mixing s4 s5 t2 rotors? motor gurus input plz

i have abig problem. I dont realy have a matching pair. I have one s5 t2 jspec rotor excellent condition useable, a pair s4 t2 rotors from Himeh[but only one is useable]I thought iwas just guna use the pair of Himehs rotors but only one rotor is useable..., and I have another pair of s4 t2 rotors that are both not useable because the corner seal grooves and side seal grooves bent....
****... is it okay to use a s4 t2 rotor in the rear housing? and a s5 t2 rotor jspec in the front and the housings is s4 t2....The ecu is s5 t2 as well as the harness but all the iron plates are s5 t2 jspec... WILL THIS SETUP WORK?? would it be okay if isent my rotating assembly to get it balanced..

The original setup was a "C' and "D" stamped t2 rotors s5 jspec with everything s5 jspec. t2. but i blew the rear rotor and housing, and sold the good front housing..
So now Imstuck witha good pair of s4 t2 housings..a good s5 t2 rotor, and a good s4 t2 rotor... should i just be patient and keep looking until i find a legitmit pair?or say **** it and put it to
gether.. has anyone tried building amotor with mismatching rotors or series? what happend??Someone told me u can use NA rotors in a t2 engine high compression but run low boost... Ican finsih the motor right away but it will have mismatching rotors, and maybe itll cause vibrations? Even if i get a pair of rotors, its not guna be balanced with the rest of the rotating assembly...[counterweight, flywheel]


inputs...need help..
this is streesful man.. damn...plus im low on funds...damn.. so hard when you dont have the monies...

HELL NO!

They are different compression ratios.

Don't use NA rotors. If you had to ask the first question then making a high comp turbo motor is way out of your league.

Not only are they different compression ratios, more importantly they're different weights, which will kill the engine.
