Some og you might already heard? A local vendor will soon be making upgraded apex seals able to with stand 500hp! I have been told someone else and I will be thw first to puchase these. I will soon psoty pics of the seals and the feedback on the purchase. Thanks fellow rotar head

 

there are a fe companies that make seals that are proven.

I would stick with one of them in place of some one new.

So suay - do actually intend to push for 500 whp ?

 

I will tell you this. I went with out pinning the motor with not enough dowl pins and the result was ugly! I will put no more than 16 psi as i first intended, with scotts beatiful kit! 400 hundred ill be fine (all the time). The seals will be made in conjunction with rotary aviation (hint).


Thanks

 

You getting port work done like the Renesis motors used in airplanes?

 

Hey, someone has to be on the bleeding edge. Otherwise, we wouldn't get any new toys.

 

So, these are either the doc's ceramic ones, or are these the ones that Chris hinted about??

 

Why? If you cant push more than 300-400 anyway? You'll have alot more than apex seals to worry about before your ready for that type of thing...

 

uhhh...read under my nickname....

:D

3mm seals?

 

update: These seals will be coming outthis week!!i willl show picks and show video when the build is done. I will say this the local vender can put down some serious power and prove it. Hopefullly I will be the first to do this.


THanks guys for your support!!

 

there are a LOT of internal things that can be done to this engine--hope your builder is looking to perfectly balanced rotors and lighting the oil pump system among a lot of other things?

That is great! Is it breakable or un-breakable? What material is it made from? Could it be ceramic, ductile iron or unobtanium? Would be nice if you could find out and if the vendor is willing to share that info to back up his claim.

 

side seals are much more important on this engine--thats were the work needs to be done.
