Power Pulse Air Filter assembly(79-85)
Hey guys, I just got this from racingbeat. This thing rocks. http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda1.htm Its the white carb hat. Its great. It sounds a lot better. My car is stock except for that now and my rb engine torque brace. It sounds a whole lot better, more meaty. I can hear the intake now, couldn't with stock. I totoally reccomend this if you just want a new carb hat or something. Great product. Only problem is there's no place for the 5 hoses the came from the original carb.

Yep, its pretty hard to describe the sound to someone who's never heard it. Its like giving your car a healthy shot of testosterone (puts a little bass into its voice). 
Just plug all those hoses at their source...

Do i need to plug the holes?? Why cant i just drive with them off?? My friend has the same thing(carb hat) and he has nothing plugging the holes. He's been driving like that for a long time now. Would there be any problems??

No, not close. If you look at your carb(sotck one) There are 6 hoses connected to it. Take your carb off and then look at the hoses. They say i need to block those hoses off at the source because there is no place for the hoses for the power pulse

I say remove the rat's nest if you still have it on there. The Racing Beat air filter assembly is designed for cars that have already had it removed, which is why those hoses don't go there anymore.

Twink, just find bolts that will fit snug enough in the hoses to seal them. The bigger hoses you can add a clamp around the bolt. I've even seen people use wine bottle corks for some of the larger ones. The ribbed hose coming off the top of the exhaust mani can be removed entirely.

So guys, i read a thread that i looked up and it says that there are some parts that use the vacuum. Like the brake booster and other stuff. If i plug these holes will this stuff not work? I'm confused. Should i get those hoses to custom fit the carb hat??

Sit down and study the vacuum diagrams in the FSM. That will show you what supplies what, then you can decide what you want working or not.

Ok. So let me get this straight. I don't need the white huge vacuum hose. Now, when i went on a drive with the power pulse on everything worked normal, idle was great. Every single hose was left on(except the white one), but obviously not connected to anything. I've searched, but i still don't get it. What are all the hoses for? Aren't they just all vacuum hoses? The only difference is that the hoses aren't connected to anything, so why should i plug them??? Can i just leave them on there with no plugs? Thanks for trying to get me through this small problem
