What are these for?

I'm in the middle of my single turbo conversion (from non-sequential twins). However, whereas these bits were connected to the intake before, where do I connect them to now, if at all?



They're the bits in the circles at the top and they sit just behind the lower inlet manifold on the top of the engine, either side of the pulsation dampner thingy

Yes, those inject oil into the rotor housings. The nozzles are vacuum operated.

Based on that then, I presume that its quite important that they are connected. Where else can I connect them to?

If you look at the original vacuum diagram, you'll see that they are sourced from the primary intake. So, you should source yours from your intake and then T them into that line for both oil injectors.

Yeah, but thats the problem. As i'm now running the single, I don't have an intake with the nipples on?

Check this thread (ignore the IC piping):

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/just-finished-my-single-installation-405359/

The worst case is that if you cap them off. That will give you some extra oil entering the chambers during shut down. It will cause the car to smoke when you start it to burn off that extra oil that entered the chamber at shut down, but no other real problems by capping them.
