For that matter, the 86-88 model motors are all the same, only difference is the injectors (resistance).

hehe I have the same thing, 88 gtu w/ 87 engine in it, and it seems to want to "flutter" at lower rpm lately, but only after I let my dad drive it for a couple days. Needless to say he felt bad and I got new winter tires :P.

Ya, but mine is running a little weird too, anything below 3000 rpm seems to shake the car 5x more then normal. I hope im not losing an apex. ( .. my dad said the car got really hot ... because he didnt know he had AC on.... ) lawlz. Maybe he melted a seal.
