1.6L SOHC to BP-T

[Sp3c5]

OK ok, so just to make sure I got this I should do the following:

- f--- the "T" split.
- f--- the line from the "T" split to the Wastegate Solenoid Valve.
- f--- the Wasgate Solenoid Valve.
- f--- the line fomr the Wasgate Solonieod Valve to the intake tube.
- Plug that nipple on the intake tube.

Now I say "intake tube" but no ones BP Turbo set up really has an intake tube, there all like 6 inches long straight from the turbo intake with a nice big cone filter at the opposite end of it. I imagine its better for the air intake, correct? I guess it's an advantage people have discovered?

Well, pretty much. You need air to go through the filter then the VAF then to the turbo. Then through the intercooler, to the intake manifold. The BOV gets vac from the intake manifold. The wastegate gets boost from the pipe right before the intake manifold, the "charge pipe".

Heres a link to someone selling the rx-7 VAF on CP. $50 shipped.

Ok, i need help with the wiring! ill describe from the engine firewall to the engine bay.

OK, so the whole wire loom is flowing out, it splits to under the intake manifold, connects to alternator, starter and some other various small plugs, thats good

it then splits again down the line, it has 22 wires at then end of, cut there and stops, its:

-G/R
-B/P
-W/R
-B
-B
-B
-B
-W
-L
-B/G
-B/LG
-G/Y
-Y/W
-B (Medium sized)
-LG
-B/LG
-Y/L
-W/B
-W
-R/Y
-B (Medium Sized)

B=Black, LG=Light green ( can anyone supply with the official wire color prefixes please?)


Back to the main harness again, it continues and splits into 2 I believe this time, one split a loom which is ISC and throttle sensore, another split a loom which is injectors, o2 sensor, disty, water thermo and what appears from the diagram on page 2, two ground wires and weird looking one thats not labeled (question, what is that wierd looking connector? it has like to long "wings" on the side, in the diagram on page 2, it has no name)

Back to the main harness again, it ends to this, in my mind its a little foggy so im not sure what i said is right, but here i go, it has 2 wires which are easy to identity and a bunch of cut ones:

*easy ones*

1. Battery connector
2. A ground

*cut ones*

3. BR, B
4. B, B/O (Condenser)
5. B, Y/B, B/G (this one goes to a connector and loop backs inside the wire loom, lol?)
6. W/R
7. P, P/B, LG/P, B/Br, B/W
8. B, V, W/R (EEM-OO1)
9. B/O, Y/L, G/W (Igniter)


What I have left in the car from the orginal is:
- A wire loom coming down from fuse box, 11 wires
- A bunch of wires hanging from the diagnostic box
- And like 4 black wires going into some white plastic clip attached to the frame of the car, beside the transmision.

Please help me if u can, its driving me nuts!

It was -25 , the BOV spring was stiff , thats why there was fluttering at the beginning.

Way to go man. Take a bunch of pics of how you routed your piping and such!

And vids of it moving!

[Sp3c5]

yes will do but we have forgotten an important piece, the fuel pump. it just doesn't supply enough at all. Luckily with the cold weather, the charge air is really cool so detonation is not much of a worry and we really don't have the budget at the moment to toss more money, so its gonna have to wait.

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

it's $100.00!?! For a walbro 255
Not worth the risk man.

[Sp3c5]

dont worry, he drives the family van in the mean time, hehe
