I know that N/A Motors have the Exhaust Insert in the housings and the center housing has some very lame ports on it with no room to open them up, But the 6 ports are offer much more timming that a Turbo or any other product 13B, So wouldn't it be a hot tip to swap 6 port front and rear housings into a Turbo motor? Or vis versa?
You would have the larger Turbo center housing ports with the larger and additional port timming from the 6 port motors plus the elimination of the exhaust inserts.

what about running just the turbo intermediate housing? I'm rebuilding my 6 port this week most likely, and I plan on doing a street port, but it looks like the intermediate housing has small ports and water jackets real close, are the turbo intermediate housings interchangeable? if so, got a good one you wanna sell me?

Hrm, that sounds like a good idea. Are the turbo housings compatible with my header and 6 port side housings? Will anything need to be modified or plugged?
I just checked with mazdatrix and the 86-88 turbo intermediate housing is $342.46,
and 86-88 turbo rotor housings are $462.49 for each. Kindof expensive, anyone know where I can get these cheaper?

But the Intermediate housings on a 6 port have VERY small ports.
Here's a good picture:
The 6 ports in the end housings I would keep as they offer additional port timing.

alot of people run turbo rotor housings because of the bigger ports and no stupid sleeves
YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME ARN"T YOU!?
I was kicking about the idea of going with a standard 4 port 13B and carbing it to see what kinda power could be squeezed out myself.
