Nothing, except they stopped making this version of the car the same year they put it out.
I love this car! It is my intent to keep this car forever and slowly make it the fastest and most comfortable vehicle on four wheels. Anybody else with the smarts to buy one of these go to http://www.isuzuperformance.com.
I've owned a 1986 Impulse for 11 years. Normal wear and tear, and a very limited parts supply have made me wary of owning another.
The car has been so dependable and fun, I bought a 1991 AWD intercooled turbo Impulse. It is equipped with the factory Lotus option and is extremely fast. I've added some aftermarket toys, and it runs with any Mustang or Camaro on the road. I've also found out that with this body style, most exterior body parts are compatible with other more common cars. Example: rear body - Geo Storm, doors and body mouldings - Honda Civic. By finding this out, the cost and availability of wings, rims, and ground effect kits has been cut in half.
Good luck with yours,
Wade.
Can anyone give me the horsepower specs for a 91 RS turbo? I know its a 2.0 4 cyl. but I've yet to get horsepower or 0-60 specs. either would be great.
It is a 1.6 liter DOHC Turbo four-cylinder. It's factory rated at 160HP and about 150lb/ft torque. Drive layout is front transverse engine, AWD, 5-speed manual.
I've test driven a 30k miles '91 RS not long ago. Beautiful little car. Simple, solid, and fast. I was offered a price of $4500 and I wish I'd bought it.
The only comparable cars are the Toyota Celica Alltrac and the Mitsubishi Galant VR4/Eclipse GSX.
What do you guys know about the '89 Impulse Turbo? Is it compatible with other cars as far as body kits etc goes?
Does anyone know if you can put a honda engine such as an h22 into a 91 impulse? I know you could with a lot of custom bracketing and fitting, but do not want to go through the hassle unless I have to, the stock engine in the impulse and the h22 are completely reverse of each other (tranny on other side and basically everything else is reversed too), I want to put the h22 and honda tranny in as smooth as possible, any suggestions?
It's nice to see people who enjoys the impulse, well as for as the 91 rs 0-60sec.Is in like 9.7 or 9.8sec. l8ter.
I want to upgrade my Isuzu Impulse 1991 with a turbo. How do I do that?
