Spaz is Back and BOOSTED

[Spaz]

Well shortly I'll be making the 8 hour drive to Kentucky for Import Alliance. My car though has no AC as I pulled it for my tuck... I'm taking my GF this year and so we, yes I let her do this DIY with me, made a poor man's AC. They say on average it is good for around 6 hours. So I can easily make a quick stop at any gas station and buy more ice and keep it going.


So here is what I'm using. 5 gallon bucket, 5 gallon styrofoam liner, 2" PVC Couplers (x3) 2" Hole Saw, Drill, Mini fan and silicone sealant.




First off, make sure you cutter is same size and coupler


Then cut out 3 holes in your bucket


Test fit.. should be tight fit


Now place your liner in the bucket and cut out the Styrofoam


Now test fit that


Take your silicone and go around all the piping pieces to a make a air tight seal




Now trace out your fan onto the Styrofoam




test fit fan



Now cut smaller hole for fan to fit in top lid


test fit and make adjustments as needed



Boom you're done. I plan on running a frozen milk jug of water inside the styrofoam. But you can use anything you want. A bag of ice will work just fine. The milk jug will just be easier to contain the water once it melts. :thumbsup:

I have a digital thermometer I will test this out on a hotter day. But we put it in the backseat and sat in the garage with it on and you could definitely tell a difference. Obviously not perfect like the factory AC but when you have none anything is better than nothing.

Redneck engineering. Lol right on.

My injectors are the downfall. They aren't performing correctly my tuner says. He definitely recommends me getting different injectors and a bigger better pump or run dual pumps.

What injectors and fuel pump? Do you have a return?

How are you gonna plug in the fan to the car?? and yes I might just make one of these for long hot trips #noACcrew

That is awesome!

I'm running 1000cc injectors and 255 walbro pump. I am also running a return line. I called Injector Dynamics turns out the injectors I bought are fake. So with what my tuner says they are probably not spraying as well as they should acting more like 800s than 1000s. I'll be swapping them out with 2000cc and a dual fuel pump setup.

They make the same fan with cigarette lighter plug but in this case I have a power inverter I am using for 12v

Now all you need are some cheapo hoses so you can route the air to blow directly on you

[SAX JONZ]

Fake?! Wth? That sucks.

[PetefromtheStreets]

How did you tell they were fake? I have a feeling mine are.

The ID injectors I bought used have an extra SN hand engraved into the injectors and when I had them cleaned and flow tested by ID they didn't tell me they were fake. Do yours have the extra SN?
