AC?

hi, i may be taking the hornet somewhere really hot, and am wondering about ac. I understand that some export models had ac, but i cant find any data on it, nor any parts. I have installed ac before, so any parts/data is totaly welcome. thanks

This is a tricky one.

As far as I know, the post-96 distributorless engines that came with the AC is the Japanese spec engines, HOWEVER they are SPi but with distributorless ignition system and also with a side-mounted radiator.

Is your Hornet retains the side rad or the MPi front-rad? I don't know whether the MPi setup (with the front-mounted rad) will be able to run a Japanese spec AC system or not due to lack of space...

thanks, i have the front mounted rad, im running full MPI, there is a big hole where the side mounted one sat. I heard that the condenser sat in the front of the front mount, and it must be frickin tiny!

There are always other methods available.

They have air con systems, although expensive that should be posible to retro fit to a Mini.

If you want to make your own aircon system, you could probably check THIS THREAD for some ideas...
