The only 2nd Gen. RX-7's to come with a Turbo, were the TII's.

Which trim level is it? Base? Sport? Luxury? GXL? TII? GTU?

S4 N/A motors put out 146hp when new.

Make sure you take a look at the FAQ's and all the stickies at the top of the 2nd Gen. section. Those will answer almost all your questions.

what he said.. also, Aaron Cake has a website that tells you exactly what to look for when buying a 7. It is very well writen and helpful. Just search Aaron cake on google or here on the board.

There you go. If you are looking at the Turbo II, then replace "buy1.htm" with "buy2.htm".

Happy shopping!
