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 !!! |

You've made quite a bit of progress on your AC unit. What kind of readings do you have on your suction and discharge ports? Also, how much 134 did it take to fill your system?
Keep the pics coming...thanks. |

Keep the pics coming...thanks. I did look at the pressures and they were 230-260 high side & 20-30 low side. I used two 12 oz cans of R-134. The numbers were in my garage at about 100 degrees. At that time I was only using an expansion valve and nothing else, since I have installed a temperature clutch cycling switch which works much better. The unit is adjustable and minimizes the compressor on time. I still need to plum the vents, now it dumps out directly in front of the shifter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
