hey whats up.
i got a 88' GXL automatic

its got a 13b n/a with blown apex seals
(engine smelled like fried chicken when it blew)

anyway i was mulling around in my head the idea of doing a v8 swap...... then i figured too much hassle for my limited working space and budget

recently my friend found a working and running 13 b turbo out of a turbo II.... i was wondering if anyone could help me out as far as finding out what i need to swap out to make it work in my car.

if at all possible i would like to keep my auto because i dont feel like replacing my whole floor pan to put a manual in... any help would be greatly appriciated

thanks

ps: any info could be emailed to me..... djsammydjr@yahoo.com

 

I see you have one post (this one) so let me save you some trouble.....At the top of this forum it says

i just got my 1991 non turbo rx7 4 days ago i dont know a single thing about what model and all they are can yous tell me what i have a gxl or whatever also whats s4 and s5

 

ummm it should say on the side fenders if its a special model (ie GXL, GTU, GTUs if your lucky) otherwise its just a base model S4 is the 86-88 2nd Gen RX-7's and 89-92 is the S5, again most of this is in the FAQ section

 

Geeze man.. it was spelled out right infront of you.

Here, I'll quote it again

His model is a 91. There were only 2 models in 91. The turbo and the coupe. The turbo was not labeled a Turbo II, even though its pretty much the same as a 90 Turbo II. The 91 N/A was just the coupe.

I'll go ahead and answer all your Q's though

S4 or 5 means "Series 4 or 5"
S4: 1986-1988 FC3S RX7s
S5: 1989-1991 FC3S RX7s

Horsepower ratings:
S4 N/A: 146 BHP
S4 TII: 182 BHP
S5 N/A: 160 BHP
S5 TII: 200 BHP

How to distinguish... most easily by the molding around the car, and by the tail lights/front bumper.

S4 cars all have black trim around the car. The tail lights are also horizontal "bars." An S5 car has the body's color as the trim color, and the tail lights are circular.

 

so i have the s5 do just have the standard model not the GXL, GTU, GTUs since they only made the 2 models or did they still have these out

 

Yours is a S5 91 coupe. That's it.

AGAIN, if you would just read the FAQ, you would have found this:

Its also on the front page here. "What came with my FC"

This has all the different models listed, and what options they had and were available.

 

i hung around for months before i posted amd i read alot........u should do the same, some of the members here will rip you a new one if you ask the wrong question...........the search button helps sometimes too.......the 91 was a fully loaded RX7.....
