could someone please take a second and translate some of the abbreviations you guys make referance to, I'm pretty new at the rx7 game. fc3 ? n/a ? bov ? and so on .

Thanks, 87 t2
Jim

 

fc= 2nd gen Rx-7 (first part of the VIN) FB=1st gen and FD= 3rd gen

n/a = naturaly asperated (non turbo)

bov= blow off valve

um.. what else?

 

FC is the second generatoin RX7s, N/A is Naturally Aspirated, in other words, no turbo, no super, no nitrous oxide, no forced injection at all (this applys to all cars, not just RX7s), BOV-Blow Off Valve, only turbo cars have this, its the valve that releases excess pressure the turbo makes when the throttle is let down. i think i got these right. Later and have fun with that TurboII you lucky bastard you, haha

 

Beat to the chase by 2 mins... urg.. hehe.. oh well, i tried.

 

i think i read that the abbr. for 1st gen was not FB it was somethin else. now only if i could remember what that was....

 

your probably thinking of the SA22C... I believe that was the chassis code for the 79-80 RX-7's... FB came into play 80+. While we are here... What the hell is the 'TB mod'? I'm probably gonna kick myself when someone tells me

 

TB mod is the throttle body mod. It invloves removing the secondary throttle plates for higher airflow and removing the coolant circulation through the TB for a cooling intake charge. It is very easy and very cheap, and good for top end power.

Some of the things I throw in the trash :

ACV- Air Control Valve
BAC- Bypass Air Control valve
EGR- Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve

 

I wouldnt throw them away if you need to pass emissions every year!!!

 

I don't, every RX-7 I've ever had gets its emissions control junked.

 

Emissions...What is that? (sarcasm)

 

Yes, we all know that some of you live out in BFE, and dont have emissions (probably dont have running water either..... ) But some of us unfortunate souls have to pass that stoopid junk every year. I was just trying to save someone a lot of hassle. Trust me, if I could throw it in the trash I WOULD!!!!!

 

heres my favorite:

AWS: automatic warmup system, aka automatic wear system

 

Thanks alot to all of you for helping out the new guy. So your saying when i do the tb mod my car won't pass emissions ?

I dont know about the TB mod...Alot of they people here remove the Cats, Airpump, and ACV. I plan to do this also, but I am definately NOT throwing them in the trash!

 

the TB mod wont affect your emmisions if you do it correctly.
you can also port it while you are at it for smoother flow.


i thougt aws was ACCELLERATED warmup system?

 

Vash
do you play counterstrike?? I think i saw your SN today
