Will taking off my air pump effect my performance. Also if I do take it off how has everyone else wired open there 5th and 6th port. please help I'm a not a newby to rotaries but I'm no Ted!

 

no Ted?
LOL

are you still running cats? if your answer is yes...you will ruin your cats in a short period of time by taking it off.

This has been discussed (both questions) uuhhmmm.....8 MILLION times. The search function is at the top of each page. all the way on the right. try it out.

BTW.
off to the second gen forum

 

First off, keep the 6-ports & VDI working if you can. Wiring them open costs you low end torque. Unless you are racing all the time, that's a big deal. It's nice to be able to make at 60mph uphill pass without having to drop to 3rd and make a fuss (as my wife would say). Of course when she is not along, I go to 3rd

 

I'm assuming you have a '89-91. If so, then yes, it will hurt your performance drastically. Keep it working properly.

BTW - I think RETed is on vacation.

 

The couple of lbs lighter and HP that you would gain from removing the airpump would not offset the low end loss of torque that you would also gain
