It's getting HOT and summer far from over. I'm looking for alternatives to a conventional HVAC system. I like the ideal of electronically run ac and heating system that will not rob power from the engine. I was wanting to know if anyone swapped HVAC system from an electric vehicle?

Thanks in advance. |

just incase you are wondering what I'm running it's a WRX EJ20. At the moment I have the car set up without AC and a heater but planning to incorporate that in the future. My alternator output is about 75 amps. I want to make it clean and simple under dash. thinking electrical for both ac & heating but not ruling out conventional HVAC system.
I like all the ideals thus far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I found this on youtube university. I know it's not a Porsche but it has some useful information about electrical ac system. Check out where he put the ac condenser, WILD! I didn't think it would cool the freon efficiently in that location. https://youtu.be/mRo05wph2F0 Also, Call me crazy for thinking of heating system as well in the middle of summer. What options are there to keeping the cabin toasty in winter other than heat exchangers? Any electrical options out there? |
