A/c with PBM HMIC

Alright, I may be the first do so this lol i'm trying to figure it all out, now

I have found a small enough condenser to be mounted in front of the the latch support or behind it but covering a little bit of the interooler bottom.

But I was wondering about air flow to the rad and intercooler with the condenser in front.

also plan on mounting fans on the condenser to keep it cool and what not.

I don't know where in Ga you are, but I'm in Bama and you are trippin' if you think that car wont get to temp in the heat of summer.

I run a HMIC, Nismo tstat as well. The idea is horrible man. I don't understand why you wouldn't just use a FMIC. The HMIC is already not very efficient. Everything will suffer with the condensor crammed in front of everything.

And mounting it behind the radiator, seriously? Do you have something against doing things the right way, or do you just want to be different?

it hasnt gotten to temp since ive had the car, anywho, mainly I like the boost response, and my front end is already hacked up anyways so doing a front mount would be retarded. And I would just like to figure out a possible solution, if you don't have any ideas then don't post.

My idea is to take some advice from someone who does know wtf they are talking about.

Front end cut up. What??

How long have you had the car? If it doesn't get up to temp when it is 95° outside then you have an issue.

The HMIC doesn't make enough of a response difference to even feel. It's in your head obviously.

Fair enough. Let's see what we can come up with.

Is the condensor in between the rad and IC in this pic?

Not in that pic but he did another setup like that with the condenser, I also thought about moving the rad forward about half an inch, that would give me room to mount it in front of the rad.

Your definitely going to want it in front of the rad. Condensors need all the cool air they can get to work effectively. I think that would be the best option.

Have you figured out how you will run your lines? Shouldn't be much of a problem, but will have to be custom I would think.

Post a pic of your "hacked up" front end so we have a better idea by what you mean. Then we'll have a gooder idea on the gooderest idears to give you.

I'll try..

But i've thought about moving the intercooler forward to give enough space for a condenser, or moving the rad back.

I ditched that shitty HMIC for this. Cost a bit more, but I already had the GReddy core laying around.

Plenty of room for a condenser in there.

It's not possible unless you get some custom set up.

Most people do FMIC if they want to retain AC.

That's what I did.
