Ok guys Im in the middle of my rx6 install. Removed twins,airpump and all fittings so on. Now for the fun part under the UIM the RATS NEST. I have a good vacuum diagram but im not real sure where to start or what to remove under the intake manifold. I have searched and searched for some thing with pictures showing which solenoids to keep and what get rid could some one please post some pics. It would help me out ALOT. Thanks

 

What ecu are you using?

What smog components are you keeping?

Which boost controller are you using?

As far as the rats nest itself, you can remove the whole thing and cut back the wiring; just seal each one off.

Don't cut the wiring for the other components; the purge control valve, the air intake temp sensor, etc.

 

Setup is as follows

Apexi Rx6a kit
Apexi Power FC
Greddy Profec B


Im in California so i would like to do the GM airpump for emissions since the kit requires the removal of the factory airpump. I have a smog so im not two worried just do want to get in trouble if the highway patrol pull me over and say son please pop the hood.....LoL Im open to any suggestions as far as what to keep. Whats best? Ive ready so much and everybody has there own way of doing things none are wrong but what is te best way? Thanks for the info I love putting in wrench time with on the 7 but the rats nest and all the vacuum lines KILL ME. Thanks

 

come on guys help a brother out.......

 

need some help

 

I am in the middle of the same thing. I just pulled it all out. I got the block off plates for the intake manafold and just kept the neccecities. Pretty much anything that is dedicated to the sequential functionality can be eliminated.I was linked to this website a while ago, maybe it will help you out. Its a good write up

As far as smog, im not to worried about it. I just got a free GM pump and im gonna use that.

 

thanks for the website that is one of the best I found but it's alittle confusing because he kept alot of the emissions stuff. So just dive in and start rippin stuff out? he he he thanks for actually responding I guess you don't get much love in the single forum untill your a vet

 

take everything out..from what i hear it is possible to pass emissions with a GOOD cat and an airpump...get block off plates for everything...the only thing that should be under that manifild are your coils

 

so just leave the coils and remove and block everything else off?

 

Ok I dug into the rats nest today. The phillips screws attaching it are hard as hell to get off. Any tips dremel maybe? Come on guys should I remove everything underneath the rats nest? Whats the verdict?Thanks

 

oh ya any body have any pics fo what the ratsnest area should look like after im done rippin **** out?

 

the less stuff you have the less of more stuff braking is my saying..... as far as those screws on the nest i just used needle nose vice grips and broke them loose then they were easy to take out with a screwdriver. For the coils you could relocate them to where the cruise control (contact IMPACTWRENCH) he sells a bracket. or just leave it in stock location. I recommend relocating them so it gets them away from the heat. block off everything....thats all i have to say.

 

ill get you a pic tomorrow.

 

cool that will help
