I'm sure I can remember a pic of an RFSV engine bay that had an air compressor sitting above the alternator with double pulley. Air con compressor would then stay where it would be fitted.

Thanks John!!! They system looks good (not fussed on the fake wood though ;) ). Do you have a price?
However it says it is only ~7000 btus. Seems a bit small???
Our resident AC expert posted this in another thread when I asked about an ideal AC system:
Haultech use a 6HP diesel to drive their truck AC system:Quote:

It may help to mention here that most if not all Honda 4 cyl engines rotate counterclockwise, therefore the compressors are not compatible unless mounted the other side of the fan belt...Quote:

I will see if I can call into CoolDrive through the week and see what they have to say.
I would be interested in what they have to say as well. The cabs of most big rigs are huge and I would expect them to be a similar size to a county...Quote:

i need to be careful but i'll write it as factual as i can
that Kool ideas unit that is pictured earlier in this thread is the exact same unit i tried in the 90. i wasn't that convinced on the unit so i made sure it was returnable before i bought it.
i met terry when he was in perth and had a face to face chat about how best to maximise the results.
i built a cargo barrier behind the front seats (def 90) and put on a perspex screen effectively making a single cab and positioned ther condensor just behind my steering guard with the fans pushing air over the unit and obviously when moving - ram air also doing it's bit.
i got the system all charged to correct levels and for some reason it would only blow 'warm' air. - the day itself if i remember correctly was mid/late 30's
i was able to get hold of terry (through a friend who knows him) on the phone and handed him over to the guy who was charging my system.
on terry's advise we charged in more gas and was able to get 1 corner of the evaporater 'cool'.
got terry on the blower again and was told that it was because "i had the fans pushing air into the condensor as opposed to pulling"
no worries says i and jumped in the car, took it up to 90kph (thinking the ram air + the fans "pushing" would more than compensate for them not "pulling".
unfortunately still no difference.
i've removed the unit from the car - given it back and am still waiting on my cash. - i've been told many times it's coming but hey, we'll see!
when i met terry in perth he did say that he had a few problems on some units fitted into trucks and that it was because of some of the plastic lines and that he was going to replace them with copper lines.
i can't comment on wether this has helped the unit because mine had the plastic lines.
i'd also like to add that i think the unit was designed as a system to keep a cab a comfortable temp when a truckie is bedding down for the night. i'm sure that for this purpose it would be ideal, but as a stand alone unit (from my experience) can't cope.
sorry for the long winded reply
