Ambient temp outside was only about 60 deg. Here are some pics of how I got the Ac from 40 deg to about 34 deg. (vent temp). I was hoping for 5 deg so this works.
Part list.
ACE self adhesive insulating pipe wrap. -40deg up +180deg.
(I looked at three diff. brands this brand was fire retardant and was pretty close in temp. ratings.)
Zip Ties
(I went with 8" because they are a little easier to work with in tight areas 4" can be hard to work with.)
2- hose clamps for 3/4-1" (I went with 1"stainless steel)
Aluminum Tape
Removal of air cleaner box is a must if its stock. 10mm bolt and 12mm bolt and clamp at top.
Wiping the pipe clean first is a very important part if you want the wrap to stick at all.
I used short pieces of pipe wrap 5-6" and wrapped the bottom half of the tube and then went over the top and wrapped the top half of the tube (as shown in one of the pics). The pipe wrap is pretty sticky which helps hold it in place but wouldn't last very long once you started to drive.
I wrapped over the pipe wrap with the aluminum tape but the tape I wrapped the other way around the pipe. To get the tape to stick good atleast a wrap and a half works best. I overlapped these wraps atleast 1/4 of the width of the tape. The aluminum tape actually gets pretty firm once you mash the crinkled parts down so don't worry if it gets a little crinkled there is no way around it. One some of the end pieces I placed a tie wrap just for the added security to make sure it stays on.
The part down next to the exhaust I did last because the car had to cool down. Be careful working around the exhaust it can easily burn you.--Safety warning for this job
I started out by single wrapping this piece and then taped it and then added another wrap of insulation and put the clamps on. I went with clamps down here instead of tie wraps because of how close it is to the exhaust.
I set the controls and opened all the upper vents. The vent with the thermostat isn't the only one open. I also had the windows down and know that recirc. doesn't do any good like that but I was wanting the fan speed of recirc. for the temp.
i had all the supplies except for the insulation because were adding central air to my house. i started and finished in like 35 minuites. i wraped it and taped it. but i didnt notice any difference. in the beginging the temp. was @ 41 degrees it didnt seem to drop but ill check on it again soon looks good though
