SAY BYE BYE TO THE APEX SEALS.... ALONG WITH THE CASE RUBBER O RINGS THEY USE TO SEAL EACH CYLINDER/ROTOR FROM COOLANT

AT ONE TIME LONG LONG AGO IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY.... WE HAD A 20B 3 ROTOR IN PLACE OF THE 13BREW IN OUR FD3 RX7 I BOUGHT...

AND WE WENT THROUGH APEX SEALS AS SOON AS BOOST WENT PAST ABOUT 20-23 PSI..... THE "APEX" SEALS (THE ONES ON THE TIP OF EACH ROTOR) WOULD ACTUALLY SHATTER. THEY WERE A REALLY HARD BRITTLE METAL. THEN I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO MADE HARDENED IRON ONES AND THEY HELPED..... A LITTLE

 

When I lived in NC, my neighbor used to work for Mazda factory race team back when they where based here in the states. He could build some BIG HP rotaries. He had found a guy who build ceramic apex seal that would stand up to pretty much anything. Only problem was they where 2 GRAND for a set of 6 (2rotor motor). Hell they're only about 2" wide 1/2" tall and 1/8" think, and 2K! lol

 

WERE ALL IN THE WRONG BUSINESS

 

thats all it took?

 

 

that is some stuiped ****

 

 

talking about the motor video.

 

OH...... YEAH THAT WAS PRETTY CRAZY.... BUT I SAY IF YOUR HEAD TO HEADER FLANGE IS CATCHING ON FIRE DURING A RUN.... YOU NEED TO LEAN IT OUT JUSTA LIL... YOU MAY BE RUNNING A LITTLE TOO FAT..


THEN I JUST REMEMBER ITS A ROTARY... THEYVE RUN WAY PIG RICH AS LONG AS THEYVE EXISTED
