    Air Conditioning issues on my 91 auto mk3

    The high pressure switch closes at 220. If you are in Canada, you might not hit it as much. As noticed with your stop and go in warmer temps.

    Air Conditioning issues on my 91 auto mk3

    Surely they took a pressure reading. And the electric fans should turn on almost right away. Unless it is really cold out and you are moving at highway speed.

    Lipp BOSS Turbo is crap

    I was thinking Innovative Turbo Solutions went under. A member at MKIIItech.net had contact or new somebody there. Their demise might have a story.

    Lipp BOSS Turbo is crap

    Looks like more than minor play. Shaft play can develop without any use by sitting. My CT26 did it. After far less than 4 years. I don't know how long they last when never used. Like if there is assemblyl lube to protect it before use. It would seem like it should, but I don' know how long it...

    E85 can be great. Just look at what some people are doing with it.

    Torque converter doubts

    All the high performance trans builders like TCI will restall a converter for you. Or Level 10. In the Supra market we have SIP Racing and IPT. A torque converter multiplies engine torque. It does far more than just imitate slipping the clutch. Slipping the clutch reduces engine torque...

    What does it take to go E85? Advantages/Disadvantages?

    The only myths are spread by people who are getting paid the subsidy. That is an opinion. I find it worthless to have the powerloss unless you go really agressive on the tune. Not nearly as much as E85. My recomendation is you don't post anymore about E85. It is pitiful on a...

    New power!!!! 404HP 405ft lbs @ the wheels CT26 on 17.5lbs

    Nice work with the car. You have represented very well. Engine knock, or spark knock is a collision of flame fronts.

    What does it take to go E85? Advantages/Disadvantages?

    Actually, it delivers less power. You have to retune aggressively to reap the benifits of the alcohol. This is why milage drops. Less energy in the fuel. And 14.7:1 is not any sort of optimal tune for the car. It is the tune that keeps our older 3 way cat in its maximum operating range.

    What does it take to go E85? Advantages/Disadvantages?

    The advantage is the taxpayers are paying for part of your bill of a fuel that can be tuned agressive. Nothing more. It is bad for our economy and food prices, and on top of that, has lower BTU content than gasoline.

    Overheating issues

    Technically, that is a good reading in Phoenix. 40 is a rule of thumb for A/C. Go much above and people notice. But for many in the summer the high is 85 or so. Not 100+. My car gets colder and colder by the minute, and I can make people ask to ease up on the A/C from the cars really good seal...

    Cops love our cars

    It is illegal in the US, and sounds like Canada too. The only time I was ever stopped in a Supra was doing 75 in a 45.

    Type's of OIL and there life Span?

    A better filter than Toyota. If you are really up to it, install a bypass filter system.

    Overheating issues

    So you got rid of the low side restriction. How good is your blower motor? This sure seems like you had more than one problem, but couldn't see both because of the restriction. A SUV has a huge radiator and condensor and can shed heat much easier. This is true. The water temp switch also...

    GC= german castrol What you need is better filtration, not an oil change.
