We have aircon on our KE70 Panel Van. Not worth it at all as it robs the engine of too much power.

 

If we're on the freeway and push the aircon button, the whole car lurches forward due to the loss of power, it’s that noticeable! It’s gutless off the lights with the aircon on too.

 

Solution - wind your windows down!

Or replace the 4k with a 7k and re-fit the AC pump. :bash:

Thats one of the reasons why i havent looked too hard into aircon, as i was a bit iffi that it would rob the already laking in power that is in my car.

 

But air con would be nice..mmm vinal seats in 45deg weather =sticky :bash:

Could disconect it in winter, except it is handy to defog windows :doh:

Guys, we are rolling around in 30+ year old cars, just man up and wind the windows down!

 

Plus, if you bolt the aircon unit on, there's no room for a supercharger! :bash:
