Turbo 2 Housings on a 6 port?

So I just bought a set of turbo 2 housings and im wondering if they will first, work with my 6port housing ends, and second if id need to get the turbo 2 housing ends to be able to bridge port them. Im not super understanding of the whole 6 port thing, that's why Im asking.

Thanks for any help.

The irons are what contain the intake ports. The housings have the exhaust ports, and house the rotors. You can use TII housings for an NA build. The main differences will be lack of diffusers in the exhaust ports and the open coolant passages (NAs have freeze plugs).

You can get familiar with the parts of a rotary with this rebuild video: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/video-13b-rotary-engine-rebuild-946068/

And to add to that, don't consider a bridge port until you've worked out the basics. You can bridge both 4 and 6 port irons regardless of the housings, but doing so also means you need to upgrade a lot more to make the bridgeport work properly.
