Piecing an engine back together...
Just purchased an '88 Vert, and part of the engine is missing, but how much of it is missing Im not sure. Im trying to see if I can this use link to the craigslist ad, to show the picture from in the engine bay. It's the bottom right picture. It's looks like at least the upper intake manifold, but anything else that anybody might notice?

wow damn.. looks like a perfect candidate for a carb conversion.
looks to need uim parts, + some vacuum hoses, and injectors... erm.. check fsm for a blow up version of the uim. i think they should have it. it will show u a lot more than what we can tell you.
while its there you can always remove ratsnest crap.

The EGR valve looks new. Maybe the guy took the upper intake off thinking this was going to fix a problem with the motor. Just something to think about. Maybe it wasn't able to pass emissions or maybe it was having idle problems. You are missing the upper intake manifold, dynamic chamber, throttle body, and intake duct to throttle body adapter, intake duct, coolant hose, and vacuum hose. I also see missing fuel hoses and a missing pulsation damper. That can be replaced with a $10.39 banjo bolt from summit (12mm × 1.25 banjo bolt).
I'd say if you want a good diagram, go find another RX-7 and have a look at it. You will see all the sensors and locations and such. Also, there are some extra items on the throttle body that you need to pay attention to. Thermowax, BAC, TPS, and cabling.
Best of luck! I'd love to see the after pictures when you have it running again.

Hmm, well when I checked the carfax too, it said that the last time that inspection was attempted it did not pass as well. I do have some parts left over from the past part out. But as far as exact detail, I dont know the terms of all the parts yet. What does a pulsation damper look like? Here's a shot of the UIM that I still have in the garage:

GD you're right! Ok, so I gotta ask was there a difference in intake at all on a vert as opposed to a coupe? The coupe I parted out earlier this year had a different setup?

Jesus, am I on crack or everybody's blind...?
In the pics. from the car missing the upper intake, dyn. chamber etc. look at the area around the primary fuel rail? Can you say FIRE? As in pulsation damper fucked up and caused a fire. Would explain the new parts and newish looking hoses, etc.
White rabbit - you're missing your seconday injectors and rail. the little vac hose behind the thermostat cover cap should go to your FPR (fuel pressure regulator). Fuel hoses attach to bottom of FPR and at the back to the fuel hose from the primary rail. Use new rubbers around the injectors. The rest of the stuff you probably know...i.e. intake snorkel, AFM, etc.
