    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    well it turns out the hi side fitting wasnt seating properly. at idle im at 35psi low side 150psi highside, so I am still low. I think I am just low on refrigerant... When i rev the engine to abotu 1800 and hold it there, pressure will drop on low side to abotu 2 and the compressor will cycle...

    also, if I were to pull a vacuum on the system for 1 hour-will it suck all the oil out too? lol, so guy is telling me that NOW the orifice is in backwards and was right before...wtf!! im pretty sure it in the way it should be. the white tip and or ings go in first into the accumulator...

    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    the guys trying to tell me my compressor is bad, stuck reed valve or something... way too big a coincidence for it to do that over a couple hours. I had good pressures but poor cooling-oriface tube ws in backwards. I slowly bled system down, put in new oriface tube the right way, charged the...

    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    Woo! Got thr engine home. Guy said it came out of a 94, so factory turbo engine. Pigger rods and wrist pins if i am not mistaken. But that means id need a different flywheel for it though :(. Had 210xxx miles on it when pulled due to smoking and low power. Plan on just putting rings and...

    Well, safe to say i am pretty dissapointed with envirotech. My oriface tube was infact installed backwards. Put a new red one in the right way. Put in 2 cans, only reading 60psi hiside. Put in another fullcan (supposed to only take 2.5...) 35psi low, 85hiside...and im out of fridgerant...

    Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

    I can recover maybe 1 can worth by usign the old one since it has no pressure, then filling it till it equalizes pressures. I ordered 3 more cans, $20. cheaper than taking time to find a fridge compressor etc etc. i hope for keeping my butt cold's sake i did in fac tinstall it backwards...

    good stuff! i am sure you will really enjoy the diamond eye muffler. Mine sounds absolutely phenomal. deep burble at idle, and over 2200 has an awesome diesel bark to it.

    Talked eith jim at enviro safe. He says everything looks good except hi side pressure should be closer to 200 at that low sode and temp. Hes sayin he had a case where the oriface tube was inseeted backwards. Now i put my new one in the same way the old one came out of the old drier. The...

    the guy said all of their 6 oz cans regardless of the label are meant to work in either r12 or r134 systems, provided they are clear and empty first. the suction line is definityl cold, and sweating. but when i measure with temp gun (and it is accurate, my skin temp is 98ish) it is rigth at...
