'New' FC3S and noob owner. How many pistons have my S4 or S5 engine?

Hello all, my name is Adrian and I'm from the southeast of Spain. (If you love dive, "Cabo de Palos" is THE destination)

Well, I just bought a S4 turbo car with swapped engine to... I don't know. It's turbo but I don't know if it's a S5 or S4.

The car was originally red, but the last owner repainted (himself) to an ugly orange. (I don't like it)
​​​​​​And, as everybody can imagine, half interior is lost, and there is no one f*cking screw.

The engine is OK, good compression, and suspension, chassis...
Some of oxide in rear subchassis. Something that I'll fix in the future.

Hmmmm.... More

I bought this FC3S with an aftermarket and complete exhaust (3"), oversized injectors 720cc and rtek 1.8 moded ECU. (Exhaust mounted only).

I have no idea about rotary engines, and I could not do anything by myself if it were not by my dad. He don't have idea about rotary engine too, but he has about other engines and electricity.
The big problem is that everything under the hood is modified, and we can't follow the manuals, and he never seen this car before.










My dad is mechanic.

​​​​

To be continued...




I'll be glad if someone could help my identifying the engine, checking de .BIN of the rtek 1.8, identifying the exhaust too,...

No pictures of the engine.

That color is currently pretty popular in the U.S. with the resto-mod owners/builders. I generally lean toward stock colors but kind of like it. Hopefully it was done well.

And I’m a diver but usually the Caribbean...Keys, Roatan, St Marten and some others. Maybe someday Spain and the Med.
