turbo simplification pics
 
I removed the airpump (installed a midpipe) and though id do the simplification while i was in there:

Here is one of rx7store.net's block off plates:

I used the bottom part of the old solenoid rail as the foundation for the solenoid remaining after the simplification.

I have the stock fuel system so i kept the fpr solenoid, here is apic of it part way though the rerouting:

You used silicone tubing for a coolant hose? Unorthodox.

damian 02-26-04 11:49 PM

hey jonski, ...by the way thanks for all ur great posts on the simplification, those helped me a great deal, especially on the fpr deal...

silicone is fine for coolant from my limited understanding, it is a no-no for oil and gas.... i run evens at zero pressure so the only issue is heat, at silicone easliy takes the heat level of the coolant.

am i wrong?

heck, my radiator hoses are silicone :-)

Where did you get the resistors for the solenoid plugs? Or do you have PFC in that car, (can't remember between the 2 you have.) I tried radio shack and they looked at me like I was from space!! " I've never seen a resistor that rating" BTW: Looks better with the pressure tank under the UIM. Aybody had any issues with the tank do to the heat it is now exposed to?( I.E. : cracking or melting?)

damian 02-27-04 01:30 AM

hey bigisland7,
i have the pfc in both cars so no resistors needed...all worked great so far :-)

let me g'ahead and rate this thread too ;)

GOOD WORK.

I like emissions, and like to say I'm close to 400bhp while passing :D

hehehe :-) ... again :-)

dam 400hp, nice :-)

Where did you get the silicone radiator hoses?

jimlab 02-27-04 12:17 PM

Just one question... why yellow?!? :D

damian 02-27-04 12:20 PM

hehehe Jim,..... yellow is cool!!!

on any other color I would not use yellow, but it contrasts with the MB very well, and im kinda artsy fartsy so i like it.

"Contrasts" is right. As for the "fartsy" thing... too much information. :p:

damian 02-27-04 12:29 PM

hehehe :-)

Actually, I trust Damians artistic talent, if he can make those awesome videos, he can tell what colo fits his car best. Kudos Damian!

damian 02-27-04 01:16 PM

thanks :-)

I was wondering u know that vac line going no where on the simplification diagram i'm curious where it goes to? in the simplification diagram it looks it should go to the lim where it has those 4 nipples are. How did you hook the pressure chamber up?

damian 02-27-04 01:35 PM

i left the the pressure chamber hooked to where it gets pressure in stock form, down by the y pipe area.

what hose goes nowhere on the diagram?

Fatman0203 02-27-04 01:53 PM

damian where did you get those checkvalves and the inline splitter with 3 nipples?

damian 02-27-04 02:01 PM

inline splitter with 3 nipples got from a local napa autoparts store, the checkvalves are from mcmaster car, here is my thread on it:

Fatman0203 02-27-04 02:15 PM

Which simplification did you do the one on the Rob Robinette's site?

HobbeZ 02-27-04 02:17 PM

if you look on the simplification diagram there is one hose coming off the ypipe that's going no where

HobbeZ 02-27-04 02:20 PM

nm nm i understand now haha foolish me, I'm guess one of the sets of 4 nipples on the LIM (goes right through it) gets plugged off because the elimination of the EGR?

It says thats supposed to go to the UIM, read under his directions.

yeah, that sounds right since my car did not have that lim nipple, my car is a 95 so it has no egr.

RX7SpiritR 02-27-04 03:44 PM

Very very good damian! I want to do the non-seq simplification myself. I give you mad props for doing it yourself with great info back to us. I just don't have the time, spec, or real tools do really do this myself. Someday I will be able to do anything on my car myself :p: Again, thanks for all the great info and pics damian! :D

damian 02-27-04 03:59 PM

thanks rx7spiritR
