(I don’t know if he’s still on that one). That’s just one issue-his refrain that this works you just need to keep trying this or that is frustrating. The system is under designed, any engineer can see that. Trying to package like he has to leave us trunk space was a total non-starter. I’ll give up the trunk because I believe that’s the right approach to getting an adequate system without a mechanical compressor, unless Johnny can get me an inverter that runs at the voltages of EVs.

Any DIY mechanic with basic knowledge of electrical wiring and A/C system (installing A/C lines, fittings and seals, etc) can install CR A/C. Plus you do not have to have two condensers...one condenser works fine. Having two condensers slightly reduces outlet temp.

This CR A/C kit is not cheap. I paid around $4k but that was 5 years ago. I'm glad I have this CR A/C kit (my car was formally a track/street car with removed A/C components by PO) and I did not want to have a compressor in the engine bay when I decided to add A/C.
