its an 87 model that was the first model year the t2 was offered in the states. stupid auto manufactures can't figure out how the calender works january 1st is the begining of the year they think it is the second week of july

boost_its_what_for_dinner

but is it the 87 or 87.5 im assuming its just an 87 t2 but need to know it makes some differences in fuel injectors and recalls on sensors

Look at the thing in the door jam. It should tell you the build date.

boost_its_what_for_dinner

Damn. Well, does it have any injectors in it now? The color should tell you. Also, I believe the 87 (not 87.5) should have a resistor pack on one side of the engine bay for the injectors. Off the top of my head, its on the pass side strut tower, but I could be wrong about that. Judging by the serial number, it was a VERY early turbo model, made in early-mid '86 but sold as an '87, thus making it not an 87.5.
Edit: just noticed you are the guy with diff colored primary and seconday injectors from the other thread. Both the injector colors you have are for the 86-87 model years.

fromthe FAQ for FC sticky thread:
It is an 87....Not a 86.5

Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread before posting. Many of the commonly asked questions (such as the one this thread was started with) are answered there.

boost_its_what_for_dinner

i knew what that the faqs say ice but when the serial number is 150639... just making a funny and wondering because:
1. my car runs boost on red injectors not sure the numbers on them but it runs rich in boost
2.i have a glass sunroof and i have never seen one in a rx7
3.have to make sure exactly what year it is since there is a difference between the 87 model. plus i have to hear people say (or type) i am just that way i like reassurance

and the 86.5 thing was a joke by the way

Yes, but the FAQ doesn't show exactly which car I have. For example, mine has a S4 rear end, NA body, TII hood, and S5 front end, and those darn FAQs don't show what year it is or which model came with those options. Man, this forum sucks because the FAQs don't list which model I have with those options. I just want some "reassurance". It's not like anything on the car has been changed in the last 20 years.

While I am at it...
What kind of differential does my car have?
Is synthetic oil OK for my car?
How do I make my NA into a turbo?

Hehehe
