RX-8 Air Pump Delete

[@jamesowen418]

Good video! I'm removing my air pump this coming weekend, this made things much clearer 👍🏻

[@rennierattan3665]

Excellent detailed video thank you

[@danc5963]

can't find the exact block off plate sadly

[@micksmobilemechanics]

Thanks mate Just waiting for my blanking plate to arrive so I can do this

[@Monstermagick]

I have an s2 and the vac line doesnt reach far enough to plug itself on the valve assembly. Any ideas on an alternative?

[@mq2825]

Folks this is the new ChrisFix

[@aaronsargent9756]

What are the block off plate dimensions

[@moshuunderwater2624]

Man I had done everything right except for some reason the dumbass who had the car before me welded the nuts to the plate or they just somehow melted into the frame so I can't take them off no matter what, I sold the car though they're such a pain in the ass for such little gain

Is there anyway to make the check engine like go away for the p0410 so it doesn’t come back?

[@3rdmember510]

A tune would be the solution

[@MarkAnthony-us1gm]

Oh shoot. Like from a dyno?

[@3rdmember510]

@@MarkAnthony-us1gm well, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you would not need a dyno run for that. Maybe more like a ECU reflash, which is a lot cheaper ;)

My air pump (after 96k miles) is making noise. Is there a reason to remove the air pump? If you are OK with the noise and even if you don't have a cat anymore (I still do have a cat) is there any reason to remove the air pump? Great vid!

Hey Fellow RX8 owner . Where did you order your blanking Plate

[@pibe8761]

[@Kordanized]

Oh and just telling you, thats not a jack point

@@ethanolfeed1975 I'm my own experience too ;D

[@JG-ku9st]

what happens if i remove the air pump and not put on the block off plates? any real problems apart from a check engine light?

[@nyvinchenz9430]

I know this is an old post if you don't put a block off plate you will have exhaust Gases in you engine compartment and possibly get in to the car from the fresh cabin filter area.
