Here in TX it gets 110 and HIGH humidity.. so in the middle of the day my ac barely blows 55-60*.. keeping it quite warm in the car still. So has anyone tried adding a second condenser and fan to the AC system? Or is there another way to make it blow any colder? It has a good freon charge, and i already added insulation around the lines to the evaporator..

To be honest with everyone. My celica AC blows too cold. I sometimes have to turn it down because it gets uncomfortable. Its much colder air then my corolla.
If you put the ac into recirculate mode you get colder air. And you will not have to cool 110 degree temperature from outside, instead your cooling the already cool air and have a shorter path for the ac blower to move air. Maybe you can upgrade the secondary fan for the ac condenser to a higher CFM fan. Hook that up to a separated relay system so you don't melt the factory wiring and your gold. That way you get OEM ac functionality but much better AC cooling capabilities. You can also flush and fill your AC system and refill with Quest Sub-zero AC booster that promises 18% improvement on cooling performance. |
