RA seals are running in over 1800 rotary engines, including some very demanding racing applications.

We're starting a library of cars using our seals and other RA engine parts.  If you'd like your photo to be included, email photos to laura@rotaryaviation.com

These unusual rotary powered car  photos are provided by Shorty's Racing.  The car is a Toyota Starlet 1982. Shorty is from Puerto Rico, where they like to make imports cars fly!! He put a 13b gtu 1991 rotary engine in, and makes his  own motors This one is a peripheral turbo, currently  fuel injection (electromotive tec3r), with a turbo II transmission;  ACT clutch and 9 in Ford rear end with 35 spine axles. His best horse power is 398.6 at 16psi boost. Shorty and his race team plan to make other modifications like a new in take, bigger back housing on turbo (from .96 to 1.15 ar) and new exhaust pipe from 3" to 4". They are hoping to touch 500hp to 550hp at only 20psi or a max of 24 psi boost.
The car above belongs to Bryce & Ken Miller of Australia.  Here are the details…. The car is a 1974 Mazda RX3 using a JC Cosmo 13B block built by Dyson Rotary here in Australia, It uses 2mm RA seals with standard Mazda springs,  The car is boosted by a Mr Turbo Billet 80mm Turbo & runs 28psi of boost, The car has run a best ET of 8.82@151mph using 26 x 8.5 x 15 Slicks on Leaf springs & no coil-overs, It does not have any rear chassis mods. We use a G-Force 4-speed transmission & Sunoco Racing Fuel.  Next step for the car is to start using the Nitrous.
The four photos (above) are of Sgt. Daniel Beighley's car, running RA seals and o ring kits.  Daniel is stationed in Japan but is returning to the US in the next few months and is dismantling this beautiful car for shipment to the US.  Dan shows and races his RX-7 as often as his schedule allows. 
8/15/05: Jimmy's Lopez is using "RA" apex seals in his 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, running a supercharged 2 rotor engine.  He is still in the "experimenting" stage with this new combination They only had a burnout before having an electrical problem, but still managed to see the power as it moved this 2700 lb truck.  Jimmy will keep us posted after they make a full pass.
