air intake question

Racer23gt · 10-12-2009, 04:23 PM

when i put on the cone filter, is hooking up the A/c Idle-line to it a must or is that optional?

i believe you need it although maybe it could be capped if your not using a/c. do you have a/c?

A/C is optional. That AC Idle-Up is used by the A/C system to increase the engine RPM when you engage the compressor to accommodate for the extra load on the engine. That AC Idle up is adjustable as well. If you intend on having A/C you should install it in the coupling between the throttle body and the AFM.

Just follow the write up. MKI MR2 Write-ups

Here is a picture of it installed, and in the green circle is the VSV you will have to relocate somewhere.

it's the a/c idle up.

i thought the ac idle up was the bigger solinoid on the drivers fender well with the white adjusting screw?

the adjustment is but that's the VSV for the a/c idle up.

espguitarist33 · 10-13-2009, 11:51 AM

so theres 2 pieces to the a/c up basically?

Well, there is the VSV to engage the system when the compressor kicks on and then the "white adjusting screw" which is used to control the change in RPM.
