PHE Apex Seals
I just ordered a full set of 2mm Hurley race seals for the half bridge I am putting together , I then came across the MAZDACOMP site and their PHE seals, anyone using them , how good are they and how do the compare to the HURLEYS , also can these seals be used with the HURLEY dual springs ?

Opiston, Soul,
Yes they are the same ones from the Scoot FD. They have a good reputation and can hold a ***** load of boost without shorting the life of the engine, they can hold like 2.5 bar I believe. I really dont know the material though, maybe ceramic..
Stock ones are good to go unless you want to go over 1.2 boost...

ceramic seals are super expensive also, hold a **** load of boost but if you snap one kis your rotors,housings and sidplates and turbine good bye if it gets in there. thats the only drawback they are so hard they will **** some **** up if they break, tougher apex seals only are as good as the tuner crappy tuner you can use titanium seals they will still break

36lbs of boost 205Nitrous oxide shot making 700RWHP on a 13B Fd engine on a Mazda factory stock apex seals Amen!!!!! Stock apex seals properly tuned = a happy engine..by the way this engine is constantly abused or better yet drag raced very hard, every other weekend. the car was the 2001 pro comp. class points champion and this year the car is in second place in points with the NOPI drag racing series.. car runs 8.2 @165mph all metal ,weight requirement is 2200lbs.. I repeat stock apex seals...

i just went to the mazdacomp site, those things are just straight butter. they're machined from billet nodular steel. i'd like to know what the nb seals are made of to compare. can anyone get the phe mazdacomp seals for a better price than $500? that's a lot of cash for 12 small strips of steel. i need these quick as i am in the middle of a rebuild.
as for the stock apex seals being good for a lot of hp, i see what you guys are saying, but you have to understand not everyone can have perfect tuning all the time. it's good to have a safeguard against detonation just in case. it's like saying if you tune a turbo piston engine right there's no point in upgrading to forged pistons and rods. if this is indeed a stronger apex seal (although that's still to be decided) then i want it.
