    condensor fans????

    Just wondering whats peoples thoughts of running the a/c without the condensor fans and just using the isuzu fan and cowling. Would it pull enough air, mine will also be pulling through a 90mm thick intercooler
    (hence no cond. fans).
    Was speaking to someone on here about it and they said it works fine for them, but they do live in tassie
    Whats your thoughts or ideas to make this work?

    yep it'll work but it may struggle if you have the engine RPMS down and the heat load in the cab up.


    the problem is 2 fold

    1. the compressor is slowing down so your not getting as much refigerant flow
    2. the airspeed over the condensor is lower so your not as likely to achive full condensation out of what you do have going in.

    Think I told you, I was just going to stick a micro switch on the throttle, so the compressor was off at idle, which i think will work ok, although their is a good chance I'll never make my AC go in the near future.........

    Bare in mind the Taswiegan fella travels aus in the hotter bits

    Nah not that Taswiegen, the other Isuzu freak from over there
    Yeah forgot about the micro switch thingy, that'll work ok.
    could also help with a larger flowing engine fan

    That makes sense as I think JC still has his fans?

    Just suck it and see to start with, before changing fans

    yeah will do, was just thinking out loud, took the D1 to melbourne today with the fam and tandem on to pick up the new wood heater and ducted reverse cycle a/c, and boy it sucked coming home loaded up, had to turn the a/c of as car was heating up and boy oh boy that thing is gutless, don't care who says 300tdi's are great, stick a trailer on and what a POS.
    hence the a/c will need to work in the rangie WHEN i get it going

    it embarrasing, really, couldn't outrun a crappy 70's dyna today when we had no load on, he sat on 100 and didn't budge, we passed him, hit a slight hill he passed us, this went on for ages, and the hills were on the Princes Hwy around Warrigul (What hills).
    I need to tint the windows darker.
    So after the house is built it Zoozoo time (with a/c)
    (oh and now she wants a dual cab ute)

    Oh please!



    I push the 130 thing a bit (i'd prefer a D3), she was looking at a GMC pick up, then saw the price.
    it'd have to either be a Td5 or Isuzu, auto would be nice aswell
