Q. What's all this talk about SA, FB, FC, FD's? and what about S1, S2, S3
A. In short, it's all about VIN numbers.
Check out this thread entitled fb, fc, f-me I'm confused (which also answers about the S* designations)
Here's a cool page called Alphabet Soup & Vehicle Identification

I will give this a shot...
SA...78-80 12a engine carbed (S1)
FB...81-85 12a engine carbed (S2)
(Series 3) 84-84 GSL SE 13b fuel injected
FC...86-92 13b fuel injected and 13b turbo (tubo II) and vert. (S4-S5)
FD 92-94 (usa)- to 99 in japan... 13 b fuel injected twin turbo (series 6)
FE...04-11...Renesis (RX8)
It should be mentioned that in other parts of the world this info is different ie AUS and England, but for the US market I think I got it right. Hope this answers your question

Just to complicate things a bit more, the 83-85 12a is actually the same, but 83 is still regarded as a S2 because of the interior and body basically matching that of an 81-82 (with some minor differences...)
And to FURTHER complicate things (lol, sorry) there are some major differences within the S4 engines, mid 87 they went from low impedance injectors to high impedance, so it's kind a split...
Sorry, I'll stop now...

the series thing is kind of dumb, the Australians use it and we've adopted it. before that we used to just use the model year, cause it works. the japanese use something different, in japan they have something like 7 different versions of the FD!
