[T3] Dark thoughts on the winter solstice


I said Id do this a few days ago but with the shopping and all...

I got to reading the A/C article in VWT and it made me wonder...  When I eventually get to the T4
Conversion in the Square I  MAY have an engine that can handle AC!

Now I would never (nor is there anymore room) mount an under dash unit such as the dealer option,
however a thought of using the existing heat distribution system... and maybe a couple of extra
couplings to the center vents... I can see that happening!  Of course it would have to be a 134a
system and there are some fundemental problems with using that stuff on this type of application as
well as my having to get past the desire not to hang too much crap on my car..Hmmm

The problem of how much power they rob is still very much an issue.. its ALOT!  I have an R12 on my
turbo RX7 and it rob's off nearly ALL the low end... and since its so noticable on a high-output
engine I imagine it could be crippling on even a 2.0 T4 motor... things to consider.  Has anyone out
there with a T4 conversion used AC with it??

Anywho... Happy holidays and new year to everyone!

and lets hope 2002 brings lots of new T3 goodies to us!

Keith
