I am now marketing a new oil additive, TX-7. Its is an exclusive metal-treating formula and oil fortifier that bonds to surface contact points of metal components, reducing engine friction dramatically, diminishing engine drag and lowering operating temperatures. We have been using it in the shop for years with great success on a wide variety of street and race applications. Using it on my own rx7s I have noticed an instantly smoother idle, verifed on a haltech ems. I have yet to prove it, but I am convinced there is a reduction in turbo lag and a slight increase in hp. The engines we have torn down that have used this treatment also show considerably less wear, and combined with the performance coatings I offer, I have not even been able to measure any wear in engine bearings.



I am sending a bottle to BDC in the morning to see what he thinks. Hopefully he can give you guys some feedback. I know its hard for anyone to believe that there is a " snake oil" that actually works...



Price is still to be determined, but its not going to be cheap.

Is this similar to Energy Release? I have been adding it to all of my oil changes after seeing a couple of teardowns when it was used. It was amazing. PLus it's safe for the rotary. Any comparision to this? www.energyrelease.com

You said you've used it in your shop for years, but are there any long term tests/comparisons in a rotary to see how it is with seals? Who manufactures it and has it been tested independently?
