Hi

I have been doing my first hosejob for a while now... Anyway I have been searching a lot on the rx7club.com and haven't really found what I was searching for...

First question:

The restrictor pills can I take the old one out of the lines and put them in the new silicone lines?

Or do I have to talk to some mazda dealer? Don't really want to do that cuz no mazda dealer here want to help with the rx7's...

Just re-use the pills, they don't "wear out".

 

Make sure you don't "mix" the pills when placing them into the new hoses. They are not identical.

ie:.. the wastegate hose pill ONLY goes into the WG hose.,...the Pre-Control hose pill only goes into the P-C hose. Otherwise you'll have abnormal boost issues.

 

Rynberg is always giving people bad info. Ignore his advice, and follow my advice:

Just re-use the pills, they don't "wear out".

 

Second Question:

I have just moved garage and now I can't find my CRV valve...(yeah I know -dumbass ) Can I use the bov instead of the crv? I have an aftermarket hks bov that I am intending to use instead of the mazdabov...

While they are similar, they do have different operating parameters. It would be ok to run the stock BOV in the place of teh CRV for a while, but I would urge you get get a real CRV if you plan on staying sequential.

 

I also had something to add. I was goign to go get the pills from Napa, do I need to get two different sizes... and how do I know which ones to replace with what? I figure they might be able to cross reference the mazda part with a pill they may carry. Are these things universal, or do I need a specific pill(s), if so.. what specs do I need?

Thanks

hey dhalen, if you're ever in AZ, I've got an extra set of pills cuz I got carb jets and you have to buy them in pairs.
