Apex seals for a boosted renesis
Forgive my poor forum searching skills if there is a similar topic.
What apex seals to run in a boosted renesis ? Every single aftermarket seal is boasted and advertised as the best thing since sliced bread. Every single seal is used by Jesus himself and some even by hindu gods too.
I don't care if the same seals/materials used are perfect in older rotaries, we don't have peripheral exhaust ports to heat up apex seals, and we have the shortest apex seals ever. Don't ask me to cut my rotors deeper, don't have such a machine shop available.
I don't care if that apex took 40psi of boost while running 120 octane on the drag strip. I don't drag and I don't have the budget or willingness to rebuild every time my turbo spools.
I am not asking for them to last longer than in a 4 port 4 speed auto driven to the mall to get groceries, but not willing to buy new housings and seals every 5000 miles.
Given that I can snap an OEM seal with my hands, I'd be dying to try out all aftermarket seals the same way. Or you know, dump your own experience here.
