I moved my alternator to driver side today...

LiquidGT · May 13, 2008

I just cant stand the turbulence with the windows down, it takes all the fun out of being in a car for me. I'll drive with the vent on and be hot than have the windows down; thats why I need to recharge my a/c.

Plus I like the shock value of driving with the a/c on in my ''old'' car.

I'll be 50 later this month and I ditched my A/C 2 years ago. But... Mine is just for having fun in.

I like the a/c in mine. when it does get hotter than expected (don't plan on driving it much here in GA in July and August) i roll up the windows, top still down and crank the a/c. Cools me well enough.

ya, Ga heat does is a killer, i live in forsyth co. to me though, 500RWHP is more important than a/c... plenty of days where i wish I had it, but its all good. i'll never get rid of my heater though

And while you are laughing at him for having no a/c....he'll be laughing at your for not having two snails under the hood. I'd take two turbos over A/C any day.

A couple years ago a lived in south carolina...let me tell you...new england summers are cool in comparison. i wouldn't worry about it man...you made the right choice.

I dunno.....I could probably live with 495hp and A/C, over 500hp and no A/C any day?

ya, but when i get a new block, I can turn up the boost, can't do that with a supercharger...

Additional boost is nothing more than a pulley swap away my friend.

....and I'm not really sure what a supercharger has to do with you keeping your A/C or not?

kingmeirl · May 15, 2008

ya, let me swap pulleys and get another 2 - 4 psi.... WOOT!!!!!1 big deal....

Gearbanger 101 · May 15, 2008

I think you're missing the point of my initial statement. My response wasn't about boost and it certainly wasn't about getting into a pissing match between turbos and blowers. My response was that you're saving next to no power by deleting your A/C...especially at that power level. You said 500rwhp was more important to you than A/C, but you could have both right now if you're set up was a little more thought out. Ditch the system if you want, but don't try to fool yourself or others into thinking you had the option of having power, or no power with it. Because you could have easily had both.

a pulley swap and a decent intercooler if you dont have one already will put you over the 500 mark and you could keep the A/C. I'm with gearbanger on this one.

damn straight, **** the a/c in a vert if its too hot drop the damn top!!!

I run the A/C even if the top is down.

I'm the kinda person that will do 70MPH on the highway, with the windows all open, and the A/C cranking

The cool breeze effect feels nice

kingmeirl · May 15, 2008

the alternator was in the way of my turbo; my A/C system was deleted a year ago, only the condenser remained... Any logical person would get rid of the dead weight and move the alternator to that location so the serpintine belt would operate correctly...

I moved my alternator to driver side today...

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

That is…until I whipped out my Bissell
