Question stationary gear HELP

ok,so i decided to use the rx8 stationary gears on my big port s4 t2.my question is,since the rx8 stationary gears use the FD thrust bearings.do i need to buy them?because im using the 8.5:1 s4 rotors/counter weight.would it make a difference to use the s4 thrust bearings?or do i have to buy the FD thrust bearings?

Thumbs up You'll need to purchase the FD front assembly

I have run a similar setup using high compression rotors with Turbo II outer cast irons and a 12A center cast iron. The front/rear stationary gears were from a 1993 engine I had in my garage. It will work you just have to use the entire front assembly.

Good Luck
