    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.

    my previous set was only 16inch spal pusher fan on condenser getting 50-55 degree driving/idle.
    what was the ambient temperature? and would you say it stayed 42-45 pretty consistent regardless of the current ambient temperature (ie +/-10 degrees?)

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

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