- Even before we purchased the car, they warned that the "cooler of the air conditioner is missing"
- more than that, I think the compressor is also missing !
- but I have a compressor from earlier (searching for it ;-)
- I'll check if it's driven by the same type of belt. Beltspeed (compressor RPM at max RPM)
Anyway, since most of the A/C seems to be in place, it is probably possible to make A/C work so the car gets highly suitable to travel to KOE (King of Europe race, in 2007 held in Poland)
A/C Control related thoughts
- disable compressor at max TPS
- disable compressor during cranking
- after disabled, do NOT enable for 20 seconds (to prevent compressor clutch wear and belt abuse)
MembersPage/PaulF - also should disable A/C if pressure is too low (method depends on type of pressure sensor). For vehicles without IAC valve it would be useful to be able to disable A/C at a speed/pedal point (to prevent engine stall)
Clearance
- 1 seems to be part of the air conditioner
- 2 break cylinders and break fluid tank
- 3 main radiator for engine coolant
- there seem to be enough space in front of it for the air conditioner cooler. In fact, with the charge cooler's space requirement, I cannot imagine any other mounting position for the air conditioner radiator
- 4 mounting flange for ... (?)
- 5 mounting flange for the alternator. The front (circular shaped) part was probably used for mounting the small (18 cm tall) factory charge cooler. A bigger charge cooler would not clear this, so modifications needed with a bigger charge cooler.
- 6 ... (?)
