TD04 kit with A/C Pics??

[Djaniero]

I'm going bolt my td04 kit on in the next couple of week. I was all for ditching the aircon, but with the recent hot weather, I've been thinking whether or not I should keep it?

I know Sacha does a smaller a/c condenser which allows you to keep your a/c when you go td04. Has anyone got any pics of his one, or done any similar mods in order to keep your a/c with your td04?

Thanks

what td04 kit are you going for?

if going for sachas td04 hybrid kit http://wepracing.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=128&Itemid=92

then it all fits, just need to route intercooler pipes around the air con pipes etc. it can be done with some ingenuity,

I've just got a braced ToyoSports kit that has been modded to run an external wastegate.

the kit will fit with a/c, but you will have to be ingenious with the intercooler pipes (DON'T bend the a/c pipes they break really easy), and it will all be tight will need time and patience

Sacha said the same thing . I've never fitted a td04 kit before, but willing to give it a try. The FMIC kit I have was fitted to a GT before with no a/c. So will I have to have new custom pipes made up if I'm keeping the a/c?

probably wont need custom pipes,

from memory (a long time ago) you will need a 90 degree elbow from the turbo at the same size as the outlet of the turbo.

then you will need a small length of pipe at the same size, then you will need a reducer hose to go from the small pipe out the turbo and onto the big u-bend that goes to the intercooler.

use a civic rad and civic condenser side by side
