    air conditioning

    I will give that a shot. School just started back this past Monday so all of my supra projects are put on hold unless I have enough time to mess with it on the weekend. I probably do need a good vacuum pump to use that can run for that long. The pump I have utilizes my compressor to convert...

    air conditioning

    So I ended up messing with the low side schrader valve and what I found out was that if they R134 conversion attachment was too tight it caused the schrader valve to stay open and leak freon out. So now that I have that figured out I put some freon back in and I am waiting for it to see for a...

    air conditioning

    Yea I am going to replace the schrader valve on the compressor again and give it another shot. I will probably look around a little before I charge it again just to see if any leaked out somewhere else

    air conditioning

    I may look into doing that f00g00. So I ended up getting a gauge set and a vacuum pump. I was able to apply vacuum to the system and when I closed both gauges I found that I still have a small leak. It leaked all of the vacuum out within 10 or 15 minutes which was no huge surprise. So the only...

    air conditioning

    It was converted over to R134a by the guy that I bought the car from. I couldn't tell you whether it was properly done by completely evacuating the system and replacing it with pag oil and R134a. Also there is no way for me to tell exactly how much oil is currently in the compressor. I suppose...

    air conditioning

    I think I have previously mentioned that I'm using the same compressor. When I shook the compressor it sounded like it still had oil or fluid in it. I mounted it up to the car today. Do I need to worry about adding oil to the system since I am using the same compressor? Or can I just put vacuum...

    air conditioning

    Yea I couldn't see the 4 bolts from all of the gunk caked on the side of the compressor haha. Once I used some purple power to make the compressor look new again I was able to see the 4 bolts. I haven't had time to mess with it yet, but i'll install the bracket first then go from there...

    air conditioning

    That sounds good! I just removed the front upper and lower bumper and began replacing o rings today. The only two I am not sure of are the two sensors near the turbo. I am sure they have o rings but they look like they will be really hard to get to. Also had alot of trouble figuring out how to...

    air conditioning

    I looked around some but didn't find a thread. I'll try to dig a little deeper. Do you know if all of these parts would be available aftermarket at an advance auto or some place like that? Also, does almost every connection in the AC circuit have an o ring or not necessarily? Years ago when...

    air conditioning

    Years ago when I swapped in my GTE motor I decided that I did not need AC. I never installed the compressor on the GTE engine and removed it from the bay after the GE was taken out. Years later I am tired of sweating everytime I take the supra out in the summer (the summer is 10/12 months here...

    4.30 open differential

    Oh yea if I made a FS thread I would put it in the proper section. I hate to take it to a scrap yard if somebody can use it. It seems to be in good shape. I ended up changing it out because I put a gte in so the added traction will help. I may give CL a shot. Thanks!

    4.30 open differential

    I just swapped my differential out to a 3.73 LSD. I guess this is sort of a feeler thread, but I did not think it was appropriate for the for sale thread. Is it worth selling the 4.30 differential locally or would nobody want it? Wasn't sure if there is a demand for this differential so I...

    Thanks man! Yep, you're right. I looked up some old pics of a previous build I did and saw that it was a ground that connects to the block Got it hooked up. Just a few more things to do until I can fire it up

    Wiring harness question

    I am putting the last touches on my gte rebuild. I am trying to figure out where the following connection goes: The wire circled in the picture is one of the two wires that comes off of the positive terminal for the battery. One of the connectors hooks up to the starter, but I can't...

    help finding rings

    Yea I called him. He said he didn't think he had any but to call him again monday and he would see if he had them or if he could source them out. I had hardly spread the ring at all when it snapped...wasn't spread far enough to install. The material they were made of felt cheap. Who knows.

    help finding rings

    I am doing a rebuild on a stock 7mgte. It only had 10k miles when it spun a bearing. The pistons in it are 20 over NPR stock replacement pistons. Any idea where I can find some decent 20 over rings? I couldn't find NPR rings to save my life so I ordered an ITM engine components ring set from...

    rod/main bearings

    Rock auto has the following: Sealed power - $ 91.79 ITM engine components - $ 55.89 DNJ Engine components - $ 34.99 I hate to pay 92 bucks if the sealed power ones are really no better than either of the other two options.
