What is the possibility of finding an ALL ORIGINAL GTUs? I see some every now and then, but most have rebuilt motors, etc. How much would I be looking to pay?

 

Well you could pay 1800 for an 89 like mine since the guy who had it before me was a tard. Mine still has the stock engine however, it was rebuilt and rebuilt like ****. So I am removing it and putting in a J-spec, bridge ported engine. I really like mine since it has the everything that Turbo II has without the turbo. Warning, if the car has leather, than it isn't a GTUs. It could be but I have never seen one. My dad has one with cloth, and I now have one and it has cloth. Your best bet is to find a tard who knows nothing about the engine and has only had the car for like 6 months. Hehehe, I made off with a steal.

 

how much $$$ is for a J-spec engine? PM please

 

$900-1000 with turbo, intercooler, injectors, manifolds, and partial wiring harness. You will still need a T2/Jpsec ECU and partial wiring harness.

 

How many GTUs's were made anyway? I've heard under 500, but not an exact #....

 

they only made 100 GTUs's....as per this rx7 book i have

 

Is said that in '89-'90, the only year that it was sold, Mazda produce 1,200 GTUs.

 

I have a '88 GTU purchased recently with 57K original miles. It was a one-owner car and paid $2700 for it. Does anyone know how many of these were produce for '88 model year?

 

The GTU in 88 was the sport model and there weren't all that many of them made. They aren't all that rare though. The Turbo's and GXl were extremely common during the series 4 cars. The Series 5 GTU's are really common and however; the GTUs is extremelly rare. Umm... I think that is about it
