Has anyone reversed their inlet manifold on a classic and retained the air conditioning??

If so how did you do it and can I see some pictures please.

Thanks in advance

 

Monday bump!

 

Didnt think it could be done? Air cons no big loss anyway in the UK.

 

Well I do use it especially in the winter to clear the screen quick.....

Has anyone fitted a remote (electric) power steering pump?

 

That's on 22b where FAI17 has a project build...

dunx

P.S. I'd not sacrifice my AC for a shorter bit of tube....

 

That's a crazy project... I couldn't figure out how he coloured the FMIC? Do you happen to know?

 

He probably just painted it. Helps protect it from out lovely winters

 

My paint keeps flaking off (on the cold side interestingly). Brand new at the beginning of the winter and lasted 6 months before looking tatty. I'm trying to figure out a better way to keep it black.

 

Found a couple of interesting pictures ... not classic though. I wonder if I could make this idea work?

Seems to me I'd be home and dry if I just convert the power steering pump to electric and move the alternator over.

 

For me the gains from reversing the inlet manifold are not worth the effort. Big disappointment if checked out in isolation. Keeping the A/C will be a lot more work.
That said I have a Ver 1 inlet manifold adapted for a Ver 6 throttle body with posts for the Ver 5/6 coil pack etc for sale. Pictures on request if you e-mail per profile.
I also have two new TWR electric power steering pump assemblies for sale with looms etc. I have binned that idea too.
Sorry for the negative hi-jack.

 

No probs. YHPM

I'd be glad to see what you have up for grabs... and give you some publicity here

I'm thinking about changing my MD321T+ for one of the SC Billet turbos and maybe rotating (as opposed to twisting) the turbo round at the same time.

I'd like to get more power and less lag! Plus it is something a little bit different.
