water trick

I did the the water treatment today. It worked well. My big prob. that is still presistant is flooding. Do these tings just flood in the cold? (87' N/A 13b)?

flooding has to do with a couple of things, from ECU, somewhat faulty injectors, bad grounding, etc etc etc.
But on quick fix to it all is a cut off switch to the fuel pump for when starting and stopping the car/engine. I'll search around for you, hold on a minute.

and what do you mean by water trick? like atf but water? or different.

The water trick is just like the atf trick but instead of leting it sit you just run water through your dynamic chamber vacuum and let 2 liters run at 3-4 thousand rpms. the steam breaks up carbon but does not harm catsor oxgen sensors like atf does.

I just don't like the idea of water going through the engine like that so I would just take off the exhaust manifold so the cats were ok. Or actually just get rid of the cats anyways.

Well getting rid of your cats will help the most. Look into getting the bonez racepipe from www.rx7.com That will replace your 2 precats & your main cat. Then you can buy a catback from where ever(www.corksport.com www.rx7.com www.rx7store.net etc) or you can buy a universal muffler(s) & take it to a shop and have them do some custom piping.

You can also get a header but is louder. Getting rid of the cats is the main increase in power. I hope you don't have emmission testing-if so disregard everything I wrote.
