I need some opinion from you guys. I got a rx7 3 month ago as a project car. My goal is a 400 to 450hp streetable weekend car. My car is basically stock right now. except for a petti downpipe. I just ordered some vacuum hose and block off plate to do the Turbo simplification. but i just spent the last couple days reading the forum and studying the simplification diagram. I heard that it is not recommended to take off all the emission devices before i got a stand alone ecu like PFC and a mid pipe. also I want to go with single like gt35/40r. So do you guys think i should even do the simplification? or i should just save up the money buying a PFC and full exhaust first then go with the single conversion and just leave the car like that for now? Cause I want to spend my time and money more efficiently. You know a lot of people spent too much money and time then they end up with something else. so I want to be in the right path. Thanks

 

If you don't have boost problems, it makes no sense to mess with the vacuum lines.

 

MahJik you are on the forum all the time. yes my car has no boost problem, i just read the forum sticky that's one of the reliability mod. So i just considering it. Also i'm on the market for some gauges, any recommendation that will match closely with the stock gauge? I don't want to spend a grand to buy some gauges like defi. Thank Mahjik you helped me everytime

 

IMO, the phrase "reliability" is subjective. If the car runs fine and has no problems, then it already is reliable. You can create more problems than you'll solve by doing some of the reliability suggestions before they are needed.

As far as gauges, IMO, just pick some that you like visually and fit your budget. I prefer the Greddy gauges for a few reasons:

1. Price
2. They have peak/hold/warning functions
3. They typically have imperial/english units of measurement

They aren't the most attractive gauges in the world, but then again my car is not for show.

 

Ok. I guess I have to take care the AWS. Thanks
