It’s doing alright for a cheap Amazon boost controller, I do have some minor boost creep issues but I’m not sure if that’s the fault of the boost controller or the size of the wastegate or my hot side design. At some point I’ll probably upgrade to a better one but for the time being I’m still using that cheap one I did the video about.
I might be able to increase the pressure to 50-55 but 45 was all I could get out of the can I had. I will look into the cabin filter thing as well, not sure if this car has one.
it should be illegal to sell refrigerant to customers who know nothing about A/C. Here we see a, "DIYer" installing the WRONG REFRIGERANT into a vehicle. I feel sorry for the real technician who is going to get his machine polluted when he attempts to do a REAL repair!
Hi Joe, according to the label on the can, the R12A refrigerant I installed is compatible with the R134a refrigerant that was originally in this car. Since the pressure in the system was at zero I’m assuming most of the original refrigerant had leaked out. I did explain in the video that the way a shop would do it would be to evacuate the existing refrigerant first. This was basically an experiment to see if it would work, and based on the temperature of the air coming out of the vents I would say it did.
There used to be a Randy who went by Low Buck LS.... Good to see you here again.
Thanks Jeff… should be getting back to posting regular content soon.
As a Canadian I have no clue what you mean with this 106 F measurement..... :P
Lol yeah figured I would do it in Fahrenheit since most of the people who watch the channel are in the US
How's that boost controller treating you

@@LowbuckLS ok I was just looking at that one, thanks! Purchased
Is 45 psi the max pressure, I was thinking it was closer to 50-55 psi? Does her car have a cabin filter, if so it might be clogged reducing flow?

@@LowbuckLS looking at the temperature scale 55 psi would be about 57 degrees that's 67 out the vent.
