Rats Nest removal.

Ok I tried the search funtion and this is what I get: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/search...by=&sortorder=

All of these are for TII's I have an N/a and want to throw out the rats nest to clean things up a bit. If anyone has a link to a site with a writeup or a link to a thread I would appreciate it.

Also I know i need Fuel lines and some vacume hoses for this mod. What else is needed? I have already removed the ACV, air pump, I plan on blocking off the EGR valve and the coldstart thing.

The rat's nest is the mess of hard and soft vacuum lines that lives between the top of the motor and the intake manifolding.

AFAIK, there's not one established writeup for the N/As. I suppose if you've done an emissions removal before, it's not that hard - I'd just dig in and follow the TII steps as best you can. My writeup (for an S5 TII) is at http://www.team140.net in the Technical Articles section.

Study the EFI chapter of the FSM. The key word here is study. All the info you need is in there.
