Another silly question!
Does the 914 have air conditioning? |

Something like these Tesla units? https://www.ebay.com/bhp/electric-ac-compressor that price is right... no idea what other parts you would need but that's usually the expensive piece. If anyone else is interested in this I am SUPER interested in figuring this out. its HOT in Texas!
Edit: What about something like this? How on earth do you install this? https://www.southernrods.com/a-c-and-heat-c...mplete-kit.html |

How on earth do you install this? https://www.southernrods.com/a-c-and-heat-c...mplete-kit.html We live near DFW airport, and my wife's 914 has working air. The stock under dash system used r12 and a huge York compressor that sucked the power out of the motor. Converting to a rotary compressor and R134a will get a working system that is fairly good. Adding a 911SC condenser and a couple of fans to the underside of the engine lid and running it in series with the dealer installed condenser, plus replacing the fan on the dealer installed condenser will make the AC work great. The 4 cylinder stock alternator can't keep up with the load imposed by a 12v electric compressor. It just doesn't make the amps to support a electric compressor. There is a thread on here that describes how to make an evaporator to replace the fresh air blower. 914 In Dash Evaporator. I plan on doing that to my 4.0L six. I am going to use an electric compressor, but the 964 engine my 4.0 is based on has a 180amp alternator, so it will handle the load. |

Clay, curious how that evaporator will work in Texas since it cannot recirculate air. Even in so cal, I have to recirculate the air in my daily driver rice rocket to cool the car in the summer. |
