hey guys just wondering if anyone has tried this? i would liek to do a forward facing set up but still keep my ac... yes i no the stock ac condensor wont work or even if it does it defeats the purpose of doing a forward, but i was thinking of getting an ac condensor out of a civic that has a condensor half the size of ours and mount it infront of the mini rad then just extend the ac lines to meet it and recharge the system? as far as the fabricating side of it goes it will be pretty easy but would it still work and blow cool? i hardly ever use my ac but still like to have it there for the 10 mins a year i use it haha

 

thats what i was thinking that it wouldnt be as cold, you think it would still be cool, or just like outside air blowing by you haha?

 

nice thanks

 

I know cwill built the TD autowerks red car with a Front Facing manifold and it still had A/C, maybe try talking to him since you're local.

 

oo snap really? im def gonna go in and talk to him then! thanks

 

yea I saw the car in person, it was a sick street car and there's really no drawbacks with still running AC, the car ran like mid 9's on street trim...I'll probably do that in the future.

 

man thats perfect, thats exactly what i wanna do a sick street car and still be able to use my ac when i cant put the windows down

 

any other inputs?

 

its been done with the fullblown kit buschur also says you could get it it to work with his kit

oo sweet nice thread!

 

I think Shearer was thinking about doing it but not sure. if you daily drive it you have run it with a filter as well. and if you stick on stock ecu you would have to be on Speed Density and someone that can tune it as well.

 

Definitely need a filter if you're daily driving it, oh remember that you asked me if I was tuning my own car? Well, I wont be back down South for like 4 months(Internship), so im gonna have to learn how to now, maybe even do SD by myself

 

Damn bro well good luck with the internship. The tuning should come easy once you start playing with it and understanding it. There's so much info on this site I'm sure you'll get that hang of it.

 

I was just talking to my buddy about this today...forward facing with AC would be sweet....

 

Thanks man.

Evokid what turbo are you thinking of running? You have to consider the added costs like Dmo said, because its either standalone or SD in this case.
