RX7 Gen3 13B-REW - So many vaccum hoses! Can I remove any?
 

Hi there,

Last week I purchased a 1993 Mazda RX7 13B-REW Twin Turbo.
Today I was replacing some of the rubber vacuum hoses with silicone hoses as they were hard and cracked due to their age and extensive heat in the engine bay.
When I was removing the standard rubber hose from the "Switching Solenoid Valve" I accidently snapped the top nipple off.
(Can be seen in this vacuum diagram, solenoid C: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...umDiagram1.jpg )

I did some research and it seems the solenoid rack is known as a rats nest. What solenoids, valves, hoses etc can be safely removed that are not required? Is this solenoid required?

Thankyou very much in advance, Paolo

Look in the 3 gen faq section there is a lot if information there.

I'll take a look.. Sorry for the noob question, I'm new to RX7's and new to this website.. Thanks again
