IM new to rx7 and I want to know all about them so I wont have any trouble with my own, its also my first car a 85 gslse. What's a rats nest????



da one and only rxgen1 2fast4u

 

Th rats nest is all the emissions stuff. like all the little tubes with colored connectors on top of the engine. Go HERE and click on the rats nest removal part( it takes a long time to load) if you want to take it off.

 

Don't do the rats nest removal according to that guide. Your vacuum advance won't work. Wait until someone figures out how to hook up the vacuum advance properly.

 

By the way if you have a GSL-SE with its 13b EFI I wouldn't try the tutorial for the carburetor'd 12a.

 

A, your right. I read his post real quick sorry

 

13b EFI I wouldn't try the tutorial for the carburetor'd 12a.




whats that im only seventeen my pops gave me the car i know the 12a is from the other rx7....................???

 

efi is electronic fuel innjection as opposed to carburated.. check the pictures of the engines

 

Bouis, you suggest not to do the rat's nest since they have not figure our your finding about the vacuum advance? I was thinking about removing it tonight and tomorrow. So...... That's a no no for now?

 

Not if you want to keep the vacuum advance. Losing it will hurt your gas milage and low end performance a little. I'm not really sure what the ultimate solution will be. Hopefully I'll figure it out when I go home and can get my rats nest back in a few days.

 

AND THE FUEL INJECTION COMES SOCK FOR THE GSLSE RIGHT?


WHAT ABOUT THIS VACUUM advance WHATS THAT

 

 

V8kilr - LOL

yes fuel injection comes stock on gsl-se.

 

I followed the tutorial. Is that why im getting bad gas mileage?

 

But isnt the gains worth it?(and not having to look at that ugly nest)
You have to comprimise with every upgrade you do.

 

You really shouldn't here.

 

Go look in Bouis other thread, I answered this vacuum advance thing, hopefully its clear now.

 

I did the removal. Don't see any problems here. I set my timing just a few weeks ago. While I still had the light hooked up, a grabbed the throttle cable and gave it a yank. The cranked advanced just fine. Now, I have no idea how many degrees, but the way the car runs and idles, I would say everything is A-okay.
