Sorry about that port picture. I did not realize there were
all those Japanese characters with it when I saved it.
That stuff really clogs up the internet.

Looks like Mazda redesigned the rotors for lighter weight.
They look to me like two piece aluminum diecastings 
with a larger rotor bearing and/or phaseing gear.
That would make sense for 280 HP NA at 9000 RPM. To
run that fast both the gear needs to be improved  and 
the rotor weight needs to be reduced.

Looks like we are going to need new PSRU's with 3:1
gear ratios.
