So.. Here I am, all the way up here in bellingham. I know of one other person in the area who owns a 13b-rew, but he doesnt use it, he did an LS swap in his FD.

I'm putting the thing in my FC. however, somewhere in there, I broke some of the vacuum stuff. Two of the solinoids( sp? ). One of them is the one ALL the way to the front of th emotor, benieth the intake. There are 6 of them... I happened to be lucky enough to break it. and quite throughly I might add. Both of the vaccuum lines actually.. .

And the other one I broke actually bolts onto the upper intake manifold - its the one ( part of the set of two ) on the left that has vaccuum lines running to the hard lines that go down towards the turbo's and whatnot.

Anyways. Somewhere in the midst of this, I believe I have crossed a few vaccuum lines and forgot where others go.

Anyone out there, that knows about these sorts of things ( and perhaps has the missing components ) that might be able to help me out?

Might even be willing ot pay for gas for good, knowledgeable help.

~ Thanks a million

You will find a wealth of information in the 3rd Gen Section. Pretty much everything has been covered in that section, you just need to be patient and search for it. However busting stuff like that sucks but that rotary makes alot of plastic and rubber stuff pretty brittle. I do have all the Mazda shop manuals for the FD including a vacuum diagram for sale after I sell my FD if you're interested. I know that's not helping you in the personal sense but hopefully that's a start and someone will be able to run up there and help you.

 

I'm in Bellingham, I know my way around a 13brew fairly well (owned 4 FD's)

I'll give you a hand.

PM me.

 

Here is a diagram of the vacuum lines and solenoids. It's a little hard to see, but if you zoom in it's better. Hope it helps

 

yeah follow the diagram thats what i did and there are a few guys that have plenty of those solenoids laying around.

 

I've got that diagram in 1:1 proportion ( Its about 2 feet by 4 feet )

However... nothing beats experiance... I cant quite make out some of the routing and whatnot.

 

if i can i'll run up there to help you, i'm actually replacing all my hoses and what not soon. (maybe do both over a weekend?) but in any case if i have some time before i move into a new apartment i wouldn't mind helping you.

 

Good deal.. I just bought a silicone hose set. And somehow.. I've ended up with quite a bit more then I should have. So, I could give you some nice bright blue vaccuum lines!

How it sits now.. I've got 2/3 of the lines ran and connected.... However... I still need to get all the rest done and finished.

I'll take pix of the motor's current situation tomorrow after the Baker run.

 

Do you go to WWU?

 

ROFL.. No. I'm not that rich.. I own a supra and an rx7.

 

supra with some bad *** rodnock lol

 

Hey if i was home i would come help ya i just did the silicone hose job on my FD fun stuff good luck

 

Yeah.. I've got most of the SIlicone lines, but now, Since I broke off a few plastic parts, I'm wiating on those, and I've got no clue where a few of these lines go. And I believe I need a vacuum canister? ( I dont know what its calle.d. its black, and it USED to have a nipple on it, before I broke it.
