Psilos Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hi guys. Ι want to improve my AC performance. Changed my AC compressor and the receiver, ok it works but at 40°C it cannot work properly. My mechanic says that the a/c condenser is small that's why the cooling capability is low... a bigger condenser cannot be installed due to small room in the engine bay. I found that Rover 400 has double sized a/c condenser and radiator installed both together and not separated as in civic mb's. Is it possible to install rover's condenser and radiator in mb/ma engine bay? Here are the rover parts I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzVTIS Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Heya bud imho, dual rads are a terrible idea. They are both looking to dissipate heat, but when connected, if you feel the desire to move rapidly or it's a very hot day, the heat in the rad will affect the condensers ability to be effective, thus you would lose cooling ability. I guess it's like putting you home fridge in front of the radiator, if the fridge can;t shift the heat, the gasses can't re condense and the fridge loses it's ability to be effective. I think it would more be a limit to the age of the technology of the aircon, pressures used today are greater and condensers are far more efficient. I say delete the aircon, get a bigger rad and just drive faster with all the windows down! haha! I say when my MB6 VTIs still has it's full aircon :P 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Have to agree with Adz about it seeming like a bad idea to share cooling duties with the engine. Have you looked into seeing if there's an upgrade? These ones look like they're more chunky than the standard? (but can't remember as it's so long since I've had air con on my car). You'll have to make sure they'll fit though. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsg-test-11.slatic.net%2Fp%2F16fc733d09b5b70b4fcdabea3a96ad09.png&tbnid=YSSntC5baq6DZM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lazada.com.ph%2Fproducts%2Fcivic-laminated-evaporator-esiekegvtilxicrv-1st-honda-car-aircon-parts-i112056049.html&docid=JqTek4HNHjZmzM&w=1080&h=1080&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=8ab1c69962d3ba71&shem=abme%2Ctrie#vhid=YSSntC5baq6DZM&vssid=mosaic https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173380831207?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fdbxb7XvSMO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VPkI41u3Sse&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilos Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Thank you both for your replies. I don't know either if they will fit dr_broon I'll do my research though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
