  • We fit the Classic Retrofit Electric AC kit to my 964 Turbo as we have a few days before mapping the car.
    Air conditioning was always a must on this car. I already had a fully working standard AC system, but wanted to give this new electric version a go to tidy up the engine bay and see how well it works.

    I really love the videos; Phil and Jay together are just brilliant. So many car build series videos are full of swaggering dudebro douchebags telling you how sick everything is, and it's a refreshing change to have videos presented by people who you'd actually enjoy spending time with in real life. Keep up the great work guys.

    I'm so glad you guys got on the UA-cam train. I am a long standing customer and Forum user from way back in the day. UA-cam needs more of this quality content!

    A suggestion, make some fine mess shields for under the arches and add louvers (face down) to keep all road debris and rain from the tyres off the condensers, fans and oil cooler.

    The difference between you guys and all other car enthusiast videographers is that you actually have talent. Why you don’t have 1 million subscribers is beyond me. Perhaps your work is too intelligent for the average UA-camr who just wants eye candy with no substance. Keep up the good work!! It’s interesting.

    • @driftworks
      @driftworks  2 роки тому

      Thanks Jay, I wouldn't use the words too intelligent. But most people don't have the patience for substantive content on UA-cam. It has to be quick-fire and high intensity. We are neither of those things 😂

    Any final thoughts on how the electric setup works compared to the original? I've got a backdate 964 here in the shop, and the factory condenser doesn't fit, so this kit is under consideration.

    • @driftworks
      @driftworks  2 роки тому

      I've used it now. It was very hot over the last weekend and we did hundreds of miles. It's not as good as the standard AC, but it would have been horrible without it.

      I can't recall exactly what my final justification was for swapping from a perfectly working original AC system. But some kind of combo of looks, weight distribution and intrigue about electric AC.

    So aircooled engines don't provide heating to the interior of the car. WOW! Never knew that.

    • @bwm999
      @bwm999 2 роки тому

      They do with the stock exhaust headers which also function as a heat exchanger to warm fresh air which is piped into the cabin.

    • @ericn7698
      @ericn7698 2 роки тому

      The heater core usually has engine coolant running through it to provide heated air to the cabin. No coolant in an air-cooled engine means (convoluted) alternatives must be used.
