s4 cuts out if past 25% throttle
Ok so i have an 87 mazda rx7 gtu, 13b 5,000 on rebuild, i removed emmissions via. block off plates, and i removed the secondary butterfly's along with cold start system.
now i drive my car and if i give it more than 25% throttle it cuts out and starts dieing unless i go back to 25% throttle, i do eventually get to speed but it is very annoying speeding up with only 25% throttle being used...
what could this be any help appreciated

well, when you pull the secondary butterflies you have to be more delicate with your throttle control, because the secondaries are there so that you can floor it and not bog terribly, so when they're removed you can't do that anymore. that might be what you're experiencing, it might not, but I think it's a good guess.

Hailers is the expert on RX7 electrical and computer stuff, but from my limited experience and understanding:
s4 TPS isn't a fullrange TPS, and doesn't have much effect on fuel delivery anyway, other than opening the butterflies that allow more air through the vane-MAF which DOES determine the amount of fuel to add.
Since the S4 TPS isn't a fullrange TPS, if you're guessing 25% based on pedal travel, you're probably beyond 100% on the TPS anyway. My bet would be that your secondary injectors aren't coming online, and what you're thinking of as 25% pedal travel has more to do with the 3800 rpm hesitation/brickwall effect.
If it ISN'T that, then I'd have to go with restricted fuel flow, as in bad filter or underdriving fuel pump.

through the vane-MAF

Look in the Fuel and Emmisions Control System of the Factory Service Manual here

Not at all. Those secodnary "choke" plates as I call them are there for the safty of the engine while its cold. I believe you wont be able to go past 4000 rpm with those shut. After the engine is warmed up, I forget exactly what temp they open at, they are open all day long. So removing them will not cause any issues at all.

We have a AFM not a MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor
I don't mind being corrected, but it would be nice to be wrong first.

Oh, and Speed of Life is correct on the secondary throttle plates, they open with a slight delay after the primaries, even when cold, and I've gone beyond 4,000 with them and without them, cold, with no problems.

That is not what I've heard, and I cut out at 5500RPM versus 6500RPM when it's cold and my tach may be reading low.
If you check the operation of the secondary plates, they simply open along with the primaries, but slower, so as to allow the intake to adjust without choking the motor at any time.
You're getting confused between MAF (Mass Air Flow) and MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure). An MAF is any sensor that determines the mass or volume of air going into an engine. What the RX7 has is a Vane MAF, a type of Mass Air Flow sensor. You can call it an AFM if you like, but Mazda themselves calls it a MAF when they use it on the B series engines, and the RX7 MAF and B6 engine MAF are interchangable, even down to the connector.

Looking up either one goes to the same place because, like I said, they are two names for the same thing. Both are sensors used to determine the amount of air into the engine.
And yes, Speed Of Life IS correct, if you didn't nitpick every damn word in everyone else's sentence. I realized what he meant and gave him a little bit of credit for not being a total idiot. Even if you don't think the rest of us are as smart as you, maybe you could extend some of us the same courtesy?

The vacuum diaphram for the secondary choke plates usually is bad and doesn't hold much vacuum to close the choke plates as far as they will go. They don't completly block the TB bores. Their is a delay valve used for the choke plates so they open up slowly when cold but while warm they never shut.

Actually he is not, they don't open SLOWER then open later like you said. Im talking about the choke plates not the throttle plates.
After the engine is warmed up the choke plates never close so they never have to open.
Like I said above, a lot of times the diaphram can't hold vacuum no more so the choke plates never close to their maximum. When they are closed to their fullest extent, they do not fully close off the 2ndary bores. Driving the car without the airflow running through the 2ndarys when needed, power drops off at around 1800 rpm.
If he was talking about the throttle plates (not the choke plates) then he heard wrong.

Seems we are talking about 2 different parts as one.
While technically that IS true, as soon as you push the pedal down, at least in MY car, the tach starts to rise
because given the way the system works, 25% throttle in and of itself doesn't mean anything in terms of fuel.
Hook up a tach to the engine or use the stock tach (which is not vary accurate) and a volt meter to the AFM. Pick a RPM and and quickly go from the RPM/Throttle you are at, to 50% or 65% or 100% or somewhere in between and you will see that at the same rpm, you will have different amounts of airflow through the AFM at the same rpm. Its easier to do this while in 5th gear btw, this way the engine can't rev up right a way.
