hey can nebody tell me if the 90 GXLs were turbocharged couldnt find nething in the FAQs about it if not can they be? and is there a way of telling that its a 13BT just by lookin at it?

 

Nope, GXL's are ALL non turbo.

 

you can tell if it has a 13bt is you can see the turbo! Only turboII models of the second Gen have a turbo. all others are N/A.

 

The intercooler is a pretty big giveaway aswell.

 

And the hood...

 

i know u can see the turbo i ment just by lookin at the car not the engine but i guess the hood is a givaway

 

the hood obviously and the wheels, if you see 16's (stock wheels of course) its a turbo or a gtus which is just as cool. 15's and 14's were on na's and convertables, the convert wheels are very nice as are the 91 coupe's 15in wheels but the rest kinda blow. anyways not the easiest thing to figure out when looking at a car but they are different. btw who thinks those wheels they put on s5 n/as in 89 and 90 are the worst wheels put on a fc. im sorry i have a 89 gtu as a parts car and those wheels are just awful looking, how could they get the 91 wheels right and the other ones so wrong.

 

IIRC all 'vert wheels are 15x6.5, and they all are very light BBS rims.

 

Yes ALL GXL's are turbo

My 88 GXL was not a turbo.

 

smoke crack much?

 

He must be smoking something funny. Both GXLs that I owned were non turbos.

 

why not just tell this guy to read the sticky's up top before posting?? I had a legitimate thread closed by a mod because I searched but the answer was in one of them, and this stupid question just keeps going on and on....

Read the "what did my FC come with?" sticky

 

Hmm don't know if this is a wave of newbs answering each other or it's sarcasm?

NO GXL came turbo.

The only model which is turbo in the second generation is the TURBO II.

SE/GTU/GXL/GTUs are all NON Turbo.

They are 13b's which have variable intake ports to increase RPm range hp.

S4's are like 146hp and 138 torque.
S5's more like 160hp i think.

 

just in case u didnt get it.........IT HAS TO SAY "TurboII" on the side if it is pre-'91.....91+ came as coupe, turbo and convertible until the 93 model came out.

 

thanks for the input

 

Yep that is the ticket exactly

 

Please do not post unless you really know... making stuff up like that helps no one and has the potential to cause fellow members major problems.
