Exclamation Need some help again

Hey guys, I have an N/A fc motor and I want to get rid of some vacuum line for a cleaner look, also because in my eye they just look kind of unnecessary, if anyone has a link(with pictures) please help me out...

well, is that engine going in the '85 you have listed in your signature? if so, it will depend on how you plan to go about using it in that car and to an extent, which series it is.

your other thread happened to be the one i looked at right after this one.

okay, so you're putting it in the '85 and plan to run it with the stock ECU. see if this helps any: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...emoval-911988/

Well this is a drifting car so will all those vacuum lines be necessary? I haven't even thought about how I'm gonna do the fuel

If the car is a pure track car, then almost none of that system is necessary. The entire solenoid rack can go, as can the ACV, ASV and most other stuff. Keep the BAC so that you have some idle regulation as well as the cold start thermowax. I'd recommend keeping some sort of PCV system otherwise you'll need to be emptying a catch can (track officials frown on oil spilling from the car).

The Factory Service Manuals for all years of RX-7 (and many other rotary cars) can be downloaded for free here: Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals . They contain all common service information and more, and are an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.

Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.

These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download. The Haynes is a good quick reference covering 99% of questions, while the FSMs show complete and detailed procedures.
