IM BUILDING MY MOTOR FOR BOOST RIGHT NOW AND I HEARD ABOUT TOTAL SEAL GAPLESS RINGS, EITHER THE TOP OR SECOND RING CAN BE GAPLESS NOT BOTH....I KNOW YOU GET O LEAKDOWN WHICH WOULD BE GOOD ON A BOOSTED SETUP...I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANY1 HAS EVER USED THEM B4???
THANKS
BTW I HAVE B&R VENTALATION KIT

 

bump for you, i would like to know as well.

 

I used to use them in my super charged D16, they never gave me any issues. It lasted 5 years before I cracked a cylinder wall. <---back in the day before decent Honda tuning

 

I'd like to know also, building a nitrous b20 right now and shopping for rings.

 

here's a dumb question... how do you get gapless rings onto the pistons?

 

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DUMB IDEA. WHY AM I YELLING

 

how is this a dumb idea???do u like to leak compression and blow oil with ur boosted motor???anyway im doin it my machine shop recomends it for the hp goal im tryin to achieve..only thing is u must run a ventalation setup such as t1 or b&r vlve cover/block breather...if u dont u will have to much crank case pressure and blow the pan gasket.....

 

Omg dude, please invest into your education instead of your car.

 

You need gaps in the piston rings. If you don't have gaps in them particularly with a boosted high Hp setup what happen is the rings expand and end up galling into the cylinder walls and causes some serious damage to the pistons and sleeves. This is why on all motor applications you can run tighter piston rings vs a boosted application a looser ring gap.

 

they work by using 2 overlapping rings. check the website. i don't think anybody uses them on hondas.
