Thread: Turbo SR20 with AC FTW

Just dropping this here... nothing like having AC on a hot and humid summer day along with having the torque of a turbo.

Being able to keep AC on at all times and getting into boost is another FTW. I don't suggest it on any ECU that doesn't turn off the compressor though, otherwise the compressor clutch will go in no time once boost kicks in.

agreed I kept my AC when I went Turbo but now its leaking I never swapped over. 1.6 AC line.

The turbo is your AC...

I couldn't agree more. At the top of my list when boosting my car was making sure I could keep the air conditioning.

And cruise control.
And a full interior.
And (new) stock engine mounts.
And a quiet exhaust.

yeah I kinda feel bittersweet about going polyurethane mounts makes my whole care vibrate , how does the car feel when you bang gears on stock mounts?

To be honest, I don't drive that hard on the street, but I didn't have any issues at all during the road course, or drag strip at the convention. I still haven't done any hard street launches, but 2nd gear WOT spins the tires without any wheel hop which was my main concern with the stock mounts.

that's good you can still get on it, but if your not its probably not vibrating every part on the car.

My car has no squeaks.

I've shoved a piece of rubber between my bumper and filler so its stops squeaking. works for a couple days lol

I also have all stock motor mounts, I see rips in my front mount though. I went polyurathane with shifter bushing and front lower control arm bushings, but reverted them back to stock because it made the car too uncomfortable.

First gear is not unusable, even only on low VET cam, second gear is usable up to 14 psi, but that's pushing it too. I do have some anti hop mods and P11 multi-link suspension along with longer wheel base and heavier body helps reduce wheel hop/spin.
