hey,
was at donington a few days ago, all was good, heard a rattle/popping from engine bay then all of a sudden it sounded like i had an induction kit on the car...:eek car drives fine, all goes properly no issues..
had a look today and can see where it has gone wrong, and it looks like the car is missing a bit (looks to me like it was a hose) but not 100% sure and don\'t know what it is i need to replace (order)..
car is an 88 egi..
can anyone tell me what the missing bit is and what its called so i can head to mazda to get a new one or whatever! also if it is a hose, does anyone know why this would just pop off???

( you should be able to spot the issue looking at the pic, can circle the point if need be )
cheers

no idea to be honest - it looks like the hose has come off ???
or are both ends metal ?
Doesnt that hose feed direct from the air pump? Should be a case of refitting the hose and finding the clip :)
both ends are metal, looks like a hose came off to me but i cant be sure, and to get the right replacement need to know for sure lol,
on a side note i\'m part of the mk1club (mr2s) and kirsty said she knew you, took an fc for ya down to jae i think, sound about right? i was like say waaat :D
She certainly did :yes :Thumbs-up
im pretty sure it came from the air pump, then the other bit goes into the exhaust manifold ( i think)... any idea what the hose is called and what clip lol, neither are anywhere to be seen...
yeah she said she loved the car, just not the amount of gas it used... her s/c can\'t be much better on gas though :evillaugh
Thats the feed into the ACV - it injects air into the system at various stages to create afterburn and thusly reduce the emissions - with that hose off you wont be passing an MOT :yes
i cant see how such a small hose came off ????
and Kirsty - im sure she came down to the north west meet once - didnt get to speak to her though
ahh emissions goodness, heh, is it just a simple hose then or has it got some gubbins inside there it needs..don\'t want to have to go through mazda prices to get one before next sat (going to france)
i cant see how it could have come off either? my clutch pedal felt quite spongey the second i heard the noise change but aside from that nothing else happened.
best thing - is to find someone with a EGI and see if they can get a photo of the same thing ??
does anyone have any pics of what its supposed to look like there btw?
cheers for all ya replies so far too :D
d\'oh posted at the same time lol
anyone here have an egi?!
still been looking around ALL over for pics of this but cannot find anything anywhere. have scoured all forms of service manual for this also, only thing i can find that looks even remotely similar to it is called an \'air chamber\' ? does that sound right?
please if anyone has an egi could they go an take a quick pic of this part of the engine and post it up? (or any other engine if it has similar bits).
cheers
There is suppose to be a piece of rubber pipe about 2" long that connects those two metal pipes.The pipe delivers air to the thermal reactor to cool it.
Hopefully Tim is spot on :) My EGI had alll the emissions gubbins removed by him so afraid I cant help
cool cheers, so i can just get a piece of pipe (air house) and cut it down to size and clamp it in place? where abouts can one get such hosing?? :D
if you want to be very cheap - stick a short peice of hose pipe on :D
if it fixed the prob - then you can have a look around for a better peice of pipe

lol :D :D :Thumbsup! cheap is good, i think i\'m going to have to try that option out and see
just very quickly, havent got much time off this week to try and find some hose for the rex, is there anywhere online i can get some from cheap cheap? had a quick look around but couldn\'t find anything much...
hey,
just an update for everyone here, after much frustration on my part having issues not knowing exactly what i needed and then finding it difficult to even find a \'bodge\' part as such..
have since been in contact with Jimmy\'s RX-7 to see if they could help me out seeing as in the past they have sorted out some other bits for me too!
So not only did they manage to find out that it is after all an airhose that is missing (even after reading my rather cryptic email with all its bad descriptions :D) but they have found the part for me (including clips) and are going to send it out to me FOC. :god
I can\'t thank them enough, fantastic service and really helpful despite me not having much detail for them to go on. :Thumbsup!
im really stoked anyway, car will be back on road sooner than i thought :cheers
