hello iam new to rx7 club i just go a 89 fc n/a vert and i want to remove the secondary air pump (has no cat and a cone air filter) the vacuum line goes to the air pump then it goes in to the air control valve then to the cat


so if i remove the air pump is it ok the have the vacuum leak at the air control valve or can i remove the acv all together

thanks jake

 

Do not remove the air pump on an S5 NA. The air pump supplies pressure for the aux. port (6PI) and VDI actuators. Together these systems are responsible for about 40HP.

This page has info (from the FSMs) on the aux. port system for both S4s and S5s. The VDI actuator is controlled similarly. The ECU energizes a solenoid, which directs air pressure to the actuator. http://mazdarx7.iougs.com/intakeair.shtml

 

thanks ill keep it on cuz iam turning it in to a autocross car i want to take some of the emissions off and ac pretty much any thing thats not necessary i want to remove but iam kipping p/s thanks i thought it just supplied air to the cat to warm it up so thanks

 

can i remove the hose from the back of i acv that goes to the cat since i have no cat its kind of just hanging there and it has full exhast and header street port full suspension sway bars strut tower bars omp is disabled but still on the car should i get block off plates for omp and i have to use premix in the gas

 

you would have to your ECU chipped from www.pocketlogger.com to remove the OMP

 

thanks that helped a lot

 

You can remove the hose to the split air pipe (from the ACV). Just don't remove the ACV itself; it has a nipple on it that directs air from the pump to the 6PI/VDI actuators.

Without a chipped ECU, removing the OMP puts the engine into limp mode.

 

On a side-note.... it will help in the future not to post paragraph length sentences, and to use appropriate punctuation. If you move to some sections of this forum, knowledgable members might not bother to decipher and just ignore them. That decreases your chances of getting good answers like above.

 

First thread I look at from illinois and its a fellow rx7 vert nice where you from man. I got a 87 vert not to long ago and i will be going the same route as you except i take the drift detour.lol Maybee in the spring we can meet up somewhere. Let me know what else you got in store for your 7 I'm doing the turbo drivetrain swap maybee together we can learn something about these vert's

 

iam pretty much going for autocross i want a roll cage very bad. i need to find a t2 diff then iam going to leave it for a while. save up for a swap not sure what iam going to do.

 

looks like both of us are looking for the same thing are you doing a turbo drivetrain swap as well

 

what part of IL are u from? im from buffalo grove

 

yes i'am going to do t2 drive train. i live in joliet

 

Im a third FC owner in IL from the Orland Park Area, I just got a 1987 FC NA

 

sickkkk im from darien right in the middle

 

got my 7 fix and took it for a drive and it was fun. did some drifts and donuts

 

I wish I could get mine out of the car holder right now it's snowed in till spring .
