Im supercharging my rav4 over the next 3 months, (its alot more work then i thought) i was wondering but, i have to take out the air con to fit the charger, if there anyway i can get an air con after i finish the car? one that mayby runs off the battery or something?

well the air con pump runs off the motor spinning to spin it so if you could devise something to spin it other than the motor and place it somewhere else and redo all the piping to compensate then YES

the supercharger HAS to sit where the aircon is its pretty big i could mount it up top and run it off the ignition belt but then i would have to cut my bonnet out. and this is designed to be a sleeper
and the mounts im getting made up are the same as my friends for his supercharged celica. same engine so i get it all cheaper. and everything is allready planned. i could relocate the air con... but the aircon raidiator will be taken out to fit the front mount intercooler.

FMIC: front mount inter cooler
im not disputing the hidding but how you gonna do that? its a front mount?
but either way with no air con pump and condensor then you cant have air con in... so its either supercharge and no air con OR no supercharge OR top mount supercharge and air con w/ cooler somewhere

ya i was wrong fmic = front mount intercooler. i was as thinking of super mic or something its a ecu but a shity one.
im most likely using a truck intercooler. to take the place of the a/c radiator. so the rav4 front grilled leaves not much sapce to look through + spraying the intercooler black makes it hiden really well. u dont really notice it... and whos got time to look at the front of my car when there next to me at the lights? once iv had my fun but ill be getting a bodykit spice it up a bit. unhiden boost gauges, all the rest.
