danger Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Looking at my 13b in the 7 I'm not sure what housings have been used in the build. Just curious really. Doesnt have the italic MAZDAit has the new mazda writing with "automobiles" written just above it. Havent seen these housings before. Any one know?

Dell'orto Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Probably S4 housings, dunno if the older ones are still available now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nah definately not S4/5 or earlier. Possibly JC ones or something? Might take a pic later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dunno, my S4 had those housings, though it had been rebuilt at some point. Also all of my 12A's had that type of housing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 My S4 housings just say 13B MAZDA These ones seem to have less of a drop from where they come off the plates to the middle. Shit photo- I'm just curious about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 that front looks like a 12a turbo plate to me,but i would say there rx4 housings...although my s4 had similar writing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sexychevette Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 um if they were pre 1980 something it will still have the NSU lisence thing written on them wont they? like early series 4 housing still have this but ones like mine which are made latter dont say this(edit: should say early series 4 housings still say licensed by NSU..just like the oldschool housings). They def from the 80s or newer as they have the 80s mazda font. Might be from a 13b super injection HB csomo/luce? edit: nah not super injection cos they would say licensed by NSU. prob REW housings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 they could be a new production made rx4 housing..definately not s4/5 cos they arent compatible with 12a plates cos the water seal grooves changed from being in the housing to being in the end plates... how bout s3 13b....

MACKAZ Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 that front looks like a 12a turbo plate to me,but i would say there rx4 housings...although my s4 had similar writing... If they use B8EM plugs, (twin electrode) they are earlier^ housings.... if they have three raised "points" around the plug holes they are later turbo housings The memory is a bit foggy due to years of mind numbing nothingness but tend to think thats the way it went from my days as a parts guy.

Guest sexychevette Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 so theyre def 12a plates then? if so theyre as said most probably reproduction rx4/5 housings... dangerdanger: seeing this reminded me about those parts u wanted. i gave the parts dude a list ages ago but have been around and about and not seen him for ages. Will give him a call this arvo and see how he got on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
