I came across a good deal on a 91 Turbo

Every thing is there besides the engine and tranny.
So instead of me waisting my time to get an s5 engine I might want to get an S4 and go carbed..

What fuel pump do you run?

If I dont keep the car im just taking the goodies,Tailights,front nose,mirrors...etc etc.

I just dont like seeing a nice clean body go to the junker...and it has a clean title.

I have not gone carbed but I want to since it is good and cheaper than EMS

I believe people use a holy fuel pump. Search for my "comparing carb to EMS thread you will find some info on going carbed.

Tring to get the pics up in a sec.. I look at these pics and cant trash the car..

Rotary7s

You can see how clean the car is.. It has alot of goodies.

Rockford Fosgate speakers in the rear towers,Rockford Tweeters on the doors,S5 inside plastic in PERFECT shape.2 hoods/1 aluminum ..1 steel...S5 tail lights.. S5 TII mirrors,the body is so dam straight.. Inside was all black but my friend took it to put it in his black FC then put the blue in this car..

The black dash is there...so it the main carpet.. the rest is blue..

He has to move it asap..
Hes got this in the back ..his drag car trailor in the front.. his other FC in the front ..and his new Ford 4 door pick up..

I just dont have room IN my shop.. So either im going to get it to fix and drive... or just part it here...

That will mean I got 5 cars...and not much room.

What model do you think this was?
I thought it was a TIi but I forgot the S5 GTU had these mirrors..am I right?

yeah there is a red GTU around here looks like that. I don't know much about S5's (likes S4 better ) I would go for it though

Check the instruments, is there a boost gauge on the lower left below the oil pressure gauge?

Pretty tight car, I'd try and save her.

Cheers,

My guess is it was either a TII or a GXL. Reason being it has power windows and a sunroof. So they either swapped those side mirrors on to a GXL or its an original S5 TII. Do a VIN check and find out I guess. Good luck

PS. That car is wicked clean on the outside, looks mint. I say get it for sure.

Rotary7s

This cars body is cleaner than my 10 AE..


I didnt think about checking the gauges till I left,cause my friend was in a rush to go to a birthday party..

But he DID say it had leather seats..

BUT the so called stock hood was a n/a steel one..that black one is an aluminum one..He took out the inside and put it in his S4,but left the dash,and threw his blue interiror in..

I got to get this car..

But Its going to be carbed...sorry guys..

i would definately get it regardless of if its a TII or GTU

damn.. i almost wish my car wasnt black.. if it were red or white or gray, id definately have the hood black..

that car could be really nice car when your done!

id paint just the front bumper, but leave it red with a black hood, and carb an s4 n/a. then it would be a hell of a nice car - not only an eye catcher but a real gem to all the rotary enthusiasts around

Rotary7s

Thats what im thinking,,just get a S4 short block ..rip it down ..port it..and throw a carb on it..easy as hell..and get any 84-88 NA tranny..

I know wheres theres a good nunmber of those in my friends junk yard..

He did have a S4 n/a short block ...someoen took off the upper and lower intakes..

This can be my daily driver/beater..

i know someone who was looking for the vert wheels..I was going to work out a deal with him and get his S4 TII wheels,but hes being a bitch and wont answer my PMs.

I want just S4 TII wheels,maybe paint them black .. throw my S4 mirrors on ..take the S5 ones off..I hate them..

ViperKillerWannabe

My S5 GXL has those mirrors, so it's probably that. Also, if you do part it out, I'd like the tails and the rear bumper.

Rotary7s

Ok if your GXL had the same mirrors,did it have leather seats?

The gauge theory wont work..
Theres 2 gauge cluster inside the car..theres alot of spare parts..

How are the FCs with no power steering? Cause he wants to keep the PS pump..

i think its a GTU because the s5 GXL had rear wipers to them same with the turboII...

Rotary7s

Thanks...

Whats teh leather seat deal on the S5 which came with them?

totpkg

Most likely a GXL with the leather option, but if you check the badge just inside the drivers door and see what size tires it came with .... if 16" it was a TII,
you did say it had a sunroof? so if wasn't a GTUs.

jgrts20

my 83 was carbed when i put in a 13b engine!! its gone now!! i ran the stock fuel pump also!1

BTW if u every get rid of that car, i want the nose hehe!!

Mick50

Other than VIN check it could take a while trying to figure out what this although....if it IS a turbo S5 it's a rare car and worth rebuilding. A turbo S5 will have power everything, GTU's are bare bones. You've got power mirrors and leather? Poss a GXL.

Do you still have the driveshaft? Turbo ones are different than the NA and will not fit.

How about this, pull up the carpet on the pass side and get the numbers off the ECU.

Go get her!

An FC is just fine without the PS pump that is how mine is running now it feels good and you save some weight and it revs just a BIT faster.

Sigh....Whatever. If you believe that, then fine. Just don't spread misinformation around...

There are many threads on the significant disadvantages of going with a carb setup. A search should turn them up. Bottom line: leave the stock EFI and tune it with an S-AFC.

1987RX7guy

I never said it was superior to ESM BUT it does give higher HP than the stock EFI

EDIT: where ya been Aaron?? been peaceful without you lol

Welcome back man now you can help keep me in check.

Im defitnely keeping the nose and tail lights for another project..


How do you figure its NOT cheaper going carbed and get nice HP gains then going FI and buying aftermarket ECU,Bigger Injectors, etc..

Carb=$250.
RB intake=$200.
Roadrace Header=$140.
Injector Plug kit=$33.


Im just wondering..
