Ordered EGR and ACV blockoff plates, what else can go?
I ordered these two plates, and want to remove as much as possible that is associated or that can go anyway. My car is only pulling 10 inches of vacuum, but has 110 psi compression on both rotors, so I am going to replace my injectors with ones that like to work all the time/not leak, as well as eliminate/replace whatever I can. I recall a picture somewhere showing vacuum routing before/after removal of a bunch of stuff, anyone have that handy?

Oh, and quick question, I have two different side mirrors. One is like you see there, and the driver's side has a different shade of red on it and has no hold in it, just solid. Which is the original and what is the other one?

im thinkin pass side is original
FSM's are available online to download and will have all your vacume routing
with 110psi comp you must have a nice steady vac leak somewhere

The one on the passenger side is an aero mirror. It came as an option on most cars in 88. I belive it was standard on all models in 89. Your car being an 87 didn't have that option, so the driverside is the original mirror.
You can remove alot of stuff, it really just depends on what you want to keep. You can remove the whole solinoid rack to symplify things. But this will mean that you will have to remove the twin scroll solinoid wich is located in the turbo exhaust manifold, or you can just wire it open. You can remove all the hard lines under the plenum as well. By doing so, there are only a couple of vacuum lines left, i have done this on a couple of my cars with no ill affect, you just have to get a oil catch can and run new fuel lines to the fuel rails. You can then remove alot of the stuff on the throttle body. The throttle body mod consists of removing some throttle plates. This will give you slightly better throttle response. You can also remove the thermowax, whitch is prone to cause problems, but it will cause it to not idle well while the car is cold. Some people remove the BAC valve, it is the thing that has coolant lines running to it. This is what idles up the engine when the A/c and power steering is on. With all that said, if you search, the is a post by NZConvertible that has a diagram that is very helpful.

WRONG....it depends on the model and year for the mirrors. if your car is a true TurboII, then the passenger side mirror is the original. ALL TII's(87-91), GTUs and S5(89-91) RX-7's have the aero mirrors. All other RX-7s have the ugly plain mirrors.
go here for emissions removal...just pick your year and model from the menu and it has it step by step.

You mean remove the twin-scroll flap and actuator. The solenoid valve is on the solenoid valve rack with the others. Smarter would be to remove the twin-scroll solenoid valve and check valve from the rack and replumb them with rubber vac line to keep the system operational.
You sound like you’re implying that removing the enuission controls will that allow you to do the TB mod, which is incorrect. Emissions removal and the double-throttle system removal are completely unrelated. You don't need to do one before you can do the other.
The thermowax is not prone to causing problems. Not until you remove it anyway...

Onece again, i gave him the pros and cons of removing the thermowax. So he can decide to leave it alone or trash it. I had it removed on one of my cars, and had no problems. You just had to give it a little gas when it was cold.

That is a couple compaired to how many there was originally. No?
I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just listing all the things that he remove to symplify things.
There is no point in pulling the upper plenum and removing the emmissions and not doing the TB mod in my opinion, but thats why i gave him the pros and cons. Unlike you on the other hand who is just giving the cons. As i stated, he will see better throttle response. So why would he not want to do it?

Don't take this as any sort of personal attack; I'm just trying to make sure the OP and others looking for help get the right info.
