My car is running great. My A/C is converted to 134a, and I have to get a cracker and can this week, because I think it's a little low. This is the shitty part...

When my A/C is on and I'm sitting in rush hour, if I sit too long, I overheat. My buddy and I think it's because there is only one fan for the A/C and engine cooling duties.

Does anybody know if adding a thinline push fan to the front of the radiator strictly for the A/C condensor, and leaving the pull fan behind the radiator to kick from the thermo would solve this problem?

 

the 1 fan theory sounds right to me, why only 1 in there?

 

my crx used to do that in the summer with my ac on sittin in traffic...I had the 2 stock fans in there and even with 2, after sitting in bumper to bumper for around an hour, my temp gauge would get to like 3/4 the way up and I would get nervous of overheating and shut the ac off and wait till I got outta traffic.

I just think honda's are weak as far as cooling goes. I dont know of any other car that does that with the ac on...

Because of the B16 swap. There's not really that much room left w/ A/C compressor and the header. It was wired up like this when I bought the car.

I was thinking of using a REALLY powerful double push fan on the front of the rad.
In theory the pull fan won't be able to pull any more air than is pushed by the front fan. Also the vanes of the radiator are going to slow down a lot of air. So the rear fan should just strengthen the air flow into the bay.

Where can I find thin really powerful fans at? Flex-a-Lite?
