As stated I am starting to look at what I need to do to build an A/C system for my 914.
Since my power steering seems to be working great I can move on to the next thing on the list.. I am using a "V" belt system and really don't want to change it over, besides the cost may be more than I want to spend. If someone knows a cheaper way to add a serpentine system let me know.. (I have a first generation SBC). My thought was to decide on a compressor and use the condenser, evaporator, dryer which go's with system.. I've looked into an electric compressor but I have enough amperage blasting through my car already and I don't know what voltage thy run on.. I may switch over to a electric water pump to free up space but I 'm not sure. suggestions welcome !!! |

Looks great. Looks like your on your way to some cool air! Very intersting mod using the toyota evaporator. I'll be looking forward to seeing how it works for you. Are you going to vent the cold air into the fresh air vents?
I've been working on my AC as well, although I pulled my motor...had to pull the transmission anyway for an H gear swap. How are you going to run your lines to the condensor? I still have to find a condensor and buy some custom lines. Here's a pic of my setup. Attached thumbnail(s) |
