NRS Ceramic Apex Seals (1-Piece, OEM Height)
Received these today for my 2010 Turbo Build which I'll be posting a thread about soon.
1-Piece, OEM Height Ceramic, no machining of rotors necessary...
Enjoy.

Richie,
I am very curious to see how well the machining and tolerances are on these seals. Could you do us a favor and post a pic like this ? That is a ground parallel underneath.

i almost bought NRS ceramic seals, but it was really expensive, and i had to mill it deeper to fit it in.
i decided to get RA superseals instead and deepened the rotor....
my new engine now is with KDR in PA, being worked on, ported with RA superseals..
i will use it with my turbo set up....
btw, what are you going to use this set up for? is it going to be for FI or stock?

i personally dont see how a nonpurpose built car could justify the huge expense at the risk of still replacing ALL the same parts next time you go pop

i did not try to imply any opinion of my own towards the seals, just saying.
that said, IMO they still are a waste for 99%+ of the types of builds/rebuilds i have seen here. but take it for a grain of salt since there's no reason for me to have a respected voice on the matter

Thx!
at least 220whp ...or if all goes as planned 400+whp on pump gas and 500-700whp on C16/Q16 or VP Import gas and NGK-R6725-115 plugs. I'm currently looking for a custom UIM to bolt to my 90mm throttle body, not using the drive-by-wire. Other than the one that is under development by BHR I haven't had any luck finding someone who has made one (besides ChrisRX8PR), Hogan's Manifolds said they'd build me one of their custom sheet metal aluminum manifolds for $2,200...I'm contemplating it at the moment...
