These will not work with a Renesis Rx8 engine.
One of our competitors offers their 2mm apex seals with the springs, do not be fooled, their springs are not stock, they come in a big roll, and they clip them off to size, they are not even heat treated. We only use the stock Mazda apex seal springs, these are the only ones that should be used, some companies would sell you there home-made springs(not much more than extra sturdy chicken wire) as usable and offer the stock springs as "Race Springs" and charge an arm and a leg for them, however these so called race springs are simply OEM Mazda and can be found here.
All of our apex seals are heat treated. The material for these seals has been developed by David Atkins over his extensive racing career in order to exceed stock apex seal life and durability. We have customers running 7 second quarter mile times with these seals. Customers use them in a wide variety of applications including turbo, NOS, superchargers, and naturally aspirated applications.
Detonation will ruin any apex seal, none are immune from this problem. Some apex seals will bend under detonation, and become useless, due to lack of compression, these may break but they will do so inside of the rotor and save your housings. The benefit of these is that they can takes much more abuse before breaking than other seals can before bending.
Please choose 6 apex seals for a 13B engine, or 9 for a 20B application. |
