Recap:

Built this getup to replace aged R4 compressor with Sanden:



Consensus seems to be it's a good thing. Maybe not a performance gain but it has a good reputation for reliability. (The compressor, not the bracket...)

This is requiring some oil cooler line work. My bottom cooler line is loose in the ferule... (For another thread) and motor mounts/shock.

Decided to go with the legendary P-flow condenser and bigger fan:



This is another mod that's supposed to pay decent dividends and cure what ails you. Pretty different project from the compressor retrofit I thought.

Now I'm doing this which I consider a separate project within a larger plan and the only phase that will require any electrical work other than the compressor clutch.

Any input on what the cycling pressures should be? What parameters do most CCOT systems cycle at? I'll be able to change them out without losing charge and some of them are adjustable via a screw between the prongs.

I probably need direct evaporator temp...
