woooooooooahh ! we didn't get half that cr@p on our engines ! ... i see why its nick named the rats nest !

Keaponlaffen

actually, the 81-85 models had about twice as much crap as the 79-80 models... more solenoids, hoses, etc.

ask me how I know (83 engine in a 79 car)

BEFORE

AFTER

<thinking aloud>Hmmmmmm I think its about time I replaced my leads<thinking aloud>

damon

Just for the record, the first pic is not my car. It belongs to a friend, but mine looked exactly like it (minus that FRAM oil filter).

peace

Mr. ImportGuy

So you just rip everything off or what?

damon

just rip it out and plug all nubs except the large one next to the fuel lines

peace

Manntis

but don't those lines do things? It's unlike an automotive manifacturer to put switches and hoses on just for the fun of it.

MikeLMR

Some of them are for emissions ... hence why my car hasn't got them ... but the rest of them must be there for a pretty good reason

Mr. ImportGuy

So wait I just rip off all that stuff then plug up all the holes? I feel kinda weird just ripping everything off not knowing what I'm really doing lol.

You think thats a bad rats nest, look here, and that was only about 1/2 of it...

Mr. ImportGuy

YIKES! I have to take all that off?!? Could someone explain how to do this in a bit more detail? I have an 83'

damon

is that sarcasm I smell mantis? j/k

all the rats nest can be removed just dont plug the oil filler neck, or the nub on the top of the engine next to it.

the engine nub needs to go to the canister, and the filler neck to a nub on the carb that constantly pulls vaccum. same principal as crankcase ventilation.

do not remove the vaccum lines that go from the carb to the carb (clear/yellow)

Is this thread just regarding carbureted engines, I just bought an 83 with an 87 13B in it. It appears to be kind of thrown in. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, and I am new to the rotory thing. I am looking to clean up the engine compartment and an wondering, along with various emisions stuff is it ok to remove stuff like the sub-zero fluid. It is going to be stored in the winter, so i figure it isn't needed, is that correct?

Mr. ImportGuy

Hmm maybe I should wait and get someone who knows what their doing, to help me. I don't want to break anything.

Felix Wankel

Yeah the sub zero fluid is worthless. Pull it off.

Is the car carbed or fuel injected now?

damon

nosajwrx-7 - this is only for carbs, I cant say that I know too much about the fi engines. pm directfreak, mike-p-28, accuspeed or some of the other that have done the swap.

peace

It is currently FI, I haven't really decided what to do with the car yet, I am doing a lot of reading right now. Still in the planing stages!
