Air Intake Problems
 
I Have An 86 Rx-7 Na And I Was Searching For A Thread That Explains A Self Install For The Intake. I Tried Doing It Myself But I Found A Small Complication...the Vacuum Line That Connects To The Air Pump Needs To Be Caped Off Or It Needs A Breather...the Problem Is I Don't Know Where To Find One...can Someone Please Help Me Out?

check autozone, shucks, checkers, or kregen (sp?) for the breather

For now get a green scotchbrite pad and wrap it with a big rubber band or tie-wrap around the air pump intake (or what you're calling the "vac line")...

Get a dedicated air pump filter assy as soon as possible...They're only 10 bucks or so...

Go buy this. It's cheap. It'll be labelled 'air breather' or something similar. It'll fit in your hand. It'll fit that hose from the pump perfectly. :)

Yeah i know exactly what that is but i was told that the breather was too small for the tube that i am trying to cover... I will take your word for it though...Thanx

Yeah, the breather works find on it. You may need to get another hose clamp, the one that came with my autozone breather was too small for the hose.

all of them have it.
when you install a cone filter you need to filter the air going in the airpump too

i got an apexi cone and the adapter that goes onto the cone has a hole on it and they give u another hose to hook up to the hole and the airpump.
