hey yall. im new here, i live in tampa and i have a 85 GSL-SE ... i have no idea what year the motor is ... i think it is more of a mixture of years ... anyways i just wanted to say whats up to my fellow 1st gen owners on here. I used to have a 89 turbo 2 and i kinda miss it but one of the seals was gettin water in w/ the oil and that + the turbo smoked reall bad and i had no money for a rebuild so i traded for the first gen which i love equally as much

 

great. welcome to the club. if its a GSL-SE its a 13b FI motor. they only came out 84/85.

have fun with it. its not TII but they can be damn quick and nimble.

 

hehe most definately "nimble", especially when compared to the turbo 2 i had ... "missing" springs up front was not a luxury, though it looked damn good standing still slammed like that. The engine is not stock ( prolly should have mentioned that ) all i know is the center housing has what used to be an EGR valve ( 86-89 ) on top. But the others i am told are from a 93. It has a holley 600 and RB intake & exhaust manifold. I have ran into some big electrical problems, and some overheating, but besides that it has been good to me. Im only 16 tho so i dont know if i can say too much ... lol - oh ya + a street port

 

welcome. the knowledge here is abundant and accurate. hope you find all you need.
