So I made a phone call today....

...and Tom Bush Mazda, here in Jacksonville, FL, can get Renesis rotors for $460 each.


These come complete with corner seals, apex seals, side seals, and bearings, and of course, the SPECTABULOUS 10.0:1 compression ratio rotors.



So I'm thinking, I can find streetported 12A sideplates for nothing, and ported TII housings for next to nothing... add an e-shaft, and a gasket set, and an undecided intake system, and do I have a nearly untouchable street monster?


What mods if any, would I need to do to make this work?

I've never heard of mazda selling "loaded" rotors. Sounds like you need to talk to a few more salesmen to corraborate that story.

Mazdatrix didn't find any improvement when using Renesis rotors in thier S5 N/A motors last I checked.
Might look into it before you buy them, otherwise a used S5 rotors work well.

12a's and TII's have the coolant ring in the opposite parts of the stack.
