It's more or less personal taste. I've heard arguments from both sides as to why one's better than the other. The two of them do get the majority of votes in every poll I've seen. I'm running Redline and it did make a difference with my W58.

I was having a hard time finding SIP x8 sockets. Did you find some? The plastic overhang is typically 1 mm. So the main body of the display is 6mm... that's not bad, but I'd definitely prefer using SIP sockets. BTW - Kai, I ordered 5 of them along with one red and one yellow. EDIT: Forgot to...

I just got home and checked a couple things. The leads for the stock display are 1cm (9.5mm to be precise). A DIP socket should be possible, as long as it is low profile, there's only a few millimeters between the display and the CC's face. I suspect the reason the reason for the gap is an...

You could use a gel, but as I've said before, there are a number of reasons to avoid them. First, putting a blue filter over a light blue light wouldn't give me the same color as the parts I'm using right now... a rich, deep blue. The gel would have be a shade of purple, finding the right shade...

The CC needs about 10mm or 12mm <--guessing from memory.... I'll measure one when I get home. I suppose one possibility would be soldering in a DIP socket made for wire wrap. Be wicked easy to switch colors in the future as well as long as the units are all pin compatible. You'd have to...

:3d_frown: Hell, cost wise my solution's cheaper (than Mouser)... How long are the leads on those anyway? I presume they'll need to be lengthened... I'm not sure if they're worth it to me... I'll have to pick one up and see how the color is. I'm sure as hell not buying them in bulk if...

Excellent find!!! +1 The forward voltage is fine. Now I just need to order one or two to see how the color compares to all the other LEDs I use... I just can't stand all the light blue LEDs. I haven't looked yet, but, do they have a minimum order?

Yeah, I checked my Sent Items: EDIT: YES! For those of you wanting a red CC display the Lumex display: LDD-A406NI is a direct swap. Just go to DigiKey and search either that PN or theirs: 67-1447-ND Oh, and the manufacturer of that display is Lumex, not LiteOn.

I could swear I PM'd you about that already. I'm at work and don't have the PN with me, but I was sure I'd sent you the PN for a pin compatible LiteOn display in red.

:biglaugh: It's all good, after all it is a conversion thread!

I should think so.... They're typically not very cheap though. If they don't have them you could try ebay, or possibly another member who has a non-USDM TEWD. I think North America only had the digital CC, so possibly a TEWD from just about anywhere else should work, as long as you read the...

Here's the TEWD info for an '89. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/Wiring/pages/Page_140.html Here's the TSRM info for an '89: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/ac/AC_01.html Both are USDM, I haven't any info on the UK's CC system though. Sorry.

The tint I referred to is only to replace the green piece that's already in there. It's used so when the CC temp display is off you aren't looking at components. The green really needs to go if you're switching to a different color display, otherwise it'll change the color of your new display. I...

Not quite. There are a couple reasons I couldn't use the 2 digit, 10 DIP 7 seg. displays. One might not be an issue, but the pin locations is. It was easier for me to layout an adapter for 2 single character 7 seg. displays. PepBoys has nothing useful for these mods.... except for perhaps...

I'm working on it. I haven't had too much time to work on it. I will be looking into it further on Sunday and Monday. At this point in time it's looking like I'm going to have to build a whole new unit to fit in the stocker's enclosure. On the plus side I may be able to add a few extras to it...

The 7 seg. displays I used I got from DigiKey. As mentioned before they are not plug and play. I haven't found any that are. The blue display I've made is made up of two 7 seg. modules mounted on an intermediary PCB I etched. The character height of the stock unit, as well as my replacement...

DigiKey has 2mm x 5mm amber and yellow.

Damn! I really like it! So is the temp display still green or have you found a pin compatible yellow display? Or is it red? Well? You gonna keep me guessing here? It looks VERY nice!

Extremely depressing opera (especially funeral marches), RadioHead.... basically anything SUPRA depressing...:cry: I like to feel that I'm not the only one cryin' over what just broke.:cry: Ok, not really, well, sometimes... okay, half the time. The rest of the time it's...

Does it keep the fans running when it turns off the compressor?
