New A/C question

[speedman]

Now that I have cold air coming out. I have the feeling it does not matter how cold the air is, that I will never get the inside of my Targa cool because there is not enough air flow. If I use a Hurricane fan motor can the fan itself produce more air flow without stalling out?

The Hurricane fan made quite a difference...worth it for me driving in TX, FL, and HI.

What happened with the other thread now that you are blowing cold air?

Did you answer this?

Once you re-test, JAR0023 provided you a link to the temp/press chart for ES-12a; that's a good start.



You're probably right, likely too much refrigerant. But at this point it's only a guess because you don't have an accurate/reliable/comparable baseline of low/high pressures due to your testing procedures.

If you read the Envirosafe literature, they say (by weight) ES-12a replaces R12 at a .33 (1:3) ratio -- one ounce ES-12a for every 3 ounces R12. My stock system specifies 39 ounces R12, which would equate to 12.87 ounces of ES-12a (barely over 2 cans). Do you know the refrigerant specification (by weight) for your system?

Nice. I didn't notice he had been banned, as I have him on ignore.

Anyway - back to the question.

Yes - the hurricane fan makes a difference. I put it in my Targa (in Houston) and my air blows so cold sometimes, I have to turn it down.

The other things to do - install the Kuehl switch, so you don't have to worry about the 3 speed fan. Get the Kuehl adjustable center vent, and put it where the "bowtie" used to be. Then you can direct the flow better.

If I ever get motivated, I'm going to get the windows tinted. That big back window is like a greenhouse. That should help a little more.

Make sure your evap box is sealed and make sure the bottom of the evap core it is clear from fuzz. I can't remember if you put a new one in so that (fuzz) may not be an issue.

Hurricane make a huge difference in hot climates.

For me it makes the most difference when you have a heat soaked car that has been in the sun. taking the car from a garage and doing a road trip at speed, its not as needed. stop and go, parking lots, heat soaked cars, its REQUIRED.
