Hey guys,
Going to put the 18R-G in to Rala's RA28 soon...
but is there anywhere to mount the aircon on the RG??
it cant use the original bracket,
Did the RG's ever come out with aircon??
thanks.

We dont have a problem with gassing 
ours has been convered to R134a
As for the older gas, i've heard that a lot of pannel beaters know where/how to get the old gas

Yeh i was pondering on this also cos i have operational A/C on my 18R-c, but on the RGeu theres dizzy and inlet manifold etc right where the big compressor is mounted on the non-crossflow engine.
Anyone adapted the Air Conditioning from an 18Rc to 18RGeu?? not that i really give a shit about A/C, its just that i have a dark coloured car that gets amazingly red-hot on sunny days. And guess what SUMMER'S HERE.
I dont think theres room on an 18rgeu, maybe on the solexed version. Where would u put it tho ??
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which type of gas my stock a/c would use? its a 77 18Rc. I think my mums mitsubishi had to have its gas converted to the legal version a coupla years back and that car is from the mid 80's....
Ahwell who needs aircon, it probably would work like shit under a black bonnet anyway..
PEACE

it will use r12 which is a CFC and is now banned so you need to convert it to r134a which is a HCFC.

Look at the pic above... the aircon compressor is bolted to the cylinder head on the exhaust side of the engine, totally different to the 18R-C. I have an aircon bracket on my 18R-GU, but unfortunately I can't find a compressor that fits.

I was having the same probs when living in townsville. how to aircon the 18rg. Mine is missing that funny little water pump thing that mounts above the altinator, so i was looking there, but then i had dreams of getting a super charger, which would have to have gone there instead. now i live in the gold coast, and found 1g-gte front cuts lying pratcically everywhere. complete with turbos, and aircon...
