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.

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?)

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

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

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 Again, thanks for all the great info and pics damian!
