Someone clear this up for me
undefinedundefined
Yeah, haha. I know I might sound dumb but I'm doing research on the FC coz Imma bout to by one but I'm getting confusing stats, sum1 care to help me out on this?
One site says:
86-88 13b is 146bhp
89-91 13b is 160bhp
86-88 13b Turbo is 182bhp
89-91 13b Turbo is 200bhp
Another site says:
The second generation (the "FC", whose VIN begins JM1FC3) featured a complete restyling; some would say it resembled the Porsche 944. It had two series, from 1986-1988 (series 4) and 1989-1991 (series 5). The S4 came with a naturally aspirated (N/A) fuel-injected 13B makeing 146 horsepower. In 1987 a turbocharged model was introduced (the Turbo II) making 189 hp. The S5 cars featured updated styling and better engine management, as well as lighter rotors and higher compression. The N/A S5 FC made 160hp, while the S5 TII made 200 hp.
See the thing is I want the strongest FC possible stock-wise b4 I start tuning and all that but its so hard to find a 89-91 Turbo in Virginia. I did find a 86 Turbo, so I'm a little confused on what I'm getting. Please help, appreciate it at bunch.

89-91 NA = 160 HP @ 7000 RPM w/ 140 Ft/lb @ 4000 RPM
89-91 Turbo = 200-202 @ 6500 RPM w/ 196 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM
Infini IV = 215 @ 6500 RPM w/ 206 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM

The first one you posted is the most correct (and matchs the one we have listed here in the FAQ for FC).
And techincally there were no 86 Turbos in the USA. All the US spec Turbos made in 86 were sold as 87 model year.
Of course in Japan and Aus/NZ there were 86 model year Turbos, but they would all be right hand drive and still 182 HP.

If you are just looking for a mostly-stock car, then any year of TurboII will be just fine. These cars are too old for you to worry about how they performed back in the 80's. Just find one that you like, and upgrade as desired. Just don't try and turn a non-turbo into a turbo, as this is not worth the trouble given the small price difference between these models in the used car market.
