Even by moving it to the Mazdatrix thread I'll still mention the FD rotors/low emap/no seals as part of that question involve both topics, that being said, I don't get your point.

And grumpy uncle is back I don't see what's the point of being negative in each comment, bad day mate?
Let's discuss things with respect instead of fighting to see who is right...

Even mockingly so a few times.

In reality you were seeking what you wanted to hear. If you want respect; try living up to your end as well. I went off on you a bit, because it’s clear the Barney Fife “nip-it-in-the bud” approach is more likely to be fruitful instead when the respectful approach failed.

Regardless; let’s cut the OP a break and carry on with it over in the proper thread instead.

All I mean is to speak peacefully... Respecting each other.

The only thing I'm looking forward is to see different theories from different perspectives.

If you think I want to hear something, either my French is really bad or you are the one who want me to follow the conversation in an specific way?

I'm not attached to any idea, quite the opposite, I'm open to see what will work, learn, try & error...

If my pp exhaust question was out of topic, ​​​​​​now we are way to far .

I guess we are done here.

we were done before it started in the wrong thread, since you reply copied I deleted the original posts to cut down the BFM here as much as possible. If you think it’s respectful for your own to remain in a build thread that has nothing to do with that subject, that’s your call.

Brett, what would be (in your opinion) all the negative consequences of running the rotors without those seals?

I think they work ok when the engine has emap below 1with Ethanol or Metanol as a fuel, but for all other situations are a no go. Which means you would only do it in an engine with a monster turbo used at full throttle most of its life. That means it's out for street and race cars ...ok in drag and landspeed.

Negative consequences would be blown oil control seals and maybe less power if emap is greater than 1.

Excellent, zero pressure drop. Looks nice and tight. I'm wanting to do something similar just in a slightly different position.

Do it. It’s worth it. Of course run a radiator if you’re doing anything other than drag racing though. And go with the biggest tank as is practical for your application. These guys build some insane ice/water tanks and A2W IC’s:

When you say "do it" do you have a particular use case in mind or are you saying in general? Of course I am aware of your goals but this seems to be a blanket statement so I am just curious if you see any downsides to a daily driver or other typical forum car scenario. Or should we all "doo eet"

Although A2W could also benefit the dd crowd, because it requires more maintenance and has more moving parts I’ll just be more specific and say this is better suited for shorter duration use cases.

I'm not too sure that A2W is ideal for a daily driven car, however it seems that it can be made to daily drive??? I agree for majority of turbocharged daily driven A2A is just fine.

this might be a better explanation, coupled with the K.I.S.S. principle

Woah! That manifold set-up is awesome. This is going on the MSP? Can't really see in the insta pic imo. The LIM reminds me of Racing Beats 'high-rise' manifold for early 13B's.

Very interested in where this is going.

Great to hear ! What have been the issues with the Renesis ? Obviously you have pulled it apart to fix/do something ?
