Why do you want to keep the AWS? It's pretty much useless IMO. You don't need to run any new fuel lines if you are just removing emissions/rats nest/vac rack. I think the best way is to just remove the UIM, figure out what each component does and get rid of anything you will never need again. The vacuum lines are really simple once you've removed all the solenoids that aren't needed.

I'd give you a hand if you were closer.

 

so i took the FC out tonight and damn does it feel nice. pulled really hard at only part throttle and 10 psi. very very very fun.

 

you need to stop by and give me a ride never been in a second or 3rd gen. only rx7 ive been in is my own.

 

definitely, and i have never been in a first gen! we'll have to do some test rides at the meet. exactly 6 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes away.

 

hah xD nice Christian xD

hey you around on the 21st? were gonna have a barbeque/clip break down at my place

 

i'll be back at school by then

 

awwww. skip a day!
itll be worth it!

Ben, your invited too, lemme know if you can make it

 

not with the rx7. as of right now car is on jack stands.
4 link removed, new shocks and springs going in (respeed coil over kit)
front end some stuff going in all new bushings,
front sway bar(respeed).

the ball joints and respeed **** is in the mail.
in a week or two, iam ordering the racing beat header and mini presilencer and brake lines. iam keeping my ebay carbon fiber muffler on doesn't sound bad right now and shoots sick flames with the stock mani.

also iam waiting on my gilmer drive kit from down under.
need a e fan
oil temp and pressure gauges to go with the water temp i got.can the pressure gauge be mounted in the car.

so my car should for summer

should i post a full list of my setup ?

 

If Ben doesn't have a ride to Gensai's on the 21st I'll pick Ben up.

My idle needs to be rock solid. Is removing the AWS the same as the BAC valve? I've also heard rumors of the orange solonoid being important for AWS. Can I keep the thermowax in my throttle body or do I have to do the throttle body mod too? I just want to remove the 3 lines that come from the ACV...

 

so does any one even want to know what my full setup is going to be for the summer, i know its a first gen.

 

you have a second gen right ill help find a guide.


i dont know if this is true for second or 3rd gens but if you remove the smog pump/air pump and the acv. you dont gain any thing from removing the rats nest just a cleaner setup.

 

ok, so i had my first boostcreep free ride in my car tonight! it was amazing! i scared the hell out of my sister....she's a wimp. but the car is fast(to me its fast). i'm going to be in tewksbury tomorow evening ben if you want a ride in 2nd gen. i'm going to visit jordan(the guy i bought the car from) and give him a ride. we could come by your house if you will be home. some time around 6 or 7. send me your phone number if you will be around and we can come by and see your car too.

 

Actually there is a benefit. Less useless vacuum lines to fail. That's something to gain in my book. There is a sticky in the 2nd gen archives but it's vague with no pictures. Rotary Ressurection's site has pictures but he has the engine out of the car and removes like literally everything.

 

iam luckey that my rats nest removal will be easy. pm sent

 

yo ben you coming on the 21st?

 

i dont know yet ill let you knwo soon tho.


can you guys help me find a e-fan for my car.

21.5 x 12 is the core size that is need to be covered.

 

I gave up on curing the idle surging years ago. Even with a perfect TPS and the BAC/AWS intact I had surging sometimes. Now without any of that crap, plus bypassed themowax mine will surge until the ambient temp gets high enough to heat up the thermowax. After that it idles perfect. It's not ideal, but there's always an issue with getting these cars to idle right.

I think I'll get a video today of the Gilmers and post it up here.

 

how hard was it to install iam worried about messing **** up on the e shaft pulley all so where can i go to get new ball joints pressed in and the old ones removed.

 

Everything bolted on fine for me. It helps to have air tools of course. I had to open up the holes on the water pump pulley, not a big deal. Not sure if it's the same on yours, but on the 13BT crank pulley you just have to remove the four small bolts.

 

any one know where i can get my ball joints pressed in should be on my door step Monday.

 

as far as the aws goes, it's really it's own little system. i have removed it on a couple throttle bodys before and it's really easy. cleans things up a ton and get's rid of that damn system.

 

Ben, i have a big press at my house, im not sure if it'll work for ball joints but i dont see why not.

 

meh im bored now >.>

i wish my 7 was running... i wanna go driving.... >.>

 

Here's a vid of my Gilmer drive. The quality sucks and I didn't feel like waiting for it to stop surging.

it really does sound like a super charger doesnt it...
