Upgrading to Parallel Flow Condenser

[redsubdivisions]

americancondenser.com tells me they can only sell to businesses. They suggested usautoparts.net and ac-condensers.com. Did you use either of those?

Tell them you're in the business of beating ass and taking names.

My 14" curved fan pushes out 2400 CFMs and the coldest I saw was 38 degrees @ 85 on the highway (M42 @4k). 44-54 was my normal unless idling then it would hit 58 because I had an old compressor.

What is the manufacturer and part# of this fan?

Dunno, but this is the one I had on my new and old E30. It sounds like a jet is taking off on high speed.

Glad to see you posted it on E30tech. I have yet to get my account approved on there otherwise this would have been cross posted. Some are skeptical about this but mine still works excellent to this day. I always feel better when contributions are effective to others. :up:

And you're just being crazy at this point.

I posted up the DIY here, but I'll have to wait for a mod to approve it.

got my a/c temp down to 42-45 driving/idle degree today!! got rid of 16spal pusher fan on condenser and use oem e36 radiator electric fan.

my previous set was only 16inch spal pusher fan on condenser getting 50-55 degree driving/idle.

can't wait to get my 2400 cfm 16inch fan.:p

I don't see how the e36 fan could blow that much more air than a spal 16". So did the 2400 cfm fan work better than the e36 fan?

what was the ambient temperature? and would you say it stayed 42-45 pretty consistent regardless of the current ambient temperature (ie +/-10 degrees?)

[bmwstephen]

man after driving around the peninsula, north, east, and south bay to test out my AC system, I noticed the biggest factor affecting the efficiency of a system is humidity. Could not believe that a dry city like Sacramento would yield better results as much as 10 degrees than places closer to water like Fremont/San Jose under the same temperatures.

[glucklich21]

Yup the E30 system just can't handle it. It honestly needs a larger condenser to get past it.
