ok, I know I dont post in this section often and if all goes well next year I will be here more often then anything . First things first... I need some suggestions or advice on which type of seals I should put on my motor this time around. I am split between the 3mm OEM ones, 2mm ceramic eneti seals, and the 3mm hurly seals, which I believe are ceramic as well, not sure, however. I was advised by a formal Idol, but now peer, I guess ( Adam Saruwatari, did I spell that right?) to go with the hurly 3mm seals, but Tripoint who will be doing the work my motor advised me to stick 2mm ceramic eniti seals, if I am going to be using high boost. Then there is TTT car, who is running 3mm OEM seals, and his cars reliability just astounds me everytime we use to go out, cause we all know he cant drive for **** (TTT if you are reading this, gimmie a call back before posting, we need to talk.) . So I have until tomarrow to make up my mind which route I want to go. Just to let you know, I would take reliability over all else, however, I will see where that will go, since I will be running Nitrous and a single turbo soon. So, I would like some suggestions and comments, if any of you are running any of the seals I mentioned.

Thanks,

Marvin

P.S. Ok I edited his name, I was just to lazy to go look at my big *** poster he signed for me across my room

 

wtf, he's your idol and peer and you can't even spell his name right? if your gonna name drop do it right dogg.

btw, go w/ the 2mm ianetti ceramics.

 

i'm running 2mm stock OEM mazda seals. an engine is only as strong as it's builder and tuning. i have beat the living crap out of my engine and not one hiccup. that includes 25drag runs already on a engine with a few hundred miles on it and 150 psi compression on both rotors food for thought

 

150 psi compression. wow.... My TII did the big honkin 70 psi per per rotor...Max

 

lol, vosko you're braggin about compression after a few hundred miles. you're engine's brand new!

 

i saw another race engine he built had 145 psi compression, that was before it was even broken in !

 

i've heard of lots of rebuilds that have 100 psi compression. most rebuilt engines DO NOT have 150psi.........atleast not that i have seen. if someone wants to prove me wrong please do it lol

i'm allowed to brag. i love my engine!!!!!!!!!

 

hey so what's so special about yours? did the judge do anything special or did you just luck out.

 

you hit the nail on the head. the judge built it. that alone makes it special

 

so what's his secret. other than new rotor housings.

 

i was there when he built the engine but i don't know. he clearances everything ALOT.... takes forever but seems to work very well!

 

I would suggest the 2mm ceramics, but since reliability is above all other factors for importance, then you might as well get the 3mm OEM seals. The 2mm ones will give you a little more HP with the same engine set up, and will do a better job of sealing also, but if you use them, you have to DAMN WELL MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IT EXCELLENT! because 1 little blip and it's toast. That's the good thing about the oem 3mm is that they can handle a couple tuning mistakes or pings here and there so youre engine isn't toast before you can tune it better. So yeah, since reliability is your #1 concern, 3mm. Otherwise, i would suggest 2mm ceramics.

 

You will loose compression with a big port especially if it has a lot of overlap, I'm running 2mm atikins seals in my engine. $240 for the whole set and I'm running 19 psi with a to4R with 89 oct. gas from the military base.. Japanese gas is too expensive..

 

You have small ports

the larger your intake ports the less 'static' compression you'll have on a guage

i have tested a 12A turbo which had done approx 90000miles and it was getting 150-160 on all phases of both rotors, why? because they run small port duration.

 

Vosko has small ports...............hahahahaha


Sucks to be you!

 

So you're saying OEM 3mm are stronger than Ceramic 2mm? I doubt it...

Crashunit, Hurleys are NOT ceramic! They are THE SOFTEST apex seal you can buy! There are some very lengthy discussions about this in the rotary section...

 

 

actually vosko has some pretty damn big ports

 

You've seen his ports????

You guys need to keep that **** behind closed doors man....I don't want to know about it...

 

HWO i do ? wow i love when people tell me about stuff on my own car ? did you port my engine ? were you ther when it was assembled ? yet another aussie who is WRONG! my ports are not small........ they are pretty LARGE. you can think whatever you want but you are still wrong

 

eric we all can't be as cool as you and throw our cars into a tree a few hours after we get it back from the shop. i'm sorry

 

now i know gotboostd7 is just ******* with me but..... i'm still gonna **** with him anyway. how's the car running ?

 

Sorry we all can't be as fat as you.

 

Vosko is FAT!!!??? LOL, no wonder he runs such slow times @ the track...dude, go on a diet...muhahahah...

or hire Jonski to drive your car...he looks like he weights about 88 lbs...lol

k

 

apparently when you are fat and don't do steriods like you, we don't crash our cars. i'll be fat any day than a stupid juicehead like you
