OK my friend just got a 96 rhd rx7...we're trying to put a boost gauge in it and CAN'T FIND A DAMN HOLE IN THE FIREWALL! Does anyone have any clues and/or suggestions? Also please don't tell me to search because I'm pressed for time right now as I am about to go to work.

 

Wouldn't expect them to vary greatly from LHD in that regard, there's at least one bung in the wheel well and another on the leading edge of the sill which should allow access to the cabin without resorting to powertools. Parts manual should give you an idea of location.

 

OK thanks, we'll check tomorrow.

 

you can always drill your own, not too hard either.

 

the holes in the firewall are all damn near impossible to find/route through. your best bet is to cut a hole through the steering wheel boot. it wont hurt anything as long as you use a pocket knife or something of that nature. you might need to remove the compression tube(elbow) in order to get better access to the hole. i did it the second time without removing it.

i had to tap the same place twice and i just pushed a set of needle nose plyers through and had a friend stick my ebc adapter in the mouth of the plyers. then i just griped and pulled. came through after a few tries.
