I've been watching your videos ever since you worked on Jerry's Humvee and I don't think I've missed a video. I find your content extremely fascinating and motivating for my own projects - the systematic way you break down and solve problems and push through every hurdle in such a calm and confident way is inspiring when I am feeling overwhelmed. I don't understand WHY your channel hasn't gotten popular faster, but I'll keep on tuning in and enjoying every moment you are willing to share with us.
Just wanted to say congratulations on your success. Glad to see the variety of EV projects you are working on. Also, the quality of your work and video production are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Algorithm blessed me today, just binged the rest of the playlist. Always thinking about what it would take to convert one of these cars, as expected it seems like a lot of work and tight fits! At least its a 2+2 though, the 2 seater would probably be a nightmare to fit everything. I believe this was the first car nissan designed entirely using CAD, and it shows! They squeezed all they could into such a small package lol
Allways look forward to the weekly videos to drop. Appreciate the wide variety of projects .. Yes i love the Porsche, but you have to make money to spend it. Great job!!
Great to see someone tackle the AC issue. It one of the remaining items I need to complete in my cars. It would be great not be limited to only driving them October thru March. The 3d printing of the brackets is brilliant. I need to design some new brackets to fit dual chargers in one of my cars it going to be a complicated bracket I will have to try the 3d printing. How did you decide the compressor capacity? I see how the vibration isolators would work on your first bracket, the compressor mounted on tray which is sitting on the four isolators mounted the new bracket. I'm not seeing how they could work on the second. It looks like a thru bolt, even a rubber sleeve will not give you much isolation. Isolators are generally under compression. They don't have much shear strength. If the tray mount will fit in the bracket you could add some angle brackets to pick out those isolator locations on the tray.
Where did you purchase the orange HV shielded wire from? That small gauge EV wire is very hard to source and I need to find a supplier for some of my projects. Also a tip: I noticed your large wire spools were 600V wire. 600V rated wire like UL1015 is great to use where you can due to the thicker insulation for increased abrasion resistance, however 300V rated wire like UL1007 has thinner insulation and is handy where you need a smaller OD wire diameter in order to fit into some smaller electrical connectors.
I enjoy your videos, amazing content. I have a suggestion for you: for bending the tubes, apply some grease on it. It helps with bending. I used to do that, and it helps.
Thanks! I also can never bring myself to do stitch welds. Also, are you able to provide a link to this AC compressor's product page? Unfortunately, many of the electric AC compressors on the market use 12 VDC. One of my Ford Ranger EVs came with the factory HVAC compressor, but the other was shipped without AC. If this HVAC compressor can accept 400 VDC, it would be a great option for adding AC (or even as a possibly more efficient replacement compressor for the stock AC unit).
Glad to see you're utilizing all the space possible under the hood. Really interested to see this build running!!! Have you considered using some of the stock ac controls or are you going to replace those?
i find your content very interesting. If you plan on continuing one off conversions, I would suggest that you start to standardize the process by creating, a base EV kit with all of the parts. This would save time in compatibility issues, wiring, trouble shooting. just a thought.
the heating is a be meh tho on a heatpump. not much more then 40°C output. while coolant provides 90°C water and maybe 85 after losses to supply air. defrosting windows at 80+ degrees C is a whole diffrent story then at 40. furthermore can you dry the supply air by using the AC and then heat it up from the coolant on a combustion engine. THAT gets the windows dry and defogged properly.
@@casemodder89 my understanding is that Tesla does the heat pump, possibly at certain temperatures. I think I saw it on the Monro channel. Yes, running the AC is certainly the way to defrost, I was confused about why my civic turned the AC on with the defrost, but wow did it work.
It takes a lot of effort to shoot and compile these moving pictures, so I doff my hat to you fine sir. Regarding your selection of AC compressor, PWM controller, and connectors, I wonder if perhaps you might share links to them in your video description? I too have an elder Nissan in need of such accoutrements. Savoring your success.

I have a 90s renault with no factory ac and i want to install one with an electric compressos. I dont want to buy the kits with the huge underdash evaps. Is it possible to just fab one up with an electric compressor and evap and condenser from other cars? thanks
Yes...kinda. This is just the compressor. You need the whole system including the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and blower. The kits usually have all of these components.
I watch this full video on a different computer which I was not logged in on. My question is, can this electric air conditioning be done on a 1974 camaro? I would like to know all of the things that I would need. I have taken the condenser and all the air conditioning components off of the car years ago!

Fisker ocean, would it be cheaper to upgrade to motor controller and charger or part out and use motor and batteries for another project? What does batteries and motor costs?
The electric a/c system is something that would fit my needs as my under hood space is taken up with turbos and such. It’s just too bad in my opinion , you’re destroying that car.
That is "Cool" but it wont match the A/C Powered by the engine. The efficienty of the A/C is limited by the alternator power, which will cause the same bog down as the normal "engine a/c" pump but with less efficiency, that's my view. If you install and feel pleased, good! But I dont think it can be that good at cooling the car. Cool nontheless

Thank you very much!
Cool to see electric AC compressors being more available.
Nice welding table too! 😉👍👍
It sure is!
It is nice to see how AC is handled on an EV retrofit. The compressor looks so small. Looking forward to seeing the battery pack.

its prolly 2kw only.
belt driven compressors range from about 1-1,4kw in idle to 6-8kw while driving.

This is just the compressor. You need the whole system including the condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, and blower. The kits usually have all of these components.
I installed a 12v ac on my 68 mustang
That's a great car to do a conversion on, a lot like the original Tesla Roadster, I think...
Bit different imo. I own a 300zx and compared to the lotus chassis, its a fat pig lol, but definitely way more practical for daily use atleast

I would like to know all of the things that I would need. I have taken the condenser and all the air conditioning components off of the car years ago!
If you want to do you'll need a very beefy power system and alternator. I'd say its easier and cheaper to fix your ac pump (it also has more btu)
You should get prizzamike to do this, would be interesting if he installs this into either one of his 300z's!
Was wondering the other day if this style condenser could be ran side by side with the belt driven one for a camper van application.
I could be mistaken, but did you tie the high voltage cable to the front crash bar? is that safe?
Adding a pyro fuse to turn off high voltage in the event of an accident.
you should have made long enough lines to remote locate it in the cabin lol...
I would not want the compressor noise in the cabin
From where did you get the working lamps from last time I seen them in Europe?
great video, thanks for sharing , what is the voltage that this electric compresor need ?
220V - 450V
NASA make the best electric A/C system ran them for years in Baja race buggies.
Not too keen on A/C compressor mounted in the crumple zone.
I have been wondering for 4 years if I would be able to find an electric powered air conditioner for my Eevee conversion
6:18 I don’t know how much the compressor costs… Putting things in that area will increase the costs in accidents.
@@sinaansari2317 modifying vehicles isn't for the faint of heart
you didn't explain the PWM control or tell us what motor you used....

i do hope you leave a vacuum pump on that AC system for a long time. It's never a good idea to leave the lines open to the elements.
What brand is that AC unit? Where was it sourced from?

Sorry. Rong subject. But ad a secound gear box to main drive. So fuel runs out. Can flick a switch to run of a cycle .? Can do ?

Fisker only works with Fisker. It would be hard to use their components on another build
Can you do an affiliate link for the AC compressor?
No affiliate link.
I got mine through a fellow ev enthusiast. Email him here.

What is the operating voltage range of the unit?
220V - 425V
Can that a/c unit be used in a gas powered car too?
@mvcvm6398 yes! You would just want to purchase the varient model for 12V application
