A/C & Front Mount Intercooler April 11, 2013, 10:16:05 PM This is a question for those of you who have r-134a A/C setups in your Fox, with a Front Mount Intercooler installed as well.How well does your A/C work? What temperature does the air blow out of the vents at idle/cruise? I'm looking to keep the A/C in my Bird no matter what, even when I go with a larger turbo, but am wondering how well it will actually work with the A/C Condenser sandwiched between the extremely hot Intercooler and Radiator. I understand that r-134a setups typically require more volume of cold air flowing through the condenser, to prevent short cycling of the compressor, than what R-12 setups do. I'd imagine that cold air will be hard to come by with a 350F + hot plate mounted right in front of it. Maybe add a pusher e-fan in front of the condenser? Anyone with experience here? Quote Selected
A/C & Front Mount Intercooler Reply #1 – April 12, 2013, 12:15:25 AM its not going to be 350* unless you are really beating on the car, which is not normally the case when the a/c is on anyway. I've never had too many problems on my burgundy bird other than it leaking the Freon out. Worked great till I had to reroute lines around the turbo. At this point I think I have a clogged orfice tube because sometimes it will be cold as ice and sometimes not cold at all. I don't think the IC affects it at all. Quote Selected
