S5 motor?

I am looking at a rx7 with a S5 motor and I was wondering if anyone has any specs on this. I am new to rotaries so bare with me. It is a NA motor and not the turbo version. Thank you.

when you say "specs" you need to be a little more specific.
The first thing you will want to do if you are unsure about the engine, is compression test it.

How many miles are on it?

edit:
its a 2 rotor (count the spark plugs)
it's fuel injected (see a carb?)
horse power is around 150 or so N/A; not sure the exact number.

EFI (have you seen 1989-1991 japanesse production car using carb?)
2 ROTOR (ever heard "13b"?) 1308 ccm (754cm each rotor)
160HP na, 205HP turbo
9.7 Compreson ratio in N/A, 9.0 in TURBO
6 PORTS (2AUX PORTS) in NA, 4 PORT TURBO
Sequential fuel injection, 4 injectors, 2pri/2secondary 460cc NA, 550cc turbo


YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SEARCH, SERIOUSLY.

The second gen section has a great FAQ posted at the very top so it's easily seen. All your questions and more are answered there.

thank you PercentSevenC. Thats all i needed to know. I didnt need the sarcastic comments. I havent even seen the motor so how was i supposed to know if it was carbed or not.

Petex - I googled as much as i could and i used the search function on these forums and didnt find anything for a 5s engine. all google would pull up is audi's. but thanks for the smart comment

you can curse me if you wish, but i'm going to say ...

great attitude toward the one person that did what you wanted and spoonfed you an answer. you're a real winner. i can understand wanting to learn something and i don't knock that - honestly, i don't. however, i don't think Petex was rude or out of line with saying you need to learn how to search - especially after taking the time out of his day to bring the answer to you. it's the truth.

Google pulled up Audis - makes sense. you're either telling the truth or quick on your feet. i mean you knew enough to come to an Rx-7 board, so did it ever occur to you to find out what S5 meant and then broaden your search that way? there is nothing you can say to anyone here that's going to make us believe that in 4 days you couldn't have found the specs on a stock Rx-7 ... on an Rx-7 board no less - especially since they ARE in the FAQs of the Gen II section.

i don't shun simple questions because everyone had to start learning somewhere. however, if you're not going to be grateful, then a little humility ...
