^ Lmao. Well said. It's pretty sad when someones substance abuse problem reaches the point where they feel the need to publicly celebrate it. Even sadder is them assuming others are in the same situation...

IDL is used for a bunch of important things and needs to be grounded when the throttle plate is closed and floated when the throttle plate is open. If your TPS doesn't have a contact to accomplish that you'll need to add a separate switch...

There's no need to go into the pax door as that line can be tapped anywhere between there and the driver's door. Imho it'd be easiest to control both windows from the master switch though. Whether it would be better to install the box in the door or under the dash would depend on the number of...

Since I don't have one on the Supra but do have one on another car I'll offer what I can. Works well enough. Rolls up on door locking (arming occurs at the same moment) and also during remote start. What do you want to know about the wiring? It isn't difficult and with the MKIII and I can see a...

Turns out it's in the book too: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=TC&P=4

Yes

Most people don't do it but make sure the oil feed line is very clean. In fact many turbo shops as part of their warranty require the lines be replaced...

I'm afraid if you have trouble obtaining a couple of AA batteries and wiring them in series anything I suggest is not going to be helpful...

You're lucky...most here spend tons of time and money hoping to see that ;) Has to be in the speedo itself. You'll need to pull it out for a look...

No need here but my compliments on making the effort to do things right. Exactly right. Good job. I shouldn't mention this but there are refrigerant blends that claim to be performance replacements for 134. Course, that means systems converted from 12 to 134 can also use them. COOLTOP is one...

Fwiw that CFB5000 base is huge. I know, I have one here collecting dust. Couldn't find space for it in my car. Take our advice and get a marine unit. And I'll say it again: if there isn't a delta P between those two nipples you're wasting your time...

Gene: You're not going to bend those nipples and unless there is a divider between them you won't get any flow. There has to be some sort of pressure drop to drive the filter. Proto: I'm an air carrier pilot, as is Jdub. Prior to that I was a machine design/automation engineer. Along with my...

:dunno: I've had one (a genuine one) on the car for over 20 years and I don't think it looks bad. Doesn't move around in the slightest and the dash underneath is as pristine as the day I bought the car. To me it's just another form of maintenance. Keeps the plasticizer vapors off the windshield...

^ Correct. All depends on the temperature. For example Toyota service documentation specifically states white smoke is an indication of turbocharger problems. And how do you think air show performers generate that white smoke? It's done by injecting oil into the exhaust. These days it's an...

Not solenoids....pressure switches. Wouldn't want anyone connecting battery power to test them as solenoids. At least not when they're installed on a pressurized AC system. Bad things would happen ;)

No...

Fwiw jimi is correct. Nice to see someone making the effort to inform himself. As for the batteries my educated opinion has been stated many times before: other than being leak free spiral wound AGM is definitely not a case of getting what you paid for...

Well, for a start it's 80% R-134. I thought you were trying to avoid that stuff? The real problem though is it's an azeotropic blend. That means although it'll blow cold your system's days will be numbered...

It means you need to correct whatever is causing the mixture to be outside the O2 sensor's range. Or the sensor itself is shifted. Thats for the Vf issue. Since a bad sensor can't cause the engine to lose power you have another problem although the two could be (and probably are) related...
