NRS Ceramic Apex Seals (1-Piece, OEM Height)
Received these today for my 2010 Turbo Build which I'll be posting a thread about soon.
1-Piece, OEM Height Ceramic, no machining of rotors necessary... Enjoy. https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19403 https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19404 https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19405 https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19406 https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19407 https://www.rx8club.com/picture.php?...ictureid=19408 |

Richie,
I am very curious to see how well the machining and tolerances are on these seals. Could you do us a favor and post a pic like this ? That is a ground parallel underneath. |
Good Choice,
talk to CRH turblown, he speced them for my engine, and I know they were stupid close, like .0001 inches from each other. But my paperwork is at home. |
these the same ones you used Kane ?
|
Yeah mine were taller than OEM (FD height), but same company.
NRS makes good stuff. |
well at least we know they will hold to 220whp .....
|
Lolz.

Cleaned up a few and added a few pics.
Kane's type is the taller one on the bottom of the pic. Attachment 257468 Attachment 257469 Attachment 257470 Attachment 257471 Attachment 257472 Attachment 257473 Attachment 257474 |

i almost bought NRS ceramic seals, but it was really expensive, and i had to mill it deeper to fit it in.
i decided to get RA superseals instead and deepened the rotor.... my new engine now is with KDR in PA, being worked on, ported with RA superseals.. i will use it with my turbo set up.... btw, what are you going to use this set up for? is it going to be for FI or stock? steven |

I,m guessing the taller ones would be more robust in an FI application ?

Taller = FD sized seals.
I got them cause they didn't make 8 OEM ones at the time. And then when they started I couldn't wait. No worries, I like my bigger seals!!! HAHA |

The expense isn't that bad really, extra $500 bucks.
But hey; I like mine. Mostly I like the one piece design. |

that said, IMO they still are a waste for 99%+ of the types of builds/rebuilds i have seen here. but take it for a grain of salt since there's no reason for me to have a respected voice on the matter |

This is the first I have read about bigger seals in the 8.... You hear about them all the time with the 7 crowd but I assumed that was because they can make it over 350 hp... (way over). I can't wait to see this build progress. Good luck man!
|
What is this custom setup supposed to yield HP wise?
