Building a 13B for turbo application

My car runs great. The 13BT in there has 30k from a Mazda reman that the last owner did on it.

However I'd like to learn how to rebuild/build my own 13B, with low compression rotors so that my upcoming T04 project will have a proper home. This will be a side project that I can work on to futher my knowledge of rotaries. They say there's no better way to learn then by firsthand experience.

Can a knowledgable person please list of the parts I will need to build a full 13B block? I'm dreaming of something close to 8.5:1 compression.

Thanks!

Check out Mazdatrix, they can help you out with all the parts listings...

BTW, JDM FC blocks come in both Zenki and Kouki flavors.&nbsp The Zenki ones are 8.5:1, but the Kouki ones are 9.0:1.

Not necessarily...the Zenki FC turbo rotors are stronger, and if the person is going to run high boost (over 25psi), it's recommended to run the Zenki turbo rotors.
