Hello all!! i am picking up a 79 capri rs turbo tomorrow. i havnt seen it yet other than exterior pics. im being told that it has a carburated turbo engine. all original from day one. ive tried searching the web about it but find vague if any mention about a carburated turbo rs. has anyone seen this engine before?? if so can you give me any info like, is this a one year only option, can it be retro fitted to the efi turbo system or any websites to search for more info on this set up. thanks for your help.

 

I am just getting into the convertible "sport" car and find it a steep learning curve. This one has a turbo on it and is fuel injected as well. I'm lead to believe it's a 1.6 l., but the turbo boosts it to 132 h.p.

I'm not sure that is relevant to your 1979 though. I think mine was only built from 91-94. I'll bet someone out there could respond better to your post if they find it. I am hoping for help with a few issues myself and have posted what I need. Good luck.
