Whats with the different motor "series", and how do you know which one you have?
I see alot of links that say series 4 motor, or series 5 motor, how do you know which one you have, and whats the difference? Oh if you cant tell, Im new, had my 7 for 2 days. And I f*ckin love the beautiful piece of metal.

Series 5 will have the VDI intake system...series 4 will not. Series 4 has a big metal boxy thing on top (Dynamic Chamber), that has ridges going front to back.. It will say "13B Injection" i think on it.. Series 5 looks different, but I can't remember how.
Also..hm...something makes me want to say the throttle body is reversed between the two... but that may just be the turbo/na difference.

All 86-88 is series 4, All 89-92 is series 5.
On BOTH of my series 4's, I have *TWO* rad caps.. One on the radiator, and one right next to the thermostat..
Of course, nothing says it's the stock radiator..
