I am working on a Subie conversion and am trying to figure out AC. I live in the desert (Phoenix) so AC will add a lot of usability to the car. Ideally I would like to blow air through the existing vents. I have searched a lot on the forum and see a lot of starts, but few functioning units. I am traveling to Texas today so I am going to check out Vintage Air and Old Air Products to see what products they might recommend for me to modify. Plan two is to hit the Pick and Pulls and search for the most compact evaporator I can find.
Any help or general suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ed |

There is a reason I'm going with custom made cores. But you're welcome to do as you please.

QUOTE(Chris914n6 @ Jun 7 2016, 01:34 PM)  There is a reason I'm going with custom made cores. But you're welcome to do as you please. I am by nature an impatient man. If you come up with a solution that is better I would be thrilled to write a check and have a proven solution. I am new to this board, but I have looked over years of posts and there seems to be lots of starts with few results. With that said, in the spirit of less than well thought out ideas, I am closing in on a plan. I visited Old Air Products in Ft Worth, Tx today and bought their 700 series product. http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/images/CAP-800.jpg My plan is to cut the unit in half, effectively separating the evaporate Core and box from the fans. My thought is to build a fan enclosure in the fresh air box, duct the air into the fans from the cabin (so it doesn't pull air from the trunk) and duct the air from the fans to the Evap box under the dash. I will give me AC and heat, the downside is their is no separation of defroster so and face level vents (so they will run simultaneously at least initially) My unit should show up this weekend, so I will play with it then. Clint from Old Air Products was pretty cool, he spent a lot of time with me figuring out a plan. I will keep it updated with progress any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. At best it will take some work, maybe look a tad strange but should work and can be made prettier later. At worse, I have certainly spent $400 on dumber projects. |
