I know I could get the pipe refabbed .. but I rather just adapt the AC so it will fit

Has anyone succesfully fabbed up some method of keeping the AC with fmic interfeering the pathway ?

I have. I have the Corksport 24x6x3.5 and it fit perfectly in between the frame rails. All I did was take the front bumper off. No cutting or hacking anything up. I then put one 90degree coupler on each side and kept the piping inside the frame rails. Its a tight fit but you can make it work. I dont have any underhood pics but here are some. In the first and second ones if you look close you can see how it sits right inside the frame rails. I have p/s and a/c.

YOu should show the underhood pictures, those don't help all too much yo.

 

I would if I had my car. I dont have it right now. I can tell you on the passenger side it does a 90 out of the IC and then straight with a 45 degree bend and up to the turbo. On the drivers side it does almost a 180 out the IC and then straight up between the radiator support and front bumper. The piping kind of runs back behind the IC about 4in then straight up. Then through the only hole that needed to be cut and runs right where the battery would be up to the TB.

 

heres what im dealing with right now

 

My ac isnt in, but it will fit w/ my fmic.. Here is a link to some pics of the setup.

Well what are your dimensions for the IC? Mines the 24x6x3.5 Corksport one and it fits right between the frame rails. You could then run your turbo pipe straight down, right by the radiator and to the intercooler. There was just enough room to get a 90degree coupler on the IC. I would like to have a 90 welded on the IC. That would be cool. But this way you dont have to cut any holes. Btw Im using 2 1/4in pipes.

 

you still running stock ecu?if you are is the stock intake hose still gonna fit w/ the piping in the way?i asked cause you still have the stock flapper map.

 

stock flapper ? huh ... and yea i am running stock ecu for now
i dont have the stock intake hose/pipe anymore .. i kinda hacked up an aluminum turbo inlet pipe.

Its tight, but possible.

 

Keep your top mount and run water/meth injection. Then you get to keep A/C and power steeing, plus for a top end computer controled variable flow system can be HALF the cost of a front mount kit.

Even a basic single or two stage system is HALF a budget front mount setup, and more effective.

If you do any extended track sessions at all it is very hard to keep an FC engine cool with a front mount, assuming stock radiator and oil cooler locations.

 

found another site that might help.

may not help because the compressor is a bit further foward on mine but here...

 

the maf.sorry for the confusion on terminologies.cause the S4's had a somewhat like a door/flapper for it.

 

I am going to be doing a V-mount intercooler in my next setup. Is there any creative way to still have the AC with that seen to date? I would put coolant and intake temp before AC performance but I would still like to have some sort of AC in the summer.
