Yea my s4 gxl had adjustable suspension before the previous owner installed coilovers. Might re use the old buttons for an adjustable exhaust

Let me start off by saying great video. Now second, don't ever use those annoying bell sound bytes again. Third, my s4 GXL came with adjustable suspension and ABS for that matter. Keep them coming!

Oh fancy you having abs on yours.. I got adjustable suspension (may or may not actually work) and 5 lug. Mostly the 5 lug matters.

The S5 TII also had a twin scroll turbo and made about 20 hp more. Not to mention the S4 had a clutch pack rear lsd, and the S5 had a viscous. There was also the difference in transmissions, compression, suspension, and ecu. Anybody who has owned both will tell you that there are a TON of differences between the S4 and the S5.

Never seen a S5 with automatic seat-belts, very cool.

Got an s5 vert a year and a half ago your vids helped the rebuild! Thanks and keep the content cooking!

I'n not well informed about those differences so thanks for this video. Great stuff!

Forgot to mention about the fuel rail, throttle body, that coolant injection thing they had and cluster layout.. Fuel rail: s4 had the fuel pulsating dampener on the outside and when the gasket went bad it would leak on exhaust manifold causing fires. While s5 was internal and that was not a concern Throttle body: S4 had a high range tps on throttle body and low/mid range tps by pedal assembly. While s5 had both on throttle body Cold start coolant injection S4 had a tank by passenger side that had coolant in and was injected to the combustion camber to build compression for cold starts for winter. While s5 I think they either deleted it or changed the design completely cause my s5 did not have the tank that my s4 had Cluster layout S4 has an ugly cluster layout.. s5 was restyled a little bit

I am looking at 1988 s4 convertible. this video really cleared things up thank you.

hi sir, i really enjoy your video; i would like to know if the handling berween the fc and fa/fb drastically different ( considering i want to upgrade the suspensions ect....Thanks

Liked your video! If you can it would be cool to see a video covering the FC options and trims throughout the production line.

You did a gingium collab?

Do all s5 have auto seat belts? Is so, where they available in gray? I don't want to remember them to slap on s4 interrior lol

Also one thing that you forgot to state as well along with people in the comments are the lower control arms. The S4 has the removable ball joint whilst the S5 has the ball joint integrated into the LCA forcing you to replace the entirety of it.

Hi just found your channel. This is the 2nd video of yours I saw. I bought my 87 Turbo II in 2000 or 2001. You could do a video on the differences between the S4 and S5 turbos. Compression ratio, aero package, hi/low impedance injectors, HP/torque ratings, ABS, power steering. I'm sure the list goes on.

I like window pattern, it's much cleaner looking than the Porsche 944. The wrap around window is nicer on the Rx-7 as opposed to the 944 bubble look. The dual exhaust was nice looking on the Rx-7 compared to the 944 as the single pipe looked more like an afterthought. The FC was one of prettiest and looked great at any angle.....that's my rant

Ive had quite a few of both and have a 944 Turbo now. They are both good looking cars in Turbo models, as for the na I have not owned one for 10 years. I owned both in na though. lol I honestly dont know if I could get enjoyment out of a na sports car unless it had a 6 or 8. After having so many cars with more power, I would have to say 250hp is a must and 300hp is when things get fun. That being said the FC is one of the beat platforms and my fav looking cars. I think my 944t looks good. Both platforms are great. 225 was base hp for the 944t and the fc turbo was 212 or so if I remember correctly.As for the Rx7 ... The Fc Turbo had a 4.11 rear end na had a 3.90 the turbo had dual piston calipers made by brembo I think, the na did not, the turbo had a beefier trans and a scoop. Thats all I remember. and all the momo stuff, steering wheel, shift boot, seats...all said momo on em

@@fabjonjon ok I’m three years late but dude if you haven’t already, go and drive an NC2 or NC3 Miata 2009-, most fun you’ll ever have and well under 200hp

Which Oil Metering Pump was better? Mechanical or electronic? Also, are there aftermarket metering pumps, mechanical or electronic, which are of better performance?

I might be the only one asking, but what’s the song at the end of the video called?

So uhm, by using s5 internals in an s4 engine, would you bump up the power or is it a waste of money?

I have a 1989 FC turbo II S5 with 200 HP, yet I don't have adjustable suspension and power seatbelts. Is it that the turbo models have default sport suspension and no power seatbelts because that's a luxury option?

series 4 Rx-7s came with the round taillights too on some (later?/JDM?) models, I have a JDM '88 GT-R with them. also you didn't mention (but showed) the S4/S5 dash, personally I prefer how the 3/4 circles look of the S4!

Good work!!!

Awesome show 👏..

How would you know if you have a series 4 turbo ii motor or a series 5 turbo ii motor? I have an 87 turbo ii but everything on the inside and outside was converted to all black s5 trim including the cluster.

Just saw the video. I've owned 3 1986 RX-7's. All red with grey interior. First one was 1993, 2nd 1995, 3rd 2009. The 2nd car had leather seats and adjustable suspension. Thank you. Loved all these cards but 2/3 overheated and had the dreaded APEX seal issue. Never again, sadly.

Thanks, good video.

Wait, I'm so confused... I have a S4 1988 GXL. It has the S4 N/A engine, but it has the 5 lug pattern, should have ABS when repaired, and the S5 adjustable suspension

If your OK with everything electrical breaking all the time, weird issues due to it sitting for so long, and generally being initially high maintenance and your OK with putting a good amount of work into it then by all means do it. Make sure to pour some oil in the spark plug holes before running a compression test, also give it a few attempts to initially build compression since the seals will be most likely stuck.

The power seatbelt was pretty cool lmao.

I was going to point out a couple of things you got wrong, but I see you already mention the adjustable suspension. I have a 1986 S4 with adjustable suspension AND an inter-cooled turbo......it was imported as a used car from Japan and is branded as the RX7 "Savanna".

God i want an FC

My phone kept going off when you said series so Siri went yo

Didn't u already make dis video

Mirrors and gauge cluster also. I have a s5 na and a 87 TII with 90TII motor :D And tbh screw the auto seatbelts.. Mine got jammed and Mazda wont live up to the warranty on them XD

Also the plastic radio trims are alot different also from 86..to the 89 91...the back spoiler wing is different and of course..the side mirrors 91 is better looking....i use to own a turbo2..when i was a teen lol...miss them cars

You forgot to mention they both never started when they got hot

Now that is the future of seatbelt

This video is a little inaccurate. I had an 89 GXL S5 with adjustable suspension and it didn't have automatic belts. The N/A S5 had a variable dynamic intake system while the S4 did not. The increased redline was only for the N/A S5 while the turbo S5 still had a 7k redline. It's difficult to generalize the differences between S4 and S5 because there's A LOT of variations across trims and options plus differences in different markets. IMO there was a little bit too much trims and options for the FC. As a side note, the 10AE edition was an S4 but came with S5 front bumper and S4 tail lamps. Another side note, the S5 GTUs (special edition lightweight N/A) was as fast as the S4 Turbo in power to weight ratio.

My 87 got adjustable suspension.

S5 revs higher cause the rotors are lighter. The S5 has bigger exhaust port in the turbo mani

Don't forget twin scroll turbo, and closer transmission gear ratios. Also, viscous rear limited slip vs. clutch pack. The S5 was miles better than the S4 in every way.

lol no one will ever see this. I really doubt you’ll look at notifications for a 5 year old video. I had a ‘87 GXL it had a factory pioneer cassette/cd and the cd was garbage. OMG they didn’t put any foam in them back then because cd were new and it didn’t take long to ruin the lazor, but the cassette worked good. I didn’t know a thing about the engine and I raced dirt track back then with a chevy V-8. gas sometimes was 99 cents a gallon and It seemed like it got over 20 mph, but it sure didn’t list that high. It definitely wasn’t a red light to red light car but it would turn in a dime. I hit several off ramps at 80 plus mph. I eventually had to get coil packs for it and they weren’t real cheap, but it was a great car. I got rid of it around ‘96 n
