3mm seals--

let's say you have a really super nice set of lightened, balanced rotors with the snap ring gear and oil mod in the bearing race, but your apex seal grooves are slightly v'd. THAT's when i'd recommend boring them out for 3mm seals. no sense in throwing away a $2500 set of rotors if they can be salvaged.

other than that, 3mm seals will tolerate slightly more detonation than 2mm's but let's face it, they'll still break. they might just give you that extra nano second to take your foot off the gas once or twice if you actually hear the detonation. but yea...they'll still break

I agree 3mm seals are more useful at higher boost levels, but use common sense here. At least in my case, they aren't retail 3mm seals, but have been grooved to different dimensions to fit according the wha the machinest did. Originally we were gonna use a beefier 2mm seal, but there was still clearance so we went with the 3mm seal. So, a beefier stronger seal, more detonation resisitant, better for higher boost...a waste???

is there any recordings of detonation or pinging i can listen to? i've heard different descriptions, and am having hard time imagining it.

guitar, sorry i don't use im. pm me ur phone # if you got some time.

thanks!

go bang a hammer onto some metal.. that's what it sounds like but duller and way quicker.. very fast.

don't worry, i'm working on the low-comp rotors. but they'll probably work better for the 4-port engines... 8.5's aren't gonna be happy at 8k+ rpm for very long.
