The price is something that also causes me "concern." Breaking a set of $280 seals is, not ok but not tragic. If I lost a set of $1800 seals.... I would kill. Actually Kill.
From what I understand,
NRS lowered thier price to about $1,200 for a set of seals and springs
Ceramics give much better compression than steels before being broken in, but I haven't heard anything of what the comp is like after bedding the engine in. Actually, I got very similar results to the ceramics with the last engine I built - ~130psi.
When they do break, the just disintegrate leaving the housing in-tact.
I dunno, maybe I'll try them eventually, but not with this engine. I'm not looking for ridiculous amounts of power from a teeny tiny turbo cranked to 30psi and overheating the shit out of everything.
Meh, I'll talk to Dave when I'm there next.
