Need to know the difference

Can somebody tell me the difference between the non-turbo engines offered in the 2nd generation RX's. I keep seeing reference between the FC and FD and I have know idea what the hell everybody is talking about. If anyone knows stats like HP and Max RPM that would be greatly appreciated.

DJ! is more or less right, but maybe the numbers differ slightly in New Zealand.

FC are the 1986-1992 RX-7's, also called 2nd generation RX-7's. They all have the 13b engine.

They are divided into:

Series 4 (S4, 1986-88) with 146 hp@6500 rpm 138 ft lb @3500 rpm
Series 5 (S5, 1989-92) with 160 hp@7000rpm 140 ft lb@4000 rpm

Both series had single turbo versions, called the Turbo II. S4 with 182hp/183 ft lb and S5 with 200hp/196 ft lb.

The FD, is the 3rd generation of RX-7's. They are all twin-turbo 13b's. They have 255 hp and 216 ft lb.
