Well I want to make an update to this thread for the record books.
I haven't been on here in a long time, but my Supra is my daily driver.
Several months to maybe a year ago I noticed some occasional smoke from the tailpipe. It has since gotten gradually worse. It smoke relatively bad now...
I believe this sound is generated by the Wiseco pistons. My engine makes the exact same noises (sounds kind of like a diesel) which concerned me at first, but I have heard similar noise with every 7m that has Wiseco pistons. I've been running my motor like this for several years without any...
Only knowing the low side pressure is 80, its impossible to say if it is the compressor or not. It could be, but theres a lot of other things it could be like simply too much refrigerant. Need more information. What was high side pressure?
Was it working prior to you messing with it? Check fuses and there a set of ground wires on the intake manifold side of the engine that need to be bolted to the intake manifold runners.
You can still check it with everything together. You just need to get a dial indicator on the front of the crank and find a way to pry the crank in and out of the block. You can carefully pry on the pulley to bring the crank forward, and if you have an R154 transmission which uses a pull type...
A much more likely cause of this issue in my opinion is a cylinder head or cylinder block being resurfaced off-flat, or at an angle. Any longitudinal tilt of the cylinder head is going to cause the belt to ride to one side.
One possible solution is to add a washer with the inner diameter equal...
I wouldn't use anything other than R134a or R12. If you use a parallel flow condenser, converting to R134a is a decent option. Leaving it R12 is the best way to go though.
Any issues using LEDs for taillight? As far as the tail lamp failure module is concerned? Ive had a problem with poor connections leading to melting of my white bulb housing, I figure LED would be less problematic.
Its pretty noticeable when I turn my AC on, it slows the motor down quickly between shifts. I think you just aren't used to it because you haven't been using it.
You should be able to see what type of gasket was used by looking at the seam between the head and the block. The easiest place I can think of would be on the intake side of the engine right near the timing belt. You could also get in there with a mirror under the intake manifold.
Been having issues with my speedometer needle jumping around rapidly, so I decided to relubricate the cables. The cables don't actually come out of the outer cable housing making it more difficult than some speedometer cables I have dealt with before. I got a little creative with some rubber...
