s4 turbo rotor housings into s4 na motor
What?? Is this a joke??
The only extra thing you will need to 2 good sized o-rings from a TII gasget kit to block off the 2 coolent ports in the housings that aren't on the NA housings. You can get the o-rings seperatly from mazda, they get squeezed between the LIM and the assembled bolck.

Anyway, other than that they are a perfect fit. As noted, they will be louder since you no longer have the baffles in the exhaust. This has a side benefit of making them infinitely easier to port, if you are so inclined.
That just seems like an accident waiting to happen. The proper way to do it is to permanently plug the holes. I know I saw some vendor that sold plugs for the holes.

Turbo rotor housings into a non turbo equals the ACV now being non functional, so if you drive in TX you have to take into consideration emissions testing.
In other words the secondary air passages from ACV to the exhaust port openings will now be blocked. Same effect if you'd gone from putting non turbo rotor housings into a Turbo engine.
Actually that can be overcome by just swapping the Front and Rear rotor housing positons. Front in rear and rear in front. See attached jpg. The attached jpg is a NON TURBO rotor housing jpgs. The TURBO housings have the secondary air passage in just the opposite positions from what is shown in the attached jpg. So it follows that you could just put the front housing where the rear goes and vice versa and then all would be *normal* as far as the air from the ACV going where it's supposed to go.
The water passages can be blocked off using freeze plugs. I saw an example of that on the Pineapple Racing site a week ago. He has a video on doing that.
