There were no N/A FD's made from the factory, and i've gotten into these arguments many times too. Some people just dont know, and feel the need to argue against someone who does know.
however,
someone felt the need to have a peri port 13B FD, so someone made one

You could also go this route But as everyone has said they(FD's) were all TT from the factory.

I guess because pretty much every other turbo car is available non-turbo - the Z, 3000GT, Supra, Eclipse, you name it. The FD is kind of unique in that respect.
Yeah, I've been in countless dumb-guy arguments on that one. "Yeah, my brother in law has one of those RX-7s. It's a '97 non-turbo, front wheel drive". Sure, buddy.

there are higher comp rotors (9.7 to one) in the S5 N/As. You cannot get 'larger rotors.' The indentation on the rotor face is less pronounced, I believe.

The difference between the two is that the 26B, you have to buy straight from mazda for, IIRC, somewhere around 100K. And it also uses 3 spark plugs per rotor, 1 leading, 2 trailing. Of course there are many more differences between the 26B and a hybrid, but i'm not sure of all of them though. Maybe someone more knowledgable then can chime in.
