The Detailed E30 R-134a Conversion Thread/DIY

[Falconer]

AutohausAZ has a PF condenser for $103 shipped, it's cheaper than the old Behr replacement and is a drop in replacement.d.

Is this it? The Nissens one?

If you can track it down R-414b, dupont came out with a direct swap for R-22. You dont need to change the condenser, evaporator, metering device or the compressor. Im running it right now and it works great.

is that the cheapest people are finding for a condenser? $100?

So, my old r12 dryer had two pressure switches. My new 134a dryer has only one switch. should i just double up the wires both going to the same switch?

Everything else is done so i'm stoked to get this thing charged.

Just finished installing all my ac parts as well as the PF condenser. Im running the stock aux fan. Charging up tomorrow will post results

That connects to another pressure switch. pre-'91 e30s had two separate switches.

Ok, I've got a High+low pressure switch in one housing from an E36. Pic attached here. Which connector is the high switch and which one is the low switch?

Thanks

Check for continuity, the low pressure would be open circuit with the switch uninstalled. The High would be closed.

just finished charging my system after installing the new parts. This is the coldest AC EVER!

At idle my vent temp is 36 degrees.
