Nice! Looking good, love to see more.

Here’s a few I don’t want to cloud up your thread . I wish I would have done a build thread but I never intended for it to go this far

Mmm, factory fresh!

Was the old one damaged or just upgraded?

The old one was damaged. All four channels worked, but they would cut off and distort, so basically I had to leave it on the rears and keep volume down. Now it works great!

I hope it keeps working, I gave up on it..

Me too lol. At the end of the day if it fails I am just going back to an S52 compressor, direct wire it and the fan to the AC button and call it a day lol.

Weathers been killer.... What did you use to activate the Can on the ECU?

Justin's diagram.we had to rewire a bit due to Gen 1 and 2 being pinned out differently.

Small, (well actually HUGE) update. She comes home tomorrow with working AC for the first time!! After all this time the Canbus was bad. I finally got the Gen 2 connected and the AC fires up cold and runs well:)

Here are some pics a photographer took at the shop during a car show they held there.

So I havent updated this thread in a while. I didnt want to post pics that we had in the COTM until it passed a little. So since that was back in August I thought I would post some pics in here now, plus a few that didnt make it into the post.

Enjoy!

I'm glad I've discovered your build, really great stuff and I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions. I want AC in my swap, but right now I'm occasionally getting MAF codes and the suggestion I got was that anything but a stock air intake is sketchy. Do you have details on how you finagled the setup of a stock airbox?

So we shortened the tube and then removed the bottom of the airbox. Right now its really an open air element (stock filter) into the airbox. I am going to fabricate a shield on the bottom when I get some time. We are using the stock MAF.
