Working on an old water-cooled 914 project with an ac system. I (may)want to re do the whole thing properly. It came with a DPD or vpc condenser box (dont know which it is)I may need another evap case but dont want the under dash vent piece.
Questions...Is the old tube/fin evap worth using? If converted to 134 and a big modern condenser will it get cold enough to be as good as original? It Has a sd508 and barrier hose(i think?) already The stock evap case(stripped down without vents) I am finding can actually fit behind the dash with just the lower motor/fan showing(radio and glove box was already deleted) Has anyone here done this? The open end of the box will need to be capped with 2 small duct hoses to each vent, at minimum I suppose. . Has any one done it this way?, the fit is so good I would think someone has done this to hide the unit (no radio or glove box though) (condensation/drainage may have stopped others from trying this with the box at this angle but I think it can be made to drain without splatter maybe) So, I may want to get another bare evap box with usable evap coil in it if anyone has, (locked/burned motor would be fine (mine seems good) . or other parts I may need to try this. and any input would be appreciated, I think I have read most all of the posts on ac conversion here but I have not seen where anyone has put the evap box behind the dash. |

This is a post in the classifieds...
I didn't realize before my previous post. BAD Ninja! I have been "called out" for posting excessively in the classifieds before. Your system looks tidy and nice. And I learned something. Just 86 the glove box! Gives more/better options! Ninja OUT! (at least in a classifieds post). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) |
