Well, i have been running this for 2 week now, checking every two days. And im suprised with the results. materials cost 5 bucks. I have tried this on the corolla. Its been tried on matrix on other forums, each car is different.

Go to home depot and get one of those pipe insulators and zip ties. What i did with the celi, is that i wrapped to insulate the largest a/c pipe.

it keeps most heat away, so it blows colder, i tried to insulate as most as i can. I check it every day, cause, some say is a fire hazzard, but i got the one that is rated for high temps.

Well enough of the talk, here is the proof.

BTW, if you dont like it, dont critizice, it is not hot looks, but in Georgia, the summers are killing. And it can be removed for winter....

i just remembered something from my AC class. if the evap core gets too cold it can and will ice over which means NO cold air. be sure the air coming out of the vent is NOT below 32F!

wait. isn't the larger one the low pressure side.
which meants that its comming OUT of the ac core, & already cooled the cabin?
i can see it still helping since the condenser doesn't have to pull as much heat away from the 134...
