The cabin temp got down to 77-78F in a fairly forgiving climate. I think the "Electric Cool-Aid" Acid Test (pun intended) will be established once Keith has his up and running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)


^ This is true but we are already ‘established’ in plenty of hot places.

The system has been around since 2017. We have over 350 systems shipped, that includes Texas, Florida, SoCal, Arizona, Carolinas in the US, but also Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Portugal, Australia and Abu Dhabi.

Patrick Motorsports in Arizona have had around 10 systems so far. Similar story for Parkhaus1 in Miami.

I fear Keith will run into the same issues we had 5 years ago if he uses the Benling compressor without any control.

Was at PMS yesterday for a little work and to get a update on there aircon 914 project. Wow is my only response. I didn’t take pics as I didn’t have permission from the owner and I was afraid to ask the cost. The battery was moved to the trunk and the unit sets where the battery tray was.

I think I will be there second customer for this..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Why not put it in the front trunk? Where is the condenser located?

When I talked to Johny about setting it up in a 914-6 he suggested the condenser in the right rear fender and the compressor under the trunk but above the right rear axle. No cutting involved and the lines were all kept short.
