Re: Has anyone put together their own AC system?
I just replaced everything in my wife's Toyota Echo. Pulled a vacuum and it checked out so I charged it. Digital thermometer says it can get down to -40 degrees. Yes Negative. Not really sure but that mother is COLD! I plan to clean and flush the old evaporator and condenser and rob some lines from the junk yard and install all of this with my Sanden in my old heater box. Not sure it will fit but I already have one so I will try it.
Her compressor seized up and appears to be a scroll type Denso. Neat unit. I think I can get a head for the Sanden to bolt the hoses right to it. If not it would just be the two connections that I need to figure out. The condenser has the dryer inside it and the system runs a trinary switch as well with an expansion block at the evaporator. I will log all the progress in my "NO DAGGUM MONEY" build. If you can call it that (BUILD) it's really more of a spare parts Frankenstein.
