Hey guys, I'm excited just got my RB20 the other day, waiting on my oil pan to make it back from the one and only Pat1. I've got a few questions regarding A/C and cooling.
I've read that the sway bar will have to get spaced out because of the A/C compressor bracket, has anyone else encountered this? And if so, what did they do about it?
As far as A/C wiring goes, I've looked into my Chilton book, and it seems that the A/C is tied to the chassis harness, and does not interface the ECU like modern cars do. According from Chilton the A/C is turned on via switch, and it also powers the FICD which causes the idle to pick up. So I wonder if I can feed the wire from the FICD to the ECU of the RB20 to act as the idle up switch. I don't know if that wire is ground or power, but if I can figure out what the RB20 ecu wants to see I can convert polarities using a relay. Hopefully it doesn't and I can just tap the wire to it.
::WHEW::
The next question pertains to cooling, is the stock radiator adequate for cooling the RB? I wanted to order a radiator and fan combo, but my biggest fear is fitment. I think I may try stock radiator and the famous taurus fan, but I guess it'll all come down to how much space I have.
Thanks for the help!
