Stationary Gears
Hello Everyone , I am new to the forum my name is Gilbert & I live in Florida . How much of a diffrence is between a s5 and 3rd gen stationary gears beside the set screw that lock the bearing ? Hardening wise the reason I ask is because I am currently putting a 13bt S5 together and I find the 3rd gen to b better designed this motor in going to be all out racing, I really appreciate everyones opinion . Thanks in advance

FD stat gears are truly hardened.
The Kouki FC stat gear just have some kinda "ion" coating on them.
Yes, the FD set is better.
Plus, you get that nice 9-hole bearing...

Actually the shaft and gears are said to be stronger than the 3rd gen stuff, as the engine was structurally set up to run in excess of 10krpm. It doesnt have to do with being boosted or not. Renesis engines are not faring well with boost due to high compression and side exhaust ports, not the shaft/gears/bearings.
Now, does the FC need this stuff? Probably not...especially since the ecu limits rpm to 8100 or so in all but the s5 nonturbo. If you have or can get the FD oil system (except for the oil pump) pretty cheap to use in your FC, then go for it. IF you're faced with buying replacement FC eshaft/stat gears/bearings, ONLY then is it a reasonable idea to buy the rx-8 parts. Unless of course you are building some sort of track motor...

That being the case, here's what I would go with:
rx8 shaft, stat gears, bearings
FD front and rear oil pressure regulators
FC turbo oil pump (Fd one doesnt fit the front iron)
obviously clearanced, lightened, and dynamic balanced rotating assembly
Setup should be good for whatever you throw at it that way.
