go look for a 20B from a mazda cosmo, its a three-rotor one, but it only comes with an auto box, a manual one off a 13b should bolt straight on, but you'd need to fabricate your own engine/transmission mounts.

20b would be nice. a TII 13b would be good as well. If you want to stay affordable for a good new rebuilt motor, look at a 13BT should run you 3000CND.

S5 Turbo II Motor?
Not sure what the hell that means, but one would imagine perhaps a rotary specialty shop (assuming the S5 is a rotary)
If you live in Canada? Try the Rotary Specialists in Calgary. But other then that I do not know?

Uhm, you could take the trip to Canada and see FDTT, from the sounds of it he's good, and it's not too expensive either.

Um JDM VS USDM TII motors are exactly the same with the exception of the Enfini cars.
Unless you have some money to be throwing around i suggest you put a 12A back in there.
PS the 12A is not the best to turbo, but can be done.

well they are mostly the same, but when i took apart my jspec s4 motor, the fuel rail was different.
the fuel rail is better designed imo, because the pulsation dampner has a different locationg

How does it really make a difference where the Pulsator is located?

because in the US spec location, the pulsation damper might leak and spill fuel on the exhaust manifold (very hot) and cause a fire.
if you smell gas underhood, thats the first thing you should check

The USDM and JDM engines are EXACTLY the same for TII's.
You may have had an S5 rail on a S4 engine.
I love seeing people say "ya its JDM, see no EGR there". LMAO, the hole JDM thing is a bit much now, especialy when i go to EBAY and see JDM parts for domestics.

Its not, could be either a mistake in the perseption of where it is of it may be a different fuel rail.
