I have checked for a high side restriction already, i will check again though. This vehicle has had 3 different TXV's in it and with all of them, the pressures have been nearly the same with no increase in AC performance. Satan, I filled the compressor with 8oz originally as per a Napa created...

Well i have been trying to fix my AC forever and haven't been successful. I have had the Professionals here in AZ working on this thing and even after putting almost 1k into parts and labor the thing performs about the same that it did before. It was an R134A conversion, which i was told was not...

I agree with you and I am curious myself. There is a lot of scientific data on the flow characteristics etc but there is no proof per say that running your type of oil will do physical damage to an engine (that i know of). Why don't you take a comparison oil sample for us? Run the thicker...

"The HKS Stopper-Type gasket consists of the maximum layers of plates possible and utilizes a molded stopper ring around each combustion chamber opening." "The HKS Bead-Type gasket features a raised bead structure around each combustion chamber to ensure a precise seal." "The HKS...

There is about 2 inches between the condenser and radiator, i had a 2.5" thick fan i tried to fit in there, and it just barely wouldnt fit.

Does anyone know if there is an OEM replacement pigtail/connector for the green coolant temperature sensor (pre89, square style, looks almost like a gm injector clip)? I searched around and cant find anything, im not sure if there are later model Toyotas with this same style connector that might...

How exactly do you drive hard and stay out of boost at the same time, i go into boost driving normally, and what is the idea behind staying out of boost anyways? What exactly are you hurting by going into boost while breaking in a motor?

Thats pretty much why i was asking, because i wasn't sure if that would make it less effective than just being a push in the first place. Anyways it barely didn't fit in-between, so i put it in front.

Ya im not expecting to gain too much. I would be happy with 50 degree temps at idle (blower on high) but its just not happening. Im not expecting to get too much help out of the fan, but the AC place recommended i try that (they are a highly respected place here in AZ) so i will try that, if...

Ah i see. Im still not completely sure if it will fit between the condenser and radiator yet, though there seemed to be quite a bit of room when i last looked. If there's enough room i will probably put it there, if not, obviously i will set it up as a pusher. Thanks.

I dont know of any supra that will put out ~38 deg. vent temperatures at idle in the heat, if yours does wonderful but mine is fully serviced and brought to spec and vent temps rise at idle, so im trying to add some extra airflow to allow more liquid refrigerant to the expansion valve...

No, I understand that, but what im asking is which would be better, having it set up to push, in front of the condenser, or pull, behind the condenser/in front of the radiator.

My A/C specialists told me that i should add an auxiliary fan to the condenser to improve the idle performance. I understand that some supras came stock with pusher fans, its a little unclear which ones exactly, but mine doesn't have one. I live in AZ (California car) so it could use all the...

Well in their defense the specs in this tread aren't published anywhere so they would have no way to look it up, if im not mistaken, if the block or head surface isn't adequate, Toyota calls for complete replacement instead of machining.

If you can afford it, might as well get the stopper for added assurance.

wow that is a LOT of corrosion! I bet the sealing rings of the head gasket wouldn't even properly surround the ports.

Interesting color haha. I wouldnt use that cork oil pan gasket if i were you though..

I understand, but my goal is not to stay at 192F regardless of condition, my goal is to not consistently run 220+ when the system is designed to run at 180 with a 180 t stat. Basically, this thread seems to say temps of 225+ and rising with a 180 stat is normal, whereas the other thread seems to...
