I get the sence your on a budget? Do yourself a favor and buy this rebuild video. Since your gonna only replace the damaged parts, this video will help you organize your existing parts because if you install certain side and corner seals in the wrong parts of the rotor, you will negatively effect your compression. Also at the very least, replace all of the apex seals on the good rotor as well. The original factory 3 piece DO NOT need to go back into your engine. They are a ticking time bomb because of there age.
http://www.rotaryaviation.com/overhaul_video.htm
Parts your probably gonna need another rotor. Try to find one the same weight as the damaged one. Rotor weight is on the gear side. Letters are from (A-F). If you can't find an Fd rotor housing, an Fc housing will work (but it has to be an S5 turbo II housing 1989-1991 not S4 1986-1988). On your damage rotor, some of your parts can transfer over to your new rotor if they aren't damaged. Example oil control o-rings w/springs, side seals (if you can find a slot they fit with proper clearence on the new rotor).
Engine o-ring kit like this one. http://compare.ebay.com/like/2904991...=263602_304662
That kit has everything you need to close the engine back up.
You can reuse the exhaust gaskets.
All the other paper gaskets, you can either buy new ones or buy gasket paper and cut your own. Cutting your own gasket works great if you cut them correctly (saves a lot of money).
New rubber o-ring for the front cover.
Lastly the video does more to help you with the rotary engine block of an FC. Internally basically they are all the same. When you get to the point that your pulling all the vacuum lines from under the intake (aka rats nest) you WILL break nipples if you don't do it the right way. Here's a tip for you. Use a razor blade to cut the line at the base of the nipple. Them you use a tiny flat head screw driver to twist in the cut section of the vacuum line. The line will pop off without you breaking the nipple. NEVER grab the vacuum lines and twist on any plastic nipple.

What year is the Fc engine? Do you have a camera to upload pics as you go? I don't mind helping as I can tell you don't have much support in your region. Also you can download the shop manual from this page.

Need a different angle to make sure you have the right engine. That alternator fits both engines (Na and turbo). Also you can never tell if that's really an S4 engine with a replaced S5 alternator. There are so many parts that are inter-changeable you have to make sure. Get a pic of the whole engine, spark plug area and exhaust side. I personally have never striped down a turbo II engine so the pic will help for another forum member to identify it's year.

There's more letters on the gear side of the rotor. Look for letters A-F.
Missing apex seal is probably in the turbos in a million pieces.
I forget what yr but Mazda re-designed the rats nest in the newer models. Not too many people on this forum with experience with those.
What yr is your car?
Get a camera! Pics will really help!
I would make sure you can get the engine back together 1st and running well before you start talking going single. Putting a hacked up engine together and going single isn't something you want to do.
