Mill rotors for 3mm carbon apex seals(remember to buy the right springs too)
FD oil regulators
Turbo oil pump
clearence rotors
lighten rotors
balance assembly
heavy duty clutch and P/P
Rx-8 stationary gears
deep groove rotor bearings

I made my own housings from a 6-port, works great.

if you're making a full peripheral engine (not semi in any way), then it doesn't matter what you start with as the side ports are all going to be blocked anyway.

kim gave you a good start with everything but the possible exception of the oil pump. if you have an SE engine, then you already have the best pump that the older motors can bolt on. the only upgrade may be to get a hardened pump.

if you care to, you might condsider either getting your rotors and shaft lightened, or use the S5 with carbon seals (or question the Renesis) rotating assembly.

The 13B i made is in my racecar.
If You plan on putting it in your streetcar I hope you have earplugs and lots of money for gas.

Seriously DON'T do it, they are not everyday, grocery getter, stop and go traffic friendly AT ALL.

lots of money. but just remember a Pport motor takes alot of custom frabrication its not just the motor. intake and exhaust must be completely made from scratch. the motor is the easy part.

A ordinary header will let the engine run, but not nearly good enough compared to a custom made header. P-ports hate full exhaust systems as well, so that is going to be a real challenge for a street car. Other things to consider is a transmission that will like shifting at 10k rpms, and a flywheel/clutch combo that wont explode at 10k rpms. A dogbox, with a 7.25 tilton, or even a 5.5 tilton clutch will fit the bill. If you ever need a nice custom built header, intake, or fully built p-port engine, let me know, we can build it for you.
