Wez Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hey All, How easy would it be to install a focus washer bottle level on the supra, I would like an LED to light up on the dash when mine is approx 3/4 empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thats a cool idea. Ive often thought if it were possible to put simple electronics from other cars into the supra. So keep us posted on this one! One thing ive always thought would be a good idea, is something like a fuel computer to show your current MPG like on the new golfs.

Ian W Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 why not just keep it topped up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thinking about a low level warning as I will be using the tank for water/meth injection as well as window washers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thinking about a low level warning as I will be using the tank for water/meth injection as well as window washers well you didn't say that did you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Looking at that switch, just drill a hole in the washer bottle at the height you want the warning to be, then wire it up +12v -- warning led -- switch -- ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 nice to see a fellow scrapyard rummiger, i moved my washer bottle to the boot to make way for coolers, the "new" one came out of a mazda and the level switch out of a merc, the only thing i would say about the type of level switch you have is it would "bounce" a bit when reaching low level and the warning light would flicker a bit, other than that just drill a hole and make sure you get it the right way up try to keep it mounted level as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Doesnt have to be from a car either(unless you have a spare). Plenty of flow switches on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 The focus one above is approx 25 quid incl delivery, found the same thing in RS for 12 quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I top it up after each boosted run. Why take chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thinking about a low level warning as I will be using the tank for water/meth injection as well as window washers Aquamist do a level sensor that goes with the DDS-3 gauge, which could easily be adapted, you just need to cut a hole in the tank you want to use and tighten up a nut.

paul mac Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 OK I now want a DDS3 http://www.aquamist.co.uk/press/DDS3-v8.jpg that does look cool, keep us up to date with this Wez i am particularly interested in how it performs on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 OK I now want a DDS3 http://www.aquamist.co.uk/press/DDS3-v8.jpg Don't know which kit you have but i have run an Aquamist 2C kit on two different cars for the last three years, and i started out with the first gauge they did the DDS-2, and them changed for the DDS-3 works very well, the in tank switch will cut the pump if the levels get low and also lets you know if you have blocked jet etc, the 2C kit can be run from the sub injector map of an emanage:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
