I've been building a new motor with plans to run a pair of FD rotors. At the same time I had been in contact with Edgar at E & J to see if he could mill a set of side seals for rx8 rotors like he has done for rx7 rotors.
And he did.
So now that the side seals are ready, this new motor will run rx8 rotors with these new side seals as well as E & J 2mm full height apex seals.

Just so people can do some searching the E & J 2mm full height apex seals where formally known as ALS seals, E & J provided them to ALS. due to some issues on ALS side, E & J are now there own seals and marketing them as such. but there the same seals.

In response to the bending of the side seal and if it helps any(https://www.facebook.com/video/embed...51546884601671).
No it doesn’t help or hurt. I can tell you if they get stuck they won’t break. The bending comes from the material type and it has nothing to do with its strength. The material is very strong and flexible, it also has better heat resistance than the factory seals. On our apex seals we have run 70 psi of boost and seen EGT temps of 1400 F without any failures. I don't recommend anyone try it, but for testing purposes it provided us with great info. We tested the material on a Renesis engine with our billet rotors and rx-7 version of these side seals and had no problems. The issue is temperature and direct contact with exhaust gases because of the position of the exhaust ports. Where do we start to fix this problem? Well, I would start with the side seals, find a material that will withstand more heat and maybe the heat transfer won’t be as great to the springs which would make them last longer. The next step would be to try to extend the life of the spring and increase temperature resistance by coating the spring itself.
Thank you.

The upper is a Pro-Jay MTBA 8-injector Elbow to AccuFab 90mm Mustang TB.

Previous results were more than promising considering the setup at the time and condition of the motor.
There have been significant improvements/changes to the setup (one being the 9.0:1 rotors), I'm just picking up where I left off and with what I've learned, goal is somewhere around 700-750hp @ 30psi based on those previous results and current setup.

And based on what I’ve seen from you over the course of about 10 years I’d say you are FAR from a chicken bruh.

Thank you sir. The MSP isn’t that bad of platform at all depending on the application. It just needs to breath...a LOT, as in open exhaust a lot, and it will make a LOT of reliable power.

That said...it's intriguing to follow others undertaking quality builds pursuing BIG#s.
