Induction Kit Help

Do you not need the airpump to protect your cat\'s untill they are warm or something (i probably sound a bit stupid there :Giggle  )  or is it there purley just to dilute emissions?

But why should you have to disconnect it - the kit is designed so that it incorporates the air pump - there are loads of these kits fitted and only a few with mad cow desease so surely we have something wrong?  :confused:

bridgy, well,  guess wot??!!! it dont smell of crap anymore!! the celophane factory had to close. theres a couple rx7s round here, not a huge amount so still get heads turning when hank down the highstreet.  :3gears-rh

I\'m not going to disconnect the air-pump from the exhaust - just the air-pump pipe from the apexi filter. I guess it really needs one of those restrictors that you have in the other pipe (wrongly?) but I don\'t have one.

They closed the smellophane factory?! Dam this cruel world!

but if you disconnect the pipe altogether wont the air pump get even more air!? cant blank it off cuz it wont get the air that it needs to send to the cat (meeeow)

ive found an adaptor and stuck that down the pipe to see if that makes any difference in a sec.


closing celophane was a bad thing really as sh*tloads of people lost their jobs, but hey ho, life needs to go on!  btw, im not from here either. family moved her to be clsoer to family. born in croydon!

Was talking about blanking [now unconnected] air filter pipe rather [now unfiltered] air pump pipe - don\'t know what affect this will have - maybe someone with prior knowledge can tell us?

[PETE SMITH]

If you\'re blanking the air-pump, then consider removing it plus the standard cat and replacing the latter with a high-flow cat if you stick to twin-turbo setup.
Will remove this cow-issue!!-thought the only down-side is probable change in idle revs.
This is where modification escalates!-i.e. Having an Apexi power FC Commander, makes this alteration easier.
Oh, i\'m not a real expert, just talking from chronic FD ownership! :Talking1

at the moment iv just unplugged the air pump (on top of the pump, plastic clip connection with 2 wires) doesnt make any noises now. will plugs it back in for mot and they can put up with the mooing for 10 mins   :cool

Have you blanked/blocked the now unconnected pipe as I\'m guessing you\'ll have unfiltered air entering the intake?

[Rich Cheung]

I put the metal restrictor bung into the same pipe Ricco 04 did and this stopped the mooing. It was a very tight fit and had to be hammered home.

Also on the bottom filter (one nearest headlight) I connected both the larger and smaller pipes. When I went to WGT for Apexi and decat fitting he disconnected the smaller pipe leaving it open to the atmosphere.
I don\'t know why but I\'ve not had any probs in 6K miles. I\'ll try and take a photo this weekend to show what I mean.

Why havn\'t I done that yet, Im sure I have read that once  :Hammer

Thanks Rich (sorry you had to post it 2x)  I will let the one end of the pipe off and see how it goes   :cool
