Elec Air Cond, PMS Options

[Coondog]

I have been waiting for Patrick Motor Sports to start installing this in 914s. I have reached out to them and will pass on any info given. Not a fan of the vent set up in this Patrick car but anything custom could be done in there shop.

Keith and I are playing around with different options all based on the Benling DM18A7 Electric compressor, aftermarket condenser, 911 condenser and off the shelf evaporators. Hopefully in a month we should be able to post something. Classic retrofit said they would sell this console evaporator separately. I am seeing the Benling electric compressor on evil bay for under $800.00. So if your a hobbyist the total solution is not that expensive if you piece mail it yourself. Do the math.... Benling compressor on the lowest setting is 40 amps + evaporator fans, condenser or oil cooler fans if your using a 911 condenser in front of your six oil cooler. A 2.7 alternator is 70 amps and a 3.2 alternator is 90 amps. With LED headlights, what else are you powering....??
This makes sense for a six conversion, for a four or water cooled power plant your better off with a standard belt driven compressor. Check out my blog for a picture of my condenser setup. The 911 condenser is about the length and height of a Mazda cooler, so you would need to modify your GT shroud to make it fit.

40 amps is on low or the lowest scroll rpm. Medium is 60a and high is 96a IIRC. Not that it won’t work and I hope it does. Lots of people need AC in their 914’s. I like the look of the evaporator Keith selected. As I told Keith, hose routing is very tight under the dash. I needed to flatten mine down to get past the steering column.
