hey,



my friend has a 88 rx7 and i noticed that it has the same style AFM as my 88 626 and as wondering what u RX7 guys do when going all out like how u remove tha AFM for more flow..



i have no idea and some ppl told me that i could prolly use a MAFT from a DSM and have it work



can any one help me





thanks in advance

 

The rx7 AFM is most likely an upgrade for the 626. Early model Miata guys use 86-88 AFMs because they flow a bit better. Im not sure about the DSM setup, but I doubt its a direct swap.

 

I highly recommend a standalone EMS as the best way to eliminate the AFM altogether.

Isnt that like the only way.

 

unfortunatly i have to appear stock, i was thinking about removing the AFM inerts and connecting it to the throttle body since it works at teh same rate but if there is a proper way to di it im all ears...



maybe its just me but it dosent make sence to "upgrade" my afm to a RX amf, seeing as how its a 1.3l that spins to say 9k rpm and i have a 2.2 spinning 5500rpm, the miata 1.6 and 1.8 may benifet from it but i dont think that my car would...



basicaly wat im looking to do is get the only restriction on my intake to be the filter, TB, manifold, and head and then work it from there



i have seen a AFM conversion on a 2gRX but i didnt get the maker off of it "stupid me"





are there any other routs i can go w/o going standalone?



i have to try and pass emissions, sofar i passed with a hollowed cat and burning 5q of oil every 200mi or less

 

Your burning 5 quarts of oil in less than 200 miles! And you wanna modify your engine?



You should be thankfull every day that thing runs.

 

I agree with RONIN here. Rebiuld it and then think about modifying the car.
