Subject:Re: Is there a better Upgraded compressor for the 88 up 2.1L?

Gary,

I'm guessing your high-speed fan is on due to the high-side pressure being
to high.

Let me take a few guesses at your situation: you're running R134 in an '86
or later van and the outside temp is over 95 degrees?

If this is your situation, I can think of two possible solutions:

1 - Replace your existing condenser with a higher efficiency parellel flow
condenser.

2 - Remove some of your R134 to lower the high-side pressure.

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,
    Can't slip anything past you Jeff.   Your quite
right but even a smaller pulley would not help me as
the high speed fan is running most of the time I
really need the AC.   Don't suppose a sharp cookie
like you has a solution for that?  regards gary
