand is do the seals just get brittle after a lot of mileage? I know the sudden change of temperature with nitrous puts some formula for disaster on the seals if abused but I am gonna experiment maybe. My FD only has 27k miles on the stock motor so I don't think there should be a problem with a 100 shot. I'll post up my outcome, unless I go single first

I have run upwards of staged 250hp shots on stock 2mm 3-piece and 2-piece apex seals without problem.
