Hey guys, first post here. This is probably beating a dead horse but the thread I saw was old and OP never updated about the finished build. I'm putting together a build list for turbocharging my d16, shooting for around 220-250hp and still be an occasional daily driver. Since I live in Georgia and the summers here are blistering, I'd really like to keep A/C. I was looking at this manifold that says it's A/C compatible, and I'm looking at going with the pulsar PSR2860 Gen2. My main question is about the condenser and condenser fan, is there enough room there to squeeze this setup in? Or will I have to get a slim fan of some sort? Maybe get a fabricator to build me a nice slim shroud for a slim fan?

Anyone else have a turbo D series and kept A/C?

Thanks for your time.

 

You can replace the stock radiator for an aluminum one off of EBay. Get a SPAL slim fan (avoid all others) as well as a fan shroud, also from eBay,

 

are you talking about the coolant radiator? I was going to go with the mishimoto radiator plus fan and shroud for the coolant. Should I go with the ebay stuff you mentioned for the coolant instead?

I was mainly asking about the A/C condenser. Unless that’s what you’re talking about and I’m not understanding. Do they make aftermarket refrigerant condensers?
