One thing we did want to avoid was where the Apex seals go the other makers have had the slots "Bellmouth" after a short time but we don\'t have that problem due to the Titanium inserts.

Do I even dare ask how much a pair would be?

No price yet but it has cost alot to do so far.

i mind you talking about the corners belling out on the rotors and you putting titanium ones in, would be very interested just to see how you get on!

Not sure what you mean but it is clear from photo\'s of the ones that have run in the states that the apex seal slots have started opening up after only a few hundred miles whereas our\'s above which have done alot more miles have no issues whatsover in that regard.
I ran the above rotor at 1.25 bar on full bridgeport, GT40/94 turbo with our apex seals for 1500 miles.

Here is a pic of what I mean re Bellmouthing after 600 miles with just ally being used on a rotor from the States.

The issue comes from the slots carrying a moving part which both wears and rocks in the apex seal slots.

Carl, when testing have you found any issues with varied expansion/flexing of the two different metals?

No we haven\'t thus far and we researched it alot before going ahead with this.

Hopefully you can see from the pics that the top of the slot is more open that lower down.

yea i mind you talking about this, about your titanium corners, would be very interested to see and hear a car with these in once all the r&d is over with!

L18M

what about a billet e shaft?
wouldnt you need to get the shaft and both rotors dynamically balanced to achieve over 10k rpm? (or higher rpm may it be 10k rpm - 15k/ 16k+ rpm etc?)

How is the Ti stuck on? (or is it trade secret?) any risk of them coming off the rotor?

good work and shiney :)
2 doritos on a stick woohoo :rollin

Well I did drive a car with them to rotorstock a while back in 2009

It\'s not stuck on it is mechanically held in place.Took us a while to nut it out.
