Well on mazdatrix's webpage, there are two seperate part numbers for the housings between s4/s5.
Maybe the only difference is the port air locations or something?

Spark plug timing locations are different too. Don't mix and match.

You can use 2 s4 housings, or 2 s5 housings in either s4 or s5 assembly. No mixing and matching, though, since the spark plug locations are different. Just as long as you use 2 of the same you're fine.
