parallel condenser

If it's 41F at a decent driving speed, I'd have to say that's at least somewhat of an upgrade. Looks like I'll be doing this in the near future.

Well all I can tell you is that at around town speeds, about 45 mph, I am getting 41 degree duct temp. The idle duct temps are not as impressive.

that's normal for r134a system which yo shitz is working lol. mine is like 55-60 while driving in 100+ temp outside.

screw ackits!! There should be a company out there selling them for 100 bucks or close to it.

I take it you have had a bad experience with them? I agree that over $200 is pushing it, but give us some insight on what you had to deal with.

Not trying to thread jack, but...

Considering I live in ridiculously hot weather, would you say it's better or the same performance after putting the PF in? I am seriously contemplating this. I have converted my whole system to R-134 and I have replaced my compressor, expansion valve, drier, flushed out all my lines, cleaned my evaporator, and it's not as cool as I would like it on a 90+ degree day. I personally think a lot of it has to do with how the heat barely disperses from the old tube and fin design (and obviously how R-134 doesn't work insanely well with this type of condenser either).

I have checked other E30 forums and Googled this shit out of this, but I have yet to see if anyone has seen a noticeable difference from the replacement. I know that a PF is much better than the tube and fin design, but I'm the kind of person that would like my answers to be verified. lol Let us in on the info!

It was 173 shipped last year, around October. I know it is more than I wanted to spend. But I called all over, including Vista Pro directly and I could not find anyone except Rob at ackits, who could GUARANTEE they would ship me a PF condenser. Everyone else was saying they THINK I will get PF, but I could get a serp.

I bought it from ackits. I called there and talked to Rob and he verified that it would be PF. It cost me $173 shipped. There is a long thread on e30tech, you may have seen it there.

Clydesdale, how is it $173 shipped? I just checked the site and it said $203.20 for the part alone. I would be on this if it's indeed $173 shipped.

Where can I buy a direct fit parallel condenser for e30?
