Default Re: Killer Chiller - intercooling option

I havent been to an Auto AC mech yet - but I heard there might be one here somewhere....?

I'm looking at some pulley belt changes and to top it off (to "tick the box") am looking to see if speeding up the AC (more flow/capacity) aka smaller AC pulley - was to also be considered.

How can I find out the max rpm of our current "Denso?" AC compressor?
I also understand the AC clutch also disengages above a cetain rpm to stop it from "spinning itself to bits" - so it might already be max'd out.

This is a good mod for me - 'cause I never use the AC anyway and since it has a switch in the cabin (EC) - I can call upon an additional -4kW (-12,000BTU's) of IC capacity when required instead of running it all the time.

So Supercooler(-5kW)+KC(-4kW) will give me about -9kW almost enough to neutralise the 61mm pulley upgrade (+12kW).
Might still need to slip in some "skid panels" like I have previously mentioned....
