Mine just went out for the 3rd time, Friday. No real worries, never hardly use it, but this time I was stuck in 93 degree weather and a traffic jam, Pi$$ed me off.

The Turbonetics A/C line that goes under the turbo is heat wrapped... Then the A/C line that goes beside the turbo on the drivers side of the motor make sure you heat wrap very well.

I blame the shop who did my install originally on the kit, because they did not correctly heat wrap the top A/C line (had a leak) and looks like who ever they got to install the bottom A/C line hacked it up (where I also had a leak).

So I bought a new top A/C line and wrapped it better, and Reggie@Turbonetics is sending a new bottom A/C line.

Other than that the A/C was always good, and will be again cause damn it is getting hot :icon38:

Why is your going out?

k3silk May 29, 2006 05:23 AM

thats good to hear from you guys was all the heat wrap givin with the kit or did you guys buy more for extra protection?

chimmike May 29, 2006 05:52 AM

i bought extra because I wrapped all the exhaust pipes too

VashZ350 May 29, 2006 06:15 AM

just put in my TN kit on wednesday ..and no problem with the A/C yet

taurran May 29, 2006 08:44 AM

It's super. Thanks for asking.

BlkG35FujiCoupe May 29, 2006 10:25 AM

make sure you wrap or completly move the wires on top of the a/c compressor, as they can actually touch the wastegate recirculation tube (on the G35 kit anyways). and they are around 16 gauge so a touch with a hot knife would melt them through <sarcasm.

solidsnake May 29, 2006 02:44 PM

what AC? i havent had one since the kit was installed. ive gotten used to the heat but sticking to my leather seats is the worst, not t mention having to roll windows up when i get a phone call. My car is a moving sauna..lol. turbonetics needs to send me a line if they can..thanks!

Yes Turbonetics provides heat wrap, but if you need more than provided... Just call Dave at Altered Atmosphere, where you can order more of the same heat wrap as provided in the Turbonetics kit... Just tell him the Turbonetics part number and how many feet you need.

k3silk May 29, 2006 03:59 PM

Yeah i will have them prolly install it if i decide to get that kit. they are 5 min away from my house so i would just pick some up if i need it.

My a/c line was installed by a local repair shop prior to installing the TN kit for $318. Ouch. On the way home it leaked out some of the refridgerant which I actually thought was just leftover drips from the new (sloppy) install. Eventually (within a few days) leaked out all of it which we did not realize until after we installed the TN kit and it was all burning off. I brought the car back to the local guy who installed the A/C line and he said that the line was probably defective which I think is BS. And now he won't touch the car with the turbo because it's difficult to work on. Since then I had my friend from Turbotrix look at it when he was at my house and said the line wasn't installed properly.

So to answer your question -my A/C doesn't work at the moment.

My AC has never given me one single problem in 30k miles with the kit on...50k total on the car. Blows as cold as it did day 1. Although I don't use it often..

SoFla350z Jun 20, 2006 03:29 PM

The line they provided melted on me, even through there was heat shielding plus extra wrap. I just got done replacing it two days ago. Now the a/c hose that runs up top decided it wants to do the same thing, even through 3 layers of thermotec heat wrap. BTW, my a/c had been inop for the last three months due to the first a/c line going.

sentry65 Jun 20, 2006 03:40 PM

so you guys actually thermowrap the aluminum AC line that's on the driver side up at the top going around the turbo?
