That will be a nice ride when you get it all dialed in.. i love the dash that you made for this, it looks better than factory.. You guys take it easy and be careful...
They might be getting harder to find in the junkyards now days, but you might consider the Ford Taurus fan swap. Considered to be the most powerful electric fan you can use from either OEM or the aftermarket. It is a Ford 8C607 fan and is advertised as having 2500 CFM on low speed and 4500 CFM on high by most sources. It comes in the 90 to 95 Ford Taurus and Lincoln Mark VIII with the 3.8L engine.
That’s cool good to know some issues were dealing with is size the radiator width is really small because the Willy’s front is narrow but we think we found a solution
Is that your engine air intake under the hood? Isn’t that air pretty hot before it goes into the engine? Maybe consider a cold air intake and or some louvers in the hood!
definitely need a high amp alternator to use electric ac. combine that with a taurus style fan and you will have problems. i suggest getting a spare high amp alternator to keep in the rig.
The 1.9 TDI is pleased to toss little Jettas to corners; however, pulling this rig can be a challenge in the long run, as overheating is a clear sign of it.
What brand of AC "kit" did you go with??? The critical components of that kit appear to be doing fine so far. Time will tell. I need good AC kit for my Jeep YJ also an ALH build w/factory A/C comp deleted/removed. Nice build gentlemen.
When I did a cold air intake on my jeep cherokee it made a big difference! I never understood having the intake engine air coming from the engine compartment! Thats the space you want to cool down! By using air already heated by the engine it kind of defeats the purpose!
So after taking my 50 pickup on power tour this year I came home and installed a kit similar to yours. I’m also running into low voltage while driving and I’m afraid I won’t have enough voltage to start the truck if Iv had the ac on to long. On the drive there. Just running 100amp alternator. Looks like I may have to install as second battery to help carry the load. What amp is your alt and what’s voltage are you at while the ac is running? Love the build by the way. Iv got some old Willy’s pickups I’d like to do somthing similar someday.
if. they will fit, look at the newer gm alternators, they have a 220amp one you can pick up used for 100$. default to 13.8v so one wire hook up or you can adjust voltage with a cheap pwm box.
It probably would be more responsive with a manual but we built it so anyone can hop in and go. Honestly I think it’s a really good set up it’s very simple and with the new torque converter shifts great! We’re really happy with it!
Sorry about the audio on this one guys didn’t realize how loud those bugs were!

Great to see a wild mustang since you were in Carolla!! Looking forward to the Patina Party in August 🎉

@@StonemanRocks there was a intercooler at one point. but a snorkel to cold air would definitely help
that rig looks totally at home there
Definitely
Was on the beach that day and saw you flying the drone taking those shots
Really! Thats awesome!!
Like this conversion thks for the video

Add the largest diameter SPAL puller fan you can on backside of radiator to increase cooling & look into better airflow ducting to radiator.
Yeah definitely
Also I think you need to build a shroud that will pull air through the entire radiator
Yes most definitely!

People swap these in much bigger trucks than this it’s a very common swap on jeeps and small trucks
fan is an easy fix.. anything good brushless that will fit should do fix that up.

Check out the older electric ac video I have the link
Get a Delta PAG electric fan and it will fix all your cooling issues.
I’ll check them out!
could your charging prob be because of the low revs of the diesel ? different size pulley on the alt ?
That could help the idle for the tdi is higher around 900 rpm
You are in my neighborhood.
What kind of switches were used and even tho this is an AC video does the heat aspect of this kit work too ?
Yes it does it comes with switches

Good point! We will have to make a better intake
@@Rustomod is that vent under the windshield interior air?
@@Rustomod meaning does the vent air from it go to the interior cab or the engine compartment?
Yes

how loud is the compressor? I just ordered the kit.
It’s pretty quiet
What size amp alternator you running?
200 amp
How do you like the 700r4 over a manual
It probably would be more responsive with a manual but we built it so anyone can hop in and go. Honestly I think it’s a really good set up it’s very simple and with the new torque converter shifts great! We’re really happy with it!
@@Rustomod all that matters
Great build...except for the automatic.
Nice video, thanks. Btw, it’s pronounced Willis, not Willys.
Thanks!
I would have swapped a thermoking Isuzu 4 cylinder. Vw is too passenger car.
mpg?
Were getting around 26-28
