Here in TX it gets 110 and HIGH humidity.. so in the middle of the day my ac barely blows 55-60*.. keeping it quite warm in the car still. So has anyone tried adding a second condenser and fan to the AC system? Or is there another way to make it blow any colder? It has a good freon charge, and i already added insulation around the lines to the evaporator..

i didnt mean a whole second ac unit, just adding a second condenser in line with out stock one. although a larger compressor might increase the refrigerant flow/pressure, it might not make much a difference since then it would have less time cooling in the condenser and therefore being hotter going into the evap core. hotter liquid and more flow may mean same temperature or even warmer.. plus the expansion valve will still only allow X amount of refrigerant flow.
I was thinking having more evaporator surface area will allow a better drop in temperature no matter how warm it is outside. Also an increase in refigerant would mean it would have even longer in each part. I have thoroughly insulated my car, too. all the body panels have foil/foam insulation including the roof floor and doors, and the quarter panels are full fiberglass. the doors have 2inch sheets of backed & duct taped fiberglass as well. under the carpet is also carpet padding. but you're totally right about the windows... maybe i should get darker tint first and see how it helps. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
