Which rotor housing is this?
Anybody knows which housing is this from the picture? The one on left is a S5 turbo. The one on the right is a turbo also but what series is this. I have never seen this before. Look at the difference by looking at the arrows. There is a different shape above the trailing spark plug.
Maybe some of you engine builders can tell me.

It's definately a turbo housing. All the S5 housings I have seen look like the one on the left in the original pictures.
Here is a pic from the exhaust side.
I am lost with this one..

it's not an 13b-re, i checked my friends motor last night. haven't seen a 74-78 housing in a long time, but there's a 10a over in the back of a shop i used to work at. measure the distance between the spark plugs holes, measure on the bottom of the top lip and top of the bottom lip, on the outside( where T and L are ) on the VERY outside edge. if it's 28mm, it's s5+ all other 13b's PRE-1989 were less then that like 24mm(?). like i said it could be a recast of an s5 turbo housing.

there is a weird hybrid S4.5 engine, n340, i can't recall what the difference is, but its like s4 with the electric metering pump or something?

This is too funny. This housing has been sitting for over two years and last week was when I actually noticed it didn't look like the S5 housing inside my car.
I put it up here figureing you guys will tell me what it is. And you guys haven't seen one like it either.
It has to be some kind of JDM that's the only way I see it, but what series.
This is weird.
