Stay Cool: Installing an Electric A/C System in Your Vehicle

An oridinary car wont run this

Paint will never stick or last on a sharp edge. Other than that looks great!!

I love those Lamborghini Headlights on the 300ZX Def a time capsule

Which car did the AC compressor come from

I worked on those systems for years and they are a piece of s***

I wanna build it on my 93 Honda eg !

F*** that's a nightmare.
Welding, 3D printing, cutting a bracket etc, etc
This is not worth it and a nightmare.
I wasted my time spending 4 minutes into this before I decided my time was worth more than watching this abortion process

Will this compressor work with any size evaporator and condenser combination

Boom boom EV cars

Wow - 300zx EV, my fantasy!

That's a great idea. Helps me solve an issues on my 6.4 Hemi. It has electric power steering why not AC 😂😂😂

I would be concerned having high voltage wires running around the bumper and maybe more inside the engine bay area instead in the event of an accident or so, along with the compressor.

You look at sound like Dr Berg haha

I’ll rather keep it original instead of installing more electrical problems for the future like the newer cars no thanks I’ll pass

Im sooo confused 🤔. Where did you said you find this motor and how much did it cost??

What if I want to add a second alternator and keep my A/C … 🤔

I like the 300zx. The manufacturers must bring this car back into production. It was a good brand, however? The large engine made the car unstable during deep turns; But? That was the joy of the ride."
~The engine burns low fuel and the maintenance was limited once viewed occasionally.~👍

When I first saw that you were putting a 300zx under the knife, I really freaked out, as I am a '91 twin turbo owner. But I do love the direction the build is going. One question: for all of these small parts, instead of doing a rattle can finish, have you ever thought about powder coating? Those AC parts and the peddle stop would be prime candidates for it. I started with a toaster oven and powder coating kit from Eastman and moved up to an old oven that was large enough to do all of the covers on the original 30VG engine that was in my 300zx. Keep the videos coming!

Great video, thanks. One important note: if you are reusing any of the existing ac system components from your vehicle, the system likely used PAG oil for the compressor, which in turn circulates through the entire system when operating. PAG oil is conductive and even a tiny bit can cause the electric compressor to seriously short circuit the high voltage system. You may need to do a special cleaning of the system prior to operation. Electric compressors use a different oil, such as a polyester-based oil, which is non-conductive. These oils are extremely hygroscopic, however, and once the conpressor is charged with oil, the system should be sealed as soon as possible to minimize moisture from air contaminating the system. Hope this helps.

This looks interesting, how would you make it work with a GAS engine?

Why not just turn on the car A.C.? Advantage? Cost, guaranteed. Alternator give very little amp at ide. You need to pulley gear it to be 2 k at idle or your burn out that costly alt.

EV is Junk

I thought about this. I thought about having electric a/c moded and hook up to intake manifold for better combustion. Would it give better power even with extra weight?

Jay leno uses something similar on his old cars. Runs on 12v thought

WOULD BE NICE IF MANUFACTURERS WILL MAKE A ONE UNIT CAR AC THAT IS LIKE A WINDOW TYPE...MEANING LESS THAN $500...YOU CAN EASILY INSTALL AND UNINSTALL...SO WE DONT HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX A MALFUNCTIONING CAR A/C

They stole this from me.

Good information bedio....i have an Toyota Camry 2000 model....can i set this compresor into this Camry

I would recommend that you rubber mount the compressor to the bracket. These compressors cause a lot of NVH when they run.

thanks for the video, You just gave me an awesome idea for an a/c powered air to water intecooler that will chill the water down to sub zero temps that will cycle through the intecooler increasing air density there by increasing power out put. An electric compressor wont be subject to wot conditions and will run continuously even while doing a 1/4 mile pull.

Nice mod. What about heat? Is the compressor reversible? What's your plan for keeping the batteries a happy temp? 🤔

Very interesting compared to off-road fabrication

So boring

Wait, you missed #3. Whose name makes it the most confusing part if the system. What would a 'dryer' be for in system that is involved with fluid????

Awesome video presentations. Question: What would be your dream ICE conversion?

Do you sell kits ?

I was trying to figure this out for the longest time.

Not enough information about the project itself But.
Too much marketing not a good video

Pretty good welds

Has anyone told you that you look like Sal Governale from the Howard Stern show ? 😂

WOW..... So,..... revolutionary.

This is dope because it just gave me hope of finally running A/C in VH45 swap for the 300

I would installed it inside the car

Cool! Please do a video on the needed service on the AC dessicant 🙏

I hurried through this because I would not be able to do this due to all the fabrication and my project does not have AC to start with. But if I did, what do you do about the existing compressor and pulley that is run by the serpentine belt? You can’t abandon any of that.

YOU DON'T MENTION AT ALL HOW MUCH THIS PUMP COST ?????

VERY COOL!!!

This IS the 'Thinking' that I need to follow to achieve my goals with my Gas Powered car. I need to see what you did in-like for the Power-Steering and the Alternator. I'm thinking of using a 'Thermal-Electric Plate' for a replacement for the Alternator.

Great video

I would love to do something like this. I have a 2003 GMC Envoy that has rear climate, but once I get a turbo kit installed, I will need to delete the AC lines going to the rear climate system. Plus, I'd love to run the rear AC without the engine running, and possibly off of AGM or Lithium batteries for camping
