I'll be using the ALS Seals............. and going for more boost than that. But, I'm on a budget.

Honestly, if tuned right....... stock seals should be fine for 20 psi. They worked fine in my old car with 30 psi for 4 years without any issues

I was told first to go with SUPER SEALS then i was told that, that aplication was for 40psi and wouldnt need it. Then i was told I think it was called Hachkins seals. if i can make well over 500 hp than thats just a bonus . But im tring to have a realist goal. Talked to some one around the way here and he said was willing to duplicate a build he did on another car for 650 hp. jus a little confused. Been in the game but this is first time with a rotary.... I used to be into high horse power civics untill all the little kids came with there Grandmas cars and a cannon on the back tring to race everything they see!!!! Retired that reeeeal fast, they gave it a bad name....

In my opinion, ALS, NRS, and RA, are the best choices.

(I use RA super seals)
