A/c recharge

efulton95 · June 28th, 2009, 04:58 PM

where is the low pressure hook up for the ac recharge. Thanks

WildWill · June 28th, 2009, 09:16 PM

i believe its right above the #6 cylinder or thereabouts... on the drivers side near the brake booster.

Correct. It's shown by the white arrow in my pic:

clean up that engine bay

Bullitt95 · June 29th, 2009, 12:26 PM

I've already removed a load of crap from my engine bay (22lb weight saving) but nearly all of it was on the passenger side or underneath where it's hard to see from that photo:

Smog pump & all associated pipes/valves
Smog pump mounting bracket (cut from alternator mounting bracket)
EGR valve & pipe
Heater tube assembly & hoses
Strut tower brace

This is some of the stuff I've removed:

Chris951 · June 29th, 2009, 10:12 PM

Sweet. I meant physically clean it though.. it's dirty lol

Bullitt95 · June 30th, 2009, 12:22 PM

He he, if only it would stay clean for a few days. With all the dust carried around by the hot desert winds over here, you can wash the engine bay one day and it'll have a blanket of dust the next.

: The same goes with washing the car on the outside.
Rather than wash the engine bay and risk getting water on the electrics, I prefer to just use compressed air to blow away the thick dust.

thanks guys. thats which one i thought it was and i went to fill it and it wasnt filling, i took the hose from the can off the valve and it all started shooting back out haha. is there supposed to be a little ball or something that blocks the valve? not the can the valve where the freon goes in?

I thought the same thing. I retried it and waited a while, shaking the can and turning it at different angles every couple minutes and it went in. Took about 10-15 minutes per can.

yeah before i put my motor im this week end im gana clean my engine bay up

Bullitt95 · July 4th, 2009, 07:47 AM

You'll be amazed at how much extra space you'll have on the passenger side. Plug changes will be a cakewalk instead of a 2-hour ordeal, and removing the steel heater tube assembly makes it so much easier to pull the passenger side valve cover.

95BlackStang · July 4th, 2009, 08:54 AM

mine came with the pump removed, and before i broke my motor i took all that stuff out, it does open up that side alot.

95cobra50 · July 4th, 2009, 12:22 PM

what the hell does a smog pump do, anyway?

Bullitt95 · July 4th, 2009, 04:36 PM

Waste space that could be used for a centrifugal supercharger instead.

pumps fresh air into the cats so they don't overheat

efulton95 · July 8th, 2009, 04:14 PM

so since my car has no cats does that mean my smog pump is pointless? and would it be worth eliminating

95cobra50 · July 8th, 2009, 05:16 PM

so don't take out my smog pump till I take out the cats... i'll keep that in mind.
