Well my guy doing the 1/2 bridge on my motor just found out its an s4 motor. I went downstairs and weighed my rotors, sure enough 10.5#s. So I paid $1300 for a blown up ******* s4 peice of **** motor, that was suppose to be a fresh s5 motor. It did come with all s5 externals, and 1 busted rotor, 2 busted housings. Sweet! Hopefully he can find some s5 side irons.. S4 irons like to break around 400rwhp.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

It had a bnr stage 3, s5 hyrbid/s5 exahust manifold

Ranzo 02-12-2004 06:45 PM

Is there really a differnce in s4 and s5 irons...........I cant see any difference.



The port size is the same........are S5 thicker around the oil filler or something? Just wondering cuz I recentley blew a S4 around the dowel pin on the rear.

s5 irons are reinforced on the rear iron around the dowel pin near the oil pedestal. Front iron is also reinforced.

teknics 02-12-2004 06:55 PM

no i mean stock turbos on the s4 and s5 were what? cause i have a turbo from my engine that was stock and would help me figure out what engine i have./

Stock turbos on ALL FC's were Hitachi HT182S-S.



Only thing that changed with the S5's were a different exhaust housing.

That is all.

TheCamel 02-12-2004 09:41 PM

Nah I already sold Revvin a set of housings, he got a pretty good deal, now if he needs a motor, he has first dibs.

1Revvin7 02-12-2004 09:56 PM

If you need anything let me know. I may be able to convince my mechanic to make another engine cradle. He has a jig based on mine.



Let me know if you want one and I'll twist his arm to make another.

1Revvin7 02-13-2004 01:09 AM

Well I lucked out; My irons are s5 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png My home scale must just be off with weight of the rotors. And to think I almost pieced together an FD motor https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The primary port (on the combustion chamber side) is smaller on a Kouki - it opens 10-degrees later, but that really doesn't matter if you're going to port the housings. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



The Kouki side housings have significantly larger ports (on the manifold side) it's like 1/8" wider.



The Kouki stat gears are hardened, so that's a big plus for strength.
