Engine bay looks huge without all the turbo stuff in there.

Gonna be a wicked street truck WITH a/c

 

Nice! Glad you got it going!

 

I never had a turbo street truck without AC, and I've built quite a few! Richard just did it wrong

 

Well I dont really know yet. Idle was way lean and my laptop battery died before I could do any tuning. Maybe tomorrow after I mow the grass


This AC reinstall is becoming a huge pain in the ***. Replaced the hvac unit from an 01. The compressor I got is on 05 I think so the hoses are different amd sensors are different than my year. The condensor is generic so its all janky. Better be friggin cold when Im done with it!

And yea there is a ton of room where the turbo was. The ac lines take up some of that though.

 

Finally!! It's gonna be awesome to finally see how it performs.

 

Soooooo how do the logs look

 

So far, not too good

Didnt have time yesterday to work on the tune any

 

burnouts... burnouts... burnouts...

 

the AC install will be totally worth it. It's been right at 100 degrees every day recently here in Houston and my Honda has a quite good AC system, but when it gets this hot it's mildly inadequate. I drove the truck in to work today and even with the blower only on setting 2, I was extremely comfy. I will admit though, the 5% tint all the way around on the truck makes a huge difference compared to the 35 or 50% bs that's on my other car.

 

It damn well better!

The hard part has been finding the right lines, the right sensors, and the right connectors (since I cut mine off somewhere). I think I am becoming an expert on the AC systems in these trucks haha. Be mindful of the difference between a sensor and a switch. A switch is either on or off, while a sensor provides constant feedback and is always on I suppose.

There is a low pressure switch on the drier/accumulator and a high pressure switch on the compressor. The 02+ systems have a high pressure sensor on the high pressure line as well.
