According to Ben Afford, finding room for air con in a Leyland/Clubman is very hard. It's on the list of things to do, but I'm a fair way off getting the 4EFTE into a Mini yet to even have a look. (Need a subframe first.) |

Just as a random offshoot to this , with the way technology is improving would it be possible yet to have a small electrically powered air conditionerwounted somewhere (in place of a right hand tank perhaps?) , I know it'd draw a lot from the alternator but surely they are getting good enough now you could have a big enough alternator to run it ? Oh yeah , I do realise this question will cause the photo of the Yank car with the house air con unit on the side window to be shown again ..... |

I think if you were going to do a conversion you would take a very holistic approach very early on. You would take the opportunity to change the subframe mounts to the front of the car and change the castor arm mount. |

Think more redneck , it was held to the side window with duct tape and had a honda generator bolted to the boot to run it .... |

I just had a thought about this... You can get self contained air con units for boats. I know a company called MarineAir make some (actually make combined heater/aircon units) but maybe too big for a small car. Alternatively some trucks have 12V self contained systems for the sleeper cabs that can run while the truck engine is not running -Alan |

I dont think an electric type of a/c will work. too much power drain with not enough results. If you want to use the 4efte air con you will obviously need to mount the a/c compressor to run off the belt. And then mount the condensor somewhere... You should be able to use a later model mini evap unit inside the car? Ohh and the alternator mountings are causing a hell of a problem in a few conversions, so i mounting the compressor will cause only more headaches. But with ALOT of dedication it should work |
