differences between S4 and S5?
i was looking at numbers for the S4 and S5 RX-7's and i noticed that the S5 makes more horsepower and torque at lower RPMs.. how exactly do they make that extra power? i read something about VDI, but i thought that VDI kicked in at higher RPMs, but the S5 makes more power at low RPMS, so that doesnt seem like thats what it is. so what creates that extra power?

I believe someone has done this and Yes I think it is quite possible. I would either wait for confromation cause I already have an S5 and have no need to do that; or go look through the results of a search. I do remember someone posting this maybe a week ago, give or take. Good luck. And the blocks with boost? I don't know if that is completely right. I think a well tuned car can take as much boost as any other well tuned car. So I am thinking blocks woldn't matter. However I can't spell right today so I wouldn't expect anyone to think I know anything about a turbo cause mainly I don't have one. It's the way to be if it's turbo free.

Series 4 rotor can handle more boost because they are a lower compression ratio, therefore with the same octane fuel you can run more boost in a motor with series 4 rotors than you can in a motor with series 5 ones.
