Damn, I go take a shit and ejmack1 beats me to the punch before I reply. jdhuegel1, shame on you for mis-informing. This almost as bad as the time I told ejmack1 that the recall fan relay was the AT-ECU.
Anyways, this is where the EGR is: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...postid=1038782 Here is why we eliminate it: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...postid=1186711 |
hey focker i forgot about that, and I never have found out where the auto ecu is located...
|
How much is the kit? I am tring to save money on parts and can make my own plates I am just trying to learn which I can block off.
I wont to get rid of everything that I dont need. I am not concerned with emisions. Thanks for your help |

How can you not be concerned with emissions when you live in the people's republic of California?
Since you already have a PowerFC, you can potentially eliminate a lot of crap without worrying about any ill-effects. With a midpipe, your ACV, airpump and a bunch of solenoids immediately become useless. Other stuff you can eliminate: TB coolant lines cold start cam elimination ISC elimination AWS half the solenoids on the rack etc... |
Thanks thats what I was getting to. I wasn't researching anything yet and the exhaust carbon in the port made me beleive that it was EGR. Thanks for the insight. I am getting rid of a lot of stuff. Thanks again
OH yeah. Emissions. My car is not registered in this state. (Thank God) |

does the ypipe have to come off to get the egr off for block off?
|
I would say yes...to make things alot easier
|
The EGR block off plate I have is not thick enough to retain the OE nuts without using 8 washers. Am I supposed to remove the stud and use the bolts provided with my block off kit? Also, can I reuse the old gasket?
|
Use bolts. Skip the gasket and just use some RTV.
|
To remove the studs just put the nuts back to back and back out the inner nut? What is the stud thread size/pitch?
|
I just use some pliers to take the stud off or use a drill lock it on to the stud and pull the trigger.
|
I'd prefer not to mangle them incase I need to revert back.
|
yeah...that first pic isn't the egr.
anyway, i ghetto-fabbed a block-off plate. it worked. when i pulled my motor for porting/rebuild i bought a block-off plate kit so i could get rid of everything that wasn't needed. http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0031_large.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0032_large.jpg |
Looks like you just used two oversized nuts as a large washers (rather than stacking washers like I did).

M6 Pitch 1, most likely. I already have a million of them, but sometimes stud use odd threads. Ok. Thanks!

I am about to remove my ACV and EGR (bought the block off kit from Banzai). What do I do with the open vacuum lines? Do I just put a nipple on the other end and zip tie it to close it off?
