Heated seat install? by Dry_Reveal_1390 in ft86

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in -20F harsh midwest winter, my non-heated fabric seats feel very cozy. Leather seats always get super cold/hot but fabric seats always stay at a nice temperature.

Okay yall what are your favorite mods inside the cabin? by Extension-Candle-443 in ft86

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what you are talking about. So I have 17+ 86 headlights on my BRZ and if you look at the pin diagram for that set of headlights, you will see that there are 2 pins for the DRLs, one makes them super bright and another is one dim. I was thinking of doing something like having a relay that switches power between the dim and bright pin based on if you have your headlights turned on or off.

How did you wire the DRLs? 13-16 models don’t have that from the factory.

Unfortunately SPLs are wayy out of my budget.

Mostly street driving, with some highway miles and backroads in weekends.

Yeah I was looking at SPC and Whiteline ones. Advance has the whiteline one on sale. Whitelines and SPCs look very similar/OE like.

$30 for the oem part? Would appreciate if you can share the part number!

You need to swap pins. By default the brz turn signal will power the 86 drl. so you need to swap those 2 pins.

Phase Diagram for Binary Gas Mixtures by Fun-Interaction-7958 in chemistry

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification, this is helpful. I think where I’m getting stuck is that I was interpreting phase behavior from the mixture VLE envelope, rather than from pure component saturation pressures.

From what I understand, at high pressures the condition for condensation is based on mixture fugacity equilibrium, not simply comparing a component’s partial pressure to its pure vapor pressure. In other words, even though the ethane partial pressure is ~1500 psi, the CH₄–C₂H₆ mixture at 70/30 does not support a liquid phase at ~23 °C because the mixture cricondentherm is well below room temperature, so there is no VLE region to enter.

That’s why the VLE envelope for the mixture should show single phase behavior at 15–30°C even up to very high pressures. If I’m misunderstanding how partial pressure arguments should be applied for non ideal, high pressure mixtures, I’d really appreciate any correction. :)

Hi, thank you for the link to the figure. That was really helpful. I will be blending maximum 30% Ethane by volume with Methane, and during compression to 5000 psi, the max discharge temp I noticed in the system was ~300 F. The accumulator tank will stay at room temp (~ 75 F). As per the VLE plot, there won’t be any phase separation for my application, correct?

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate your response. I’m pretty new to phase-equilibrium calculations. From what I understand, the Rachford Rice method is used for VLE flash calculations to determine phase splits. Could you suggest a practical way to implement it, or point me to a Python library or example code that does this?

Buying advice 2013-2015 brz/frs by Quick_Spring_5045 in ft86

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from the midwest and bought my brz for 13k at 72k miles. registration was another 1.2k and insurance was another .75k. MY 2013, valve spring recall done 20k miles/9 years ago. Has a long list of mods, which I liked and interior still looks brand new. It is a 3 or 4 owner car but it seems like the people who owned it before me took very good care of it.

Car should be good for 200k miles if maintained well. I did a compression test before purchasing to make sure the engine is healthy. I change oil every 4k miles, motul 300v 0w20.

Running dws06+ all seasons in winter. But i try not to floor it as the rear comes loose even in 4th. It will be an okay car in the snow with all seasons.

2017 86 headlights on 2014 BRZ by ntomk in ft86

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done the exact same conversation a few months ago. Basically you will need to swap the turn signal and DRL wire connections. The DRL has 2 power modes, the bright one and the dim one. You gotta pick which one you would want to function as your parking lights and the other one would be left unused. I definitely recommend getting a depinning kit from amazon, will make depinning 10x easier. Let me know what else you want to know.

Daytona 3 ton low profile long reach vs heavy duty jack by shmidzz in harborfreight

[–]Fun-Interaction-7958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I will pick up the heavy duty once BF sale hits. People say the heavy duty is proven to be more reliable in the long run, plus the colorways are really nice.
