But I think Erik is right. That looks like a US intake sitting on a twin-dizzy engine. It's a little odd.

 

Not liking the exhaust...wish it had no rub strip...and wish I hadn't bought my GTO ATM. Perhaps too nice for DD duties though.

 

Do you mean an L-Jet intake ?

 

Concur.
From what I recall, there aren't different ROW and US LJet intakes. Comparing CIS and L-jet intakes is apples n oranges.

Thats a Borla exhaust for what its worth

 

Eric and Samantha sold that car to Russell in Ormond Beach. Russell has spent the last year or so making it right. I doubt he will make much if any money on the sale. There was alot of defered maintenance that he took care of while in his care. He's a really good guy and I would trust his description of the car. He's also a Rennlister but doesn't post much these days.

 

BTW, Eric is a techy type person and always put extremely high quality audio components in all of his cars. I would expect that the audio equipment in this car is top notch.

 

It's clearly not a CIS car, true. And that's correct for an '85 euro. But I'm not referring to the FI, I'm looking at the intake runners and they are exactly the same as the US intake runners - smaller diameter with more bends. The runners on the euros are larger with more gentle curves, unless the LH cars used the smaller runners?

 

Hmm, yes, those runners look "skinny" for a Euro S2 84-86 which all have the fatter runners. Seems to have the correct Euro fuel rails for the barb injectors.

 

Here's my 84 Euro S, FWIW.

 

That looks like the red one. I was wrong, I didn't know the euro S L-jet and euro S CIS cars had different intake runners.

 

thats a very nice car

I recall wanting to buy it when it was for sale earlier.

Not a fan of the black pod with otherwise grey dash, i really like the grey interior though.

And i know nothing about the 16V engines.....

 

very tempting...

 

Interesting that the LH euros use different intake runners, looks exactly like the (smaller) US runners. I never knew that and now it points to the obvious. For anyone looking to raise the power of a US car to euro levels, you apparently don't need the euro intake! You do need everything else but apparently the US intake can flow enough to support 300hp+ power levels without supercharging. Everyone else probably knew that, but I didn't.

 

IIRC the Euro intake runners ( spider legs are bigger in diameter)
