Well i just got everything off my engine and its on a stand now. After school im going to finally be removing the tension rods and see whats going on inside. (side note, I bought this engine blown without knowing ). I just wanted know to if someone had the specs for everything so once its apart i can see what I can reuse. Im going to be using a full rotary avativion kit with RA super seals and porting templates for intake and exhaust. This engine is going to be a mix match of S4 and S5 parts because I have a S4 harness and ecu. and Going to shoot for a reliable 330-350rwhp. Does anyone have any experience with porting templates like racing beat or any others? I have done porting before on atvs and was very good at it surprisingly. And does everyone feel that a full rotary avation kit with RA super seals will be good? I was going to go with a Atkins master kit but realized RA is slightly cheaper and seems like better seals. Any input on specs,porting,and rebuild kits will be helpful. Thanks, Nick
Also going with a BNR turbo.

 

Also I need to know the order in which to remove the tension rods. I know to number them so they will go in the same spot i just forgot the order.

 

Look in the FSM. It has all those specs.

EDIT: Might want to just go with Mazda OEM seals...

 

id like to know who has the better porting template also?

 

OEM is alittle too expensive and what exactly is the FSM? If im not mistaken is that just the haynes manual? And which porting templates are the best for my needs(streetable port). Thanks for the help I have gotten I just feel I need more input. Come on guys wheres the rx-7 pros at?

 

Factory service manual. It seems like you may be new to these motors. Are you sure you're ready to port it yourself? If you **** up the housings that's going to be quite a pretty penny to shell out...

Im not really new to 13b's, my dad has rebuilt one before and I learned alittle from him. Iv'e done rebuilds to ATV's(i know that doesn't matter much but its still something) Im not afriad about rebuilding i know its the finer details that people mess up. I have plenty of crappy housings and irons that i can practice on before porting my own. (i know these cost a pretty penny) Like I said im not afriad to rebuild, I feel I can do a pretty damn good job if i take my time. Im just looking for alittle guidance about porting templates and a few other things. I know i really shouldnt be trying to go all the way and build a turbo motor for my first rebuild but Im willing to try anyways. Plus with my dad by my side(who has done a lot of various rebuilds on his own before) then I shouldnt have a problem. Hell i know theres been teens on these forums who has done it before.

 

Also SPOT_SKATER I see your from NY, are you on the island or in the city?
