Custom A/C for boosted prelude
So I'm redoing my setup to a sidewinder and want to keep a/c. I want to run a half size rad with a half size condensor. My original setup had a log with full condensor and rad. Only when I ran a/c would the temps go up. I assumed this was because of the condensor. My builder made a point that with my new mani, the turbo and hot parts would be a little further away vs the log setup which basically had everything right behind the radiator so it might run cooler with the new setup. I wanted to get it taken care of while everything was getting done because I would need a new aluminum rad so the fittings could be moved out of the way of the new mani.
Does anyone have any input?

Re: Custom A/C for boosted prelude
If your doing a sidewinder and its going to free up room stick with the larger radiator, heat wrap or ceramic coat the manifold and tubine housing and downpipe to retain the heat. The bigger the better for radiators. also be sure your running two fans and as big as you can fit. I recomend Zirgo or spal.
