Hi,I am planning on rebuild my s4 87 13b.Would it be better to swap to an s5 NA engine than to rebuild my s4 with s5 TII housings,and s5 na rotors?What will the advantages be for swapping to an s5 na motor?Also,where can I get premade Block off plates?And what the hell do all the abbreviations for block off plates mean?Like egr,uim,lim,etc?I checked the FAQ and it doesnt have those abbreviations.Thanks in advance!!

Cross-series swaps are a major pain in the butt. Stick with your S4 stuff.

Any vendor (ie. Mazdatrix). Or just make them yourself.

EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation
UIM = Upper Intake Manifold
LIM = Lower Intake Manifold

Alright thanks alot!Is it worth porting the intake and exhaust ports or is there not enough meat in the ports to gain enough horsepower??
