Hey guys

We just bought 86 GXL, european version and engine is little bit different than my 88 NA motor. I don`t remember other NA motors, so i have to ask.

Are there in 86's in USA 4 port NA motors ?
I do have 6 port, but this one is 4 port. And ignition looks different than on my car.

Thanks

 

I would think the 86 should be the same as the 88...


Pretty sure all NA series 4 engines are the same over here (6 port)

 

if so, does anyone have more information about those 4 port engines used in european models ?

 

huh? I thought all n/a FC's everywhere had six ports?

 

i tough same, but all euro NA's i saw are 4 ports or does have 6th ports somewhere else than US ones..

 

Stay tuned, i`ll have pictures shortly. First thing u`ll see is difference in ignition (not electronic, but mechanic) and another is mentioned no 5th and 6th port acutators...

Pix should be up later today

 

Sounds like a Pre 84 13B has been installed

 

its not custom work, i have seen it on all euro NA's here...not only one car..

here are pix

 

 

anybody knows???

 

what the hell you doing? the oil stick doesnt go down there...jk

that is weird looking.

 

might be weird, but its stock euro setup from 86 NA model and i would like to get some answers from someone who knows...
jokes are fine, but they don`t help us...thanks

 

All of the European n/a's were 4 port, and the ignition is imply a distributur, like you would find on any of the 12A 1st gens. Very simple, very reliable, very cheap to fix. It uses a distributor to control the ignition timing, and has a pickup on the distributor for crank position, which triggers the ECU to fire the injectors. This is one of the few cases where the U.S. got one of the best engines from a car sold all over the world.

What do you want to know about that engine? I dont know too much about the exact differences, but should be able to help you with what I do know.
