Full Version: original AC kit FS
I have a AC Kit that appears to be a dealer installed AC.system. I'm not 100 percent sure it was dealer installed but it was well done and very clean install. I am stripping my car down for a rebuild will be going with a heat /AC system. I'm asking 199.00 it was not running when I purchased the car. My car has electrical issues and I had no power to the AC. I am not sure if the blowers are working. It does have a small crack in the evaporate unit. Click to view attachment
FYI - that looks to be the VPC (Volkswager Products Corp.) P+A-dealer installed version of the AC, with the rectangular evaporator in the front trunk (the DPD version was round & flat-top-conical so the spare sat over it & lower in the trunk than the VPC version, where the spare & tire board sits 2-4" higher)
When it was in the car, you probable noticed that the control knobs on the interior duct/console sit out of line & to the right of the ashtray/ventilation-heat control sliders, with the driver vent further to the right of the steering column - vs. the DPD with the dials stacked & the vent closer to the driver. The 3 center console gauges are staggered vs. stacked too - if it was a center console Appearance Group 73-76 2.0 (or 1.7, 1.8, 2.0 optional).
Those are the main ways to tell visually which is which. Jeff Bowlsby's 914 website has pix of both from the old dealer brochures too.
GLWTS!

Alrighty then. Another water pumper on the horizon. Which powerplant are you going with?
Tom thanks for clearing that up. I am still learning these cars and all the options. I could just tell it was an older design. It was installed very nicely with the hoses all routed nicely.
76-914
My water pumper is a Honda f20c, from the Honda S2000. I know of only one other car with this combination. I have had this plan in my head for about 6 years finally acting on it. I have put the s2000 motor in other cars before and it's one of my favorite engines 240 hp with 152 ftlbs should be fun in a 914. We will see if it's a good as I think it will be.
If it's not enough I have a Rotrex c38-91 sitting on the shelf and brackets for the s2000 which pushes it to 380hp range. I'm trying real hard to keep it simple. Just building a fun run around town car.
