Yeah it stops when it's warm and drops down to about 750 800 RPM. I just thought it warming up at 1500 would cause more damage then warming up at 750.

What is a TB mod RX7ryder?

the thermo wax holds it at 1500rpm till it warms up. without that on a cold day it would just stall. it won't hold a 750 idle while cold. you'll have to hold your gas pedal down a bit everytime you start it...

as for the AWS. that revs the car to 3000rpm for the fist 20 secs or so. so a "proper" working 2nd gen when starting cold, will rev to 3000 for 20 secs then drop to 1500 till it reaches 160+F.

now the AWS is for emmsions only. to warm the cats faster. if you just start it in gear it doesn't happen. I always start mine in gear. the 3000 rev while dead cold is just stupid.

but now the 1500 thermowax is nice. I'm gona miss it when I do the TB mod at the end of the winter.

I believe if you put in an Atkins thermal pellet and eliminate the thermal wax you will have less of a chance for engine damage since the engine will get oil at warm up.

To get rid of hot coolant flowing through the TB, to clean things up, to prevent damage when cold, to get rid of intake restrictions:secondary throttle plates, to make throttle more responsive.Supposably T2s gain 1psi of boost completly stock, n/as gain a little top end maybe 1-2hp.

power, better response and turbo spool up, and better on/ off throttle smothness. I'm sacificing the 5 mins or warm up for hours of better driving afterwards
