Did you ever started your car?

Actually I just sold my house and had to move the car to a friends house until I can get into my new house. I'm planning on working on it over there and should only take a few hours before the first startup.. Will video the startup and post it up..

congrats on the new house and move. those are super stressful, GL!

Before being transported..

Nice!

Happy 4th everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any tips on recharging the a/c system?

Take it to a corner mechanic and ask him to charge it:tiphat:

It is what I did when I swapped to the CSF

I should be able to recharge it using the low side line.. Don't take anything to the corner mechanic..

I would probably take it and have a vacuum pulled on it. Only saying that for how long your lines were unconnected. Did you blow out the condenser on the CSF?

You could try doing it yourself. I believe you fill thru the low and bleed out the high but to be honest I didn't pay that much attention to what my tuner was doing considering I didn't have the tools needed to do it myself.

The radiator from csf didn't come with any instructions so I'm needing to know what you guys had to do with your csf radiator to get in charged for the a/c? I know to use the low side but didn't know the radiator had special instructions concerning the a/c and condenser..

Mine didn't have any instructions either. My tuner just told me to blow compressed air thru the condenser to make sure nothing was in it and reconnect the lines. That's all I did.

Right on, thanks..

Yes, you need to pull a vacuum on the system once you connect it back up. It will remove the air will also help you check for leaks. This will prevent contamination of the system. IF you get an air pocket in the system you will see an increase in pressure while the system runs. It will rise up and fall as the air passes through. You can vacuum the system with a machine or gauge set with a vacuum pump. The best way is with an R134a A/C machine. You can then put the correct weight of refrigerant in the system and oil, if needed. If you have a good amount of miles on the car, It is a good idea to replace the receiver dryer. This is the filter for the system. It filters out all of the moisture and trash.
