Does Jon K Have AC?

[tgrandahl]

So i was just looking at a picture of Jon K's beast and the question dawned on me what happened to the AC lines? Also has anyone replaced the insulation on theres or just the lines entirely. I was stupid and pressure washed a lot of the high pressure one off... I can obviously feel the difference in the air with the exhaust manifold right next to the line.

He gets AC from opening the windows once he's attained his cruising speed of 300+mph.

No air conditioning in the car - i could have probably made a setup to retain it but honestly the amount of time and custom AC lines would have made it not worth it in the end. Only when i commuted to the city last summer did I wish I had air conditioning. But not since!

Maybe it is JonK's ulterior motive to make his hot sexy girfriend shed clothes until she is skanky enough! LOL

Installing a turbo and keeping AC is hard but not impossible. Well worth the trobule in my opinion though.

+1 The only way I'd accept no A/C is if it was a cabriolet

Plumbling shops sell pipe insulation that is split so you can just slip it on and secure it with a few zip ties.

that stuf isn't designed to deal with the radiant heat...

what I would do is expound on that Idea by first gluing two layers of aluminum foil (reflective side out!!!) to the outside of the foam. Should be just enough to keep the foam from FUBAR'ing.

Black urethane?..Hmmm looks like whats on there now, with a foil cardboard tube.

It you've destroyed the foil sheild, there is also an adhesive foil tape used in HVAC that should hold up.

This stuff really works against heat transfer (its an exhaust wrap):

Then if you want to be really anal, you can coat that with with stuff against radiant heat:

The exhaust manifold is far enough from the AC lines that you shouldn't have to worry about radiant heat. I'd just coat it with exhaust wrap and it will probably work better than factory. Remember, originally that stuff was black so it never was designed to reflect radiant heat.

You guys dont realize my turbo is literally where the AC compressor would be.

Yeah that might pose a problem
