Vortech + 85 degree = Killed my A/C.
 

Many of you guys know that, this is my first time went FI. Many headche but there was fun and learned many stuff about the car and FI. ( i'm sure there is more things to learn )

Couple days ago, i finally fixed my boost gauge and had fun over weekend. My belt became lose, so this morning i tighted it up the belt and looked over everything again before leave the house ( I had to go many place, town to town..).

I'm not a big fan of 'driving in hot weather', specially TX hot..but had no choice today. Went to this place and other place and then other place. During that hot weather..suddenly i felt warm air comming out from A/C ( mutaFa*ka air got hotter and hotter!!:mad:)....

Got home looked under the hood. I can hear leaking from A/C line..I guess, time to go fix A/C....:(

Who willing to install Vortech in future, put some heat wrap around the A/C line. Just to be safe.

sorry to hear that.

which piece of the AC line is leaking? I had a leak last year too from the piping rubbing against the rubber hose.

don't worry man, it's an easy fix. The long upper ac line is 85 dollars brand new. Very easy to install . you just need an AC line disconnecter. Getting it refilled is about another 90-140 bucks.

I haven't do leak test yet, but sounds comming under blower. :dunno: Did you fix it? if do how much did it cost you?

That's what i read from my research. I have to go look for how other people installed. Thanks for the price list.

Sorry to hear chef. Im gonna double wrap mine!

no problem man, if you need help with install, just let me know. i have already done this...lol.

lolz:icon21:

good advice :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I went to an AC specialist and had it fixed. It was expensive (250) bc I needed it fixed right away. They replaced the rubber line under the blower with a very thick one compared to the stock one so it wont leak again if the pipes rub. Also it included the green dye and AC refill.

good to know, thanks for the heads up

Thanks, i guess have to go check my local shop
Coo, i will shoot you PM if i have a Q :)

:thumbup2: hurry up and install your SC man, did you order pulley yet?

yep!! the 2.87 from the link you gave me. Iam going to get the belts from car quest. There local to me. I think they carry gates belts too. We'll see. Somewhere to start I guess

I split a piece of rubber tubing down the middle and wrapped it around that AC line to shield it.

Did you do it yourself? i see you from dallas/ftworth area, you know any A/C shop that you can recommand to me?

Yeah I did most everything on my car myself, including the Vortech install (and now de-install).

German may be able to recharge your AC. GS Motorsports in Irving

Don't you have a white G with gold volks? if do i think i saw you around lewisville one day( not that long ago), i don't know maybe not.

I have a white G35 that used to be on gold wheels, but I changed to black face/gold lip April of last year.
