The receiver dryer canister is attached to the condenser but does it come empty and need the dryer added to it?

For condenser:
2 x part number 90099-14120 (£1.80 + VAT each)
For compressor:
1 x as part number above
1 x 90099-14121 (£1.99 + VAT each)
Your local Mr.T prices may differ from how much i paid in quotes above.
is 1zz and 2zz same on ac side of things like condenser and orings etc?
-
i thought the rads are made of aluminium so shouldnt rust.
also anyone made a shopping list of parts needed to change condenser?
i get its the:
condenser
O rings
pag46 oil??????
receiver dryer? dont know its it comes with the condenser??
-
I don't want to get a cheapo crap quality one since if it gives problems then its gonna cost more with repeated regassings.
Iv seen a few brands like frigair, nissens, nrf, valeo, daisis etc but not sure which brand to go with.
Valeo iv seen as original factory fit in many different cars but not sure if the original celica one is valeo or denso.
-
Im after a condenser too. Looks like prices have risen up a bit. Do they come with o rings or is that extra?
-
That esso fuel is silly high price here. I just stick with momentum99. Shame ecu is encrypted and cant be mapped to make better use of high octane. 2zz would probably put out the full 190 then lol.

found another pic of it.

Removing ethanol from fuel will lower its octane rating. Dunno if its a issue for lawn mowers?

I, personally, would not question Alunox craftsmanship.
Id question it.
Iv been doing a lot of reading up on this and seen a lot of youtube vids now and it seems to be that pipe bending is a lot harder and expensive to do since decent computer controlled mandrel benders cost over 25k and price goes up sharply from that if wanting a unit than can do 3 inch or larger pipes.
Various forums and blogs i checked (yes got a lot of free time) say welded joints are areas where there can be a restriction in flow due to the weld not being smooth inside the pipe and also being failure points where corrosion can start at.
Generally it seems to be that exhaust builders that dont want to outlay the cash for a cnc mandrel bender go with welding which is a cheaper option for the shop.
Im surprised since a shop that does so much exhaust work hasnt invested in a proper mandrel bending machine.
The sharper bends are done with machines that fill pipe with sand or real expensive ones use liquid like water called hydroforming.
Interesting videos to watch on YouTube.

was just interested really as to why they used that approach.
-
Debs how come your exhaust has so many welded joints? I would have thought they would have single pieces bent to shape.
-
Would going 2.5 all the way from cat to backbox cause power loss then?
-
odd, i measured the stock exhaust pipe on my 190 and its different diameters. the part that goes from the manifold into the cat is around 2.5 inch and the pipe that comes out the back of the cat and goes through to the back of the car is around 2.25 inch.
shouldnt the system be a single size all the way through?
-
Its shame stock ecu is encrypted, if it wasn't it would be good to get it remapped to use high octane. Probably out out the full 190 then lol.

ahhh my dad did say he had a capri at one time. only car i can remember is the cortina, used to sit in there blasting the stereo with me mates when we were little. haha.

Found another pic. Oddly enough watching youtube earlier today my mum said there was a pub in Wolverhampton where it was all bent out of shape. I googled and its called the crooked house. Mum said they went there over 35 years ago.
Now hunting for old celica photos i came across this one. Can see dads yellow celica in the background and what do ya know its the pub in question too. Mum surprised to see the pic. High rez scans and Photoshop cleaning stuff up really make all the difference.
-
Original photo is bad. Photoshop filters have cleaned up these pics so they look far better than the original. Nows the time to get scanning.
I will get the pic of the possible datsun up in a different thread. Dont want to clog this thread up with non celicas.
-
omg wow. unbelievable. i came across that photo while i was scanning old albums to digital format.
iv not seen any more photos of it yet but there is few more albums to get through.
did come across pic of another car but i think it may be a datsun.

From shell website:
https://support.shell.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115005935369-What-is-Ethanol-
"This means that, in the UK, Shell regular unleaded and Shell V-Power unleaded are likely to contain some ethanol, but it will not be present at more than 5% (in accordance with current UK specification requirements)."
So yep vpower also has ethanol and they charge like 15p per litre more than momentum99.

Thats good to hear. Iv got petrol lawn mower and pressure washer which i run on momentum 99 just to make sure i get as less ethanol as possible since these engines sit around for a lot of time ethanol can be bad for them.
Apparently esso does ethanol free fuel but i cant get any of it in Coventry.

Soo.... Is it only the engine it affects? Or potentially fuel pumps in the fuel tanks too?
Plastics too which is most of the interior in jap cars.

Give Stephen Gillies at gt4-play a call for parts . Genuine toyota bit usually much cheaper
gt4 parts only or other celicas too?

i saw a youtube video that explained that ethanol fuel has less energy density measured in BTU's so if fuel amount is not increased then it can cause engine to run hotter. this was a carb engine they were showing it on saying the carb jet needs to be bigger to get more fuel through it. but i cant remember if this was e85 or e10 now.
im guessing fuel injection engines the ecu will auto compensate this with longer injector duty.
does mean with e10 you get less miles per tank so you have to use more fuel to do the same mileage which means more emissions? dunno if its actually going to be beneficial to the environment.
