good advise, thanks

Looking at the diagram from Rave i dont think removing the dashboard is required: looking at it I also need the engine bay pipes as the one i have doen not have the T connection near the service port. all in all however it does not look too complex

follow up from my ac-upgrade thread I have bought "most" of the components for a rear-ac retrofit. and now on to planning to install everything, trouble is I seem to be able to find lots of people 'thinking' about doing it but not much info, maybe photos of wip or diagrams of how to plumb the...

what makes the biggest difference (i think) is that it has double the evaporators and double the blower fan so it will cool the cabin faster. I have decided to do 2 things: first remove the radiator and clean everything there properly (radiator, intercooler, condenser) second fit a higher...

another example, this is a 12" high quality comex fan https://www.revotec.com/acatalog/12%20(305mm)%20SuckerBlowing%20Tech%20Spec%20HP.pdf and only produces 1300cfm. My Spal produces a lot more due to the bigger flaps (also means more draw and more noise but who cares?)

fair enough, genuine fan is around 500 quid though :eek:, i'll see what other options i may have

the one in your link is a radiator fan though. I dont think there is space to fit a 16" one at the front. The original is around 10" i believe and I just fitted the 12" one. As I said I dont think there even exists a 10"fan with that kind of output.

Where did you find the specs for the original fan? The one i have does not produce 2500cfm, its rated at 1687cfm, I was assured that it should be better than the original one :( However considering the design of the original unit compared to quality oem fan I think it should be less than what I...

yes that should help for sure but not sure I want to 'waste' the space in the rear as i use mine for overlanding, every cm2 in the boot is precious

well, i took it an aircon guy who attached it to a machine a checked for leaks, not sure what else, told me all looks good. I also have an oversized fan replacing the original one which had seized... basically the biggest spal fan i could fit

my biggest concern is the ac's performance not the saving. even the wive's fiesta is a lot better, obviously its a newer model and a much smaller car to cool.

So the air-conditioning in my d2 is really not very good. Might be enough in the cooler regions but in 40degrees+ Summer Malta it wont do. Checked the gas. Changed condenser, fan output seems similar to other landies so i think it is the system it self that is ****. Any ideas on how i can make...

There is a world of difference in performance between the td5 and the m57 , especially coupled with a better transmission

what im saying is that it is certainly possible to have an interface between the M57 engine and the various modules of a d2. The only thing that I dont have an answer yet is ACE and I think an electric power steering pump as fitted to some cars should work. I might actually fit it before i do...

The M57 is a common conversion option. There are custom made circuits to pair the dashboard to the engine ecu and also keep the slabs system working, and even the other functions like the climate control and the cruise control. Apart from the ace, another problem would be the aircondition pump...

Im planning an M57 engine conversion in my head but would like to keep the ACE. I think the easiest way to do it would be to fit an electric hydraulic pump like fitted to some cars for the powersteering. Anyone knows where I could get the specifications for the stock pump so i can find a...

cheers!

Sorry. As I live in Malta i would be interested in the warm weather thermostat. What part number would that be please?

Thanks again for your help

So for future reference, the 1/4 inch hoses are good for the actuators as long as we put everything where it should be :D
