"Exact" weight will depend on trimline and options of a particular car. They are pretty close, with the FD slightly lighter, but a set of heavy wheels on either car could be the difference.

The OP won't find the answer to his question on Wikipedia because they only give a range of curb weights for the various generations of RX-7; they don't break out weights for the TIIs. I suppose he could try to read the various OEM brochure pages in the Second Gen FAQ section, but some are down, etc.

Here are some figures from "Mazda RX-7 Sports Car Color History" by John Matras (1994):

1987 Turbo II - Curb weight: 2,845 lb. (The 1987 Mazda brochure lists curb weight as 2,850 lb.)

1991 Turbo - Curb weight: 3,003 lb. (The 1991 Mazda brochure lists curb weight as 2,987 lb.)

1993 Base 5-speed - Curb weight - 2,789 lb.
R1 - 2,800 lb.
Touring 5-speed - 2,862 lb.

So the general ballpark is than a S4 TII and an FD are pretty close in weight with an S5 Turbo being about 140-200 pounds heavier depending on the FD model you're looking at. As noted above, variations in equipment could alter these numbers.
