I bought a JDM S5 13BT, and it showed up with the apex seals ground into the rotor housings. So I salvage what I can from the wreak, And start building a new one.
So I buy a set of cermet B coated Rotor housings from JHB performance, Get some porting templates from racingbeat, And street port the housings. Then I cut cooling grooves in the housings water jacket, on and around the "hot spots".. [attachment=45558:Watermod1.JPG] [attachment=45560:Polished_rotors.JPG] Both the rotors were toast. So I bought two S6 Rotors. Then polished them up. Then I street ported the irons, And sent them off to racingbeat to get them lapped. I also sent the whole rotating assembly to racingbeat to have balanced.. I also ported the oil pathways at the oil pump while I has it apart.

All right. I put the 13BT together with a mazda OEM rebuild kit, But I used 93+ side seal springs, side seals and corner seal springs. I also traded out the stock oil control rings springs with some Mazda Factory Race springs.
He is a pic of the stack being put together, and a pic of the engine getting ready to be droped in... [attachment=45564:Stack1.JPG] [attachment=45565:dropin333.JPG] I scored this OS Giken clutch and flywheel from the blown JDM! [attachment=45566:Dropinclutch.JPG] |

I mounted the engine up, and used some cheap ebay turbo piping for plumbing... At first I vented the the wastgate outside, But it was way to loud. So I welded up a new downpipe for it..
[attachment=45568:newengine.JPG] [attachment=45569:Downpipe.JPG] Now that I have it put to gether and running, working out the bugs is going to be the hardest part.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif |
