Ok, I am thinkin bout doing this, and fairly new to the RX7....

When I do this, the site (http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/non-sequential.html) makes it sound like they leave all the solenoids hooked up still, but I was under the impression that you could strip them out. Who is right???

Also, when you do this do you not need ANY block-off plates cause on the other site they were mentioned. I am just trying to figure out how easy this really is cause rerunning the vacuum lines like in the pics on here seems easy, but the other site makes it sound harder, do I have to do everything that is on the other site to do this???

Just trying to get myself unconfused

You can put resistors in the place of the solinoids, or if you have a p-fc you don't have to worry about it. I wanted my engine to look alot cleaner too....so i ripped em all out, and order'd a block off kit from the Rx7store. CJ

What size caps are they????

3/16 right???

I started this tonight (since car isnt safely drivable after the wreck till i fix it). Now I just need to get all the gaskets and stuff to do it. I did break a solenoid though, i hope it was one i didnt need .

So how many solenoids are there total??? and I just put one of those 330 resistors in EVERYONE??? Or which do I keep, I dont need to worry bout emissions and ****.

Thanx for your help, as that rats nest is a mess .

Ok, I have made the choice to go the full montey, and do my non-sequential completely, no turning back. So far I have port matched the UIM with the LIM, ported the Turbo manifold to a smooth finish, and a ported the wastegate. A couple questions before I go on.

1. Can I remove the precontrol bridge on the secondary turbo manifold? Will it F#@k up the secondary flow, or will it make the secondary spool too fast?

2. I have had a thought of using the pressure chamber in between the turbo and wastegate actuator to possibly delay the wastegate to help lower rpm boost. Any comments? I don't like the idea of two valves to control boost, and the chamber seems like a nice clean approach.

3. I have a 9.5 flywheel, gutted precat, M2 exhaust, high flow intake, and stock main cat. Will I have a hard time controlling boost to 10 PSI?

Ok, only a few more questions (car is torn apart and i believe that I am bout 80% done).

1. Where car I get blocking plates???? Like the ACV or whatever, cause while I have the engine apart might as well get rid of that too. Could I cut one myself??? What other plates would I need???? There is a lot of stuff on the back of the UIM that I dont know if they get vacuum lines again, or are those some of the things blocked that get taken off???

2. In the below diagram, there is a yellow line that seems to go nowhere, in ur diagram there isnt even a hose, can I take the hose off and jsut cap that nipple???



3. Is that ALL the vacuum line needed is the ones in the diagram???? Cause I need to know what other ones that might not be pictured that I might need, cause there is some like on the UIM that i dont know if I take off or not.

4. People talk bout porting the wastegate, how NECESSARY is that??? I dont really have time to do that now, trying to get the car running so i can get the wrecked stuff fixed, but will be parking the car for the winter, can I wait till then??? Will it really hurt anything or do you just say to port it so that it performs better???

5. Double checkin again, i dont need ANY solenoids right??? what bout that one in the diagram marked "solenoid valve purge control"??? Cause that one was broken before I started (I can honestly say I didnt break that one ).


Tomorrow comes capping the rest of the stuff, figuring what else i need to remove/keep (that is what you are helping with), and adding all the resistors to the solenoids harnesses, and then reassembly, filling of fluids, and PRAYING TO GOD she fires up and runs correctly .

One more thing I forgot, early in the post you said that you can take out the FP solenoid and just connect the vacuum line from the UIM to the FPR, but on like page three or so you said LIM, is it the UIM or the LIM that I would connect directly to the FPR????

I am guessing your first thing was right, the UIM but just wanted to make sure.

Ben, you can get block off plates at the Rx-7store. (There is a little add near the top of this page.) Cost is 69.00 for the nesscary ones. You can cut em out...but i don't have the time, and i'm supporting the forum.

These are the only vacuum lines you need, except for the fuel pressure regulator one. That one should come off the regulator, and go to the only nipple that faces the rear of the car, on LIM. (Yes, the LIM) Like it states just about everywhere...make shure this bugger stays on there....otherwise, you'll be putting a motor in your car very soon.

I would get the wastegate done asap...but if your carefull, and keep an eye on the boost....you should be fine. Anytime you see boost creep, i'd back off. I'm having mine done for $25, and a local machine shop. Should be bored out to 1.24"

I don't know about the purge control. Mine is still in one peice...so I'm going to use it.

Spooledup7.....I have no idea. Remember...I was the one asking you the questions.

That yellow line should be capped off. It goes to the black pressure on top of the motor.

Hope I typed this out fast enough, before someone else states the same thing, and I look like a weirdo.

Hope this helps, CJ

All knowing I am. (yoda's voice)

I still want someone to try it out (plumb the pressure tank in between the turbo and wastegate) to buffer the wastegate reaction. I will try it, but it's going to be a couple weeks.

I have a photo on my site of how to port the wastegate. The material to be removed is shown with a red cirlce drawn on the photo.

Go to How-to --> Turbos --> Wastegate Porting

Oops, sorry, I goofed the path. Should have been: Upgrades --> Engine --> Turbos --> Wastegate Porting.

What about the yellow line that i mentioned with the pic (toward the bottom off of the TT assembly), where does that go to??? Or does it get plugged??? Also, what about the double throttle actuator right next to the TB??? Does it get a vacuum line again (right now I have none connected to it, and it runs.

Got everything back together and went to take it for a test run but didnt get outta the driveway before the "add coolant" light came on and started buzzin. I think i forgot to clamp down a damn hose so thoguht that I would ask a few more questions before i took her apart and put her back together.

Thanx,

Ben

If you re-read my post it says that the yellow line should be capped off. It goes from the Y-pipe to the black pressure chamber. Cap it off at the Y-pipe.

I'm allready have a block off plate for the double throttle. Get rid of the plates atleast.....

can someone please post a pic of the line that is supposed to run from the fuel pressure regulator to the lower intake manifold. pardon me for seeming ingorant, i want this to be right the fist time, as i have to go to atlanta on thursday, and NEED my car running RIGHT.....

also, as far as the resistors are concerned, how are they to be put in place? do you just cut the connectors out, and then like solder up a 330ohm resistor, and heat shrink it? i was wondering this because of all of the connectors have multiple wires in them....

help, please while my car is in a million pieces thanks to the mazda dealership screwing me all week on my thermosensor. tuesday will be the day of reckoning.....

also, are the block off plates that the rx7 store has to be used with this set up? if so, i am going to next day them on monday....

could someone post a pic or diagram of where the fuel pressure regulator going to the lower intake manifold.
is the purge control necessay???? could i just connect the check valve to the manifold.??? sorry if the question seems dumb??? i am new at it. thanks.

Ben93RX7

Whoops, I guess you did answer that, sorry . Well, might take it apart one more time to try and get the second turbo working (still not working, but think there might be a few hoses in the wrong places and such. I have a full diagram now (that I didnt have before, that show me that I hooked a few things up to places i prob shouldnt have.

Well, looks like she will be torn apart again this week. LOL

Wish me luck!!!!

hey ryan...

how about that email?
louisl@bravobuzz.com

check my above post, i am going to be taking out the rack this afternoon...i need a few more things in my head befor i feel confident to do this straight through.....


thanks again...

i am still looking for the place that you said run the line from the FPR to the LIM. do not know exactly where it is supposed to go on the actual LIM....

if it is cool, i am gonna give you a holler again this afternoon when i get off of work.....i also have a question about the resistors...

thanks again...

oops. i jumped too kwickly.....

is it the one under the "12mm" bolt? if so, coollllll.....
