The OP won't find the answer to his question on Wikipedia because they only give a range of curb weights for the various generations of RX-7; they don't break out weights for the TIIs. I suppose he could try to read the various OEM brochure pages in the Second Gen FAQ section, but some are down, etc.
Here are some figures from "Mazda RX-7 Sports Car Color History" by John Matras (1994):
1987 Turbo II - Curb weight: 2,845 lb. (The 1987 Mazda brochure lists curb weight as 2,850 lb.)
1991 Turbo - Curb weight: 3,003 lb. (The 1991 Mazda brochure lists curb weight as 2,987 lb.)
1993 Base 5-speed - Curb weight - 2,789 lb.
R1 - 2,800 lb.
Touring 5-speed - 2,862 lb.
So the general ballpark is than a S4 TII and an FD are pretty close in weight with an S5 Turbo being about 140-200 pounds heavier depending on the FD model you're looking at. As noted above, variations in equipment could alter these numbers.
