really sidestep huh? whatever you think pal.. Help me huh? You needed a turbo fast no one else could get it for you and you called me? I got it in a couple of days. You needed other parts you called me.. You needed tech support and called me while I was in europe and I still took the call and helped you... How were you helping me again?
You just like to talk alot of ****.. And coming from your line of work I guess it's appropriate.
I was willing to help your sorry *** boy did I make a bad judgement call on that huh....
Do I really need to have details? I've done enough.. Most people already know your clueless so my job is done.. People finally start to realize who you are and what type of person you are so I can finally stop. No need to post anymore im done..
One 8 sec pass? Dude get out more..
I made 7 back to back. . Problem is your never at a racetrack so you wouldn't know...
My car has probably close to 15 eight second passes total...
Yes 50 passes or more last year.. You don't go to a race track often so you wouldn't know...
Real racers don't need to race dyno sheets.. We race cars at that track...
Try it sometime...

Tech support? What hell would I need tech support from you? Your so full of **** too. Everyone knows you never backed the pass up and that's why you gave up. At races???!!! Really? Tell me one event you qualified for! Just one. Track rentals don't count sweetheart. It's you who made yourself look like a jackass shop owner obsessed with little ole me when you should be more concerned with customer cars. You won't post the dyno sheet cause ya got nothin for me. Man up, put a "yard" motor in your car, since we all know you have a damn clue how to build a rotary, and come out to an actual race not a track rental. Peace little boy

just off the top of my head.. and there's plenty more just because i don't have video's of it doesn't mean it didn't happen...
8.60, 8.63, 8.65, 8.67, 8.75, 8.80, 8.85
You don't remember you and ray struggling to get the CDI to work? bad memory huh...
Yeah I'm full of ****..
I've said enough and now this is just a waste of time...
You were right. Steel seals don't work..
Carry on...

Nyce1s was at etown that day maybe he will chime in and post the videos of each pass I know he has them plus there were how many spectators that day in the stands when you "qualified" actually made it to the finals I believe. Ernie only knows about the events against the 12 sec cars what does he know, and he has trouble beating them too running consistent 14s with a 9 sec car has to cry to /beg/pay Ray to come to the track to rescue him before he gets embarassed as usual lol.

No embarrassment Kojak. I forgot that I ran countless 7 sec runs too, but I can't find any proof lol. And dont be sore cause your red sled is slower then my car. Go back to the junkyard with your brother and put your piece of **** back together before you talk ****. Enzo, you shouldn't even be on this forum. It's for people that have a rotary. Go to some piston forum and spew your bs.

You must be smoking some of that good stuff again! Lmao ..same time you ran a 9.78 I ran a 9.79 winning the nscra event against 9 sec cars not a track rental, lmao.... First time out this yr I posted 3 back to back 9.5x runs @ 146mph. Winning my street class BUT was also the fastest then anyone in the Pro class! So again don't hate cause your lawyer wallet and ***** are smaller then mine

I dont understand how some people are having trouble with the RA super seals. I have seen in person my friends housings that had well over 10k miles with black super seals look perfect when he tore down to go from race port to full bridge. Then again he is religious about putting 1oz/gallon of premix every time he fills up. When an engine comes in with scored housings when people tear down, theres so many factors that could have caused the housings that its not fair to always blame the seals. Poor engine building and failure to check and correct tolerances on that hard of a seal would also eat/chatter the **** of housings which seems to be a re-occuring theme by newbies in the rotary world. Im going to RA super seals and will keep the thread updated as my mileage goes up and will take pictures next rebuild (I drive a rotary how it was designed to be so ill be happy with 20-30k miles between rebuilds.)
Can we please stop the **** show on this thread and keep on topic? Its obvious that ErnieT is biased towards rx seals because they are working for him/ possible supporting sponsors obligations. Just let it go and stop acting like a child stirring OT **** in the thread.

This is some funny **** boys.... I am seriously laughing here.....
Why dont you guys just set a grudge race date?
Get down or lay down!!!
We can all put some money down on your pick.
Only way its ever going to end.
Set a date and a price!

1) How do the rxstore seals compare with Goopy and ALS?
2) It's often mentioned that steel seals are not suitable for high rpm such as this (10,500rpm). Perhaps it's a drag car and longevity is not a concern?

2.) The main thing heard alot about steel seals is they are not good for high rpm vs. ceramics. This is true to some degree as ceramics have almost no wear on the housings at high rpm. the steel seals have more friction so they will wear the housings faster but wont shatter and ruin everything when they see detonation. I will be tuning my half bridge car on RA super seals to 10,000 rpm's, but will try to always shift between 9-9.5k. they will wear the housings more than if I went with ceramics but its worth the extra durability as ceramics are not a good solution for forced induction as they shatter when they see almost no detonation.

Attention Enzo & Ernie... Maybe you guys didn't get the memo
Hopefully we all can move pass our differences and work together (like the old days) to get this little engine to do more incredible things than what's being done now.
Good luck Ernie. I'm glad we put all the foolishness behind us and we can face each other at the track without issues. Now I gotta work on mending things up with some of the west coast guys because the NY'ers are going to SevenStock this year!!!! I'm bringing Roan just incase one of those guys beat me up for my big mouth

Sorry, RxParts.
1) Still would like some detailed info on how RxParts compare with Goopy and ALS.
2) Also on the long-term wear characteristics of 2mm steels seals revving at close to 10K rpm.

Just went through the whole thread and lol @ the ernieT video.
Everyone seems to think the ceramics will shatter and catastrophic engine failure follows. Um, when I detonated my motor with audible detonation at the DGRR 2009 due to faulty fuel pump wiring causing 14 AFR @ 16 PSi WOT with no AI, I had assumed the engine had blown but it was fine. Later that season when I tore down the motor to replace the seals with 2 piece ceramics (had 1 piece in there) I found a single seal that had snapped cleanly in half with no damage to anything (or wear for that matter). I had been running the whole season on an engine that had a broken ceramic seal and still setting lap times with what I assumed was a perfect engine.
Anyway current engine sees constant 20+ psi for sustained 20-30 minutes session on the track. I have occasionally let my water run dry with no ill affects. The motor has also seen occasionally 29 PSi when my wastegate wasn't opening all the way. I had increased my fuel cut so that it wouldn't hit it which allowed it to boost that high (I'm at the point where I don't care about the motor again as I want something new). This is on pump gas with water. I have over 50,000 km on this motor since I've been using ceramic seals and the switch to 2 piece was @ 30,000 km or so with TON's of track time.
Only reason I'm posting is because it seems everyone is dismissing the ceramic seals on a turbo rotary. I, on the other hand won't use anything else in my engines as they seem to take a hella lot more punishment then regular seals and maintain compression as they don't wear the housings.
As for RA Super Seal experiences. I have rebuilt 2 motors so far with them without issues. Of course only time will tell for these but so far I'm happy with the motor that has over 3,000 Km's on it with my old 500R-SP and pulls exceptional vacuum for a streetport. I have configured the PFC to inject more oil then I normally do when I tuned it though.
On a side note, while I realize drag motors are pushed to the bleeding limit of what the engine can do, its always funny hearing they last for X passes. Makes me think they're saying "I have a car that runs for a few minutes before it needs a rebuild".

i say take the beef to the track. id even pay to see it happen but all in fun
On a side note i have been using ra classic seals for many many years and just about everyone in my town uses them also. We all have really good luck with them and never have had any issues. I have not tried the super seals (have no need to) as i have tested the RA classics on a high boost 6 port motor (20psi on only pump) i built back in the day and leaned it out to test the seals. With audible knocking it held strong so i have never had the need to try the super seals. I have ran 29 psi max on my current car on pump and H2o injection and runs great.
