J-Spec 13BT with FD rotors...
Its my understanding (or misunderstanding) that the FD rotors are lighter and slightly lower compression (9.0:1 vs 9.1:1). I'm in the planning stages (well actually collecting all the parts) of building a turbo motor for my GXL. I recently purchased a J-Spec FD motor which will be going in my FD, so I have some FD parts lying around.
I would put the FD motor in the FC but dont feel like tapping holes in the housings to match the motor mounts and I believe I'd have to modify the oil pan as well.
So basically my thought is to use the FD rotors in the J-Spec TII motor to run higher boost and use an FD transmission. Does this sound reasonable or is it a waste of time.

All 89 - 91 FC turbo...
93+ FD...
All Cosmo 13B and 20B turbo...
...use 9.0:1 compression ratio rotors with identical weights.
The castings have subtle differences, but it's the CR and weights that make the most difference to keep the engine from shaking itself to pieces.

I wouldn't use FD rotors, period.
FD rotors dent under detonation.
If you're going to be running high boost, I'd even drop down to a Zenki S4 FC turbo rotors @ 8.5:1, slightly heavier, and stronger - i.e. resists detonation better.
No reason to run FD rotors over the S5 FC turbo rotors though.
