- In this video, I go over my experience installing an A/C tuck kit from DC5 Creations in my EH3 Hatch. Not only does it make the engine bay look cleaner, but the larger condensor and Spal fans cool much much better.
nice little vlog danielle
Thank you Margaret!
Digging the build. I subscribed
Congrats on getting the AC done! Love the format of the video talking about all the trial and errors/mistakes made along the journey. One question I have is, how did you calculate to put in 19oz of Freon? Was this by different pressure? or just high end of the OEM specs?
Thanks! Yes, 19oz is the high end of oem spec. I'm pretty sure the condenser and lines hold little bit more volume, but not too much.
Hello,
I have the same kit for my 94 coupe. I was wondering how many Oz of Freon you put in? I also am installing this into a car that never had a/c from the factory. The compressor I am using is brand new prefilled with OE oil, do I still have to add oil to the system when charging? If so what oil did you use and how much did you put in?
Thanks.
@LawMasterTimmy Funny, you ask that when you did. An oem setup calls for 16-19oz of 132a. I started off with 19oz, thinking it would be somewhere on the higher side. It worked fine for a while, then started cycling on and off. I added 3.5oz, and pressures got to 47 low and 235 high. It got cooler and was working great till yesterday. On my way home, it started cycling again. It was 98deg outside, so I gotta think pressure was too high. Back to the drawing board.
How does it compare to the stock one?! I mean did the stock cools only when driving and now compare to the DC creation one is it much cooler at idle and such?! I wish there is such thing being too cold now that I have to turn the dial down inside the car lol. I wish there was also a way to use a custom thermometer thing that keeps it from freezing the evaporator and core where we can adjust how colder we want before the sensor kicks in and shut the compressor off so it doesn't freeze ice. This would help so much

The kit doesn't come with the fans, but they gi e you the part numbrt
So far it seems much better. The larger condenser and fans make a difference for sure.
What fans did you buy?
I bought the Spal fans they recommend on there web site.
@34:14 what did u do exactly to keep the fans running
I used the stock wire to trigger a relay and ran a 10 gauge wire with a 30amp fuse from the battery to power the relay.
@@TheHammer you should do a video about that but i think i understand
Good idea. I might actually do that.
Did it actually work mine doesn't
Yes. It works.
