Talking Fd3s Rats Nest delete with pictures?!

Goodmorning! I am having the hardest time figuring out what to delete from my rats nest. I am pulling the motor to get her street ported with BNR turbos and I want a clean look. I know this question has been ask before but I cannot find the post covering this information. I really do appreciate time.

I ran them in my other FD3s and loved it. I plan to go sequential this time.

the really neat thing about the 1993-1995 solenoid rack is that its modular. its made up of pieces bolted together, and its actually done so that the emissions or the sequential stuff unbolts, but you keep the other stuff, which is pretty nice.

part B though is you say cleaner look, and how much time do you spend looking under the intake? is it more than the time it would take to remove stuff that is working?

I don't think anyone has a step-by-step. Get the vacuum diagrams and study.

You have to have some sort of aftermarket ECU to do this, which I'm assuming you do if you are going BNR's.

Get a block off plate kit from Banzai Racing. Don't remove the ISC, it works just fine and it's not in the way. You can remove EGR, air pump, ACV, AWS and the solenoids associated with them.

If you have the engine out, I STRONGLY recommend having it on a proper engine stand with a rotary adapter and doing all this on the stand. Trying to do it in the car is a headache.

If you're pulling the engine, it's a good time to go through the nest to remove parts you don't need and replace the aging hoses with (good quality) silicone... you have to decide what you want to keep/remove based on your build requirements. Does it need to pass emissions (if not, can delete ACV, air pump, EGR components and solenoids)? Do you care about protecting the engine from being run hard before its fully warmed up or do you want to get rid of stuff that might inhibit airflow (can remove AWS, double throttle, etc)? Are you running an aftermarket ECU and can control the idle with the idle control valve (can choose to delete coolant line running through TB)? There are pros/cons to keeping or removing the various components and this could vary for every build.

Decide what you want to keep/remove and then study the diagrams. There's really not much of a short-cut you can make. Dive in and ask questions on here if you get stuck. Good luck!
