- 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 hydraulic fluid container (central hydraulics fluid reservoir) for steering and brakes
- 2 break cylinders and break fluid tank (also for clutch)
- 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 belt driven "Central hydraulics pump"
- It looks like power steering and breaks
- 5 "front engine mount" (is that the proper name?)
- also serves as the mounting flange for the alternator
- The charge cooler has to be fitted either below or above the frame mounted part of the torque stop => seriously limits the max size charge cooler that can be fitted
- It's very common that a tuner removes the front engine torque absorber...once. Then they get tired of snapped and torn hoses (oops) and put it back in again.
- The torque stop can usually be modified a bit to give 10-20mm more clearance above the cradle. That also limits the movement of the engine and makes the car feel better (in Jorgen's opinion).
- 6 Fuel filter
Charge cooler - maybe make a separate page ? It competes for space with AC cooler
- [ 600x300x76 mm charge cooler, sounds hard to fit] Note: actually 610mm wide + sides
- [ big 850x450 mm charge cooler that will not fit]
