R26 Removing air conditioning / climate control Megane R26

the pump weighs quite a lot, i took the guts out of the inside and used the casing with the pulley to use as an idler, it's a lot cheaper than the alternative

 

Must be a kilo or 2

The parts inside are quite heavy and it's full of oil

 

I did put the back part of the casing back on, because it weighs next to nothing and it has another fixing on the rear end.

 

lol

Is it in the 6 or 7 Kg range, or more like the 2 to 3Kg range?

 

The glovebox weighs around 3kg lol

 

I am not sure Papps, all i knew is i didn't want it on there, i still have the internals so i might weigh it to see

I need the glovebox so that is staying, i wont have anywhere to put my sweets if i take it out

 

Is this a road or track car?

 

Both :cool:

But it is not my daily drive

 

How do you think the price for courting the aircorn system would be?

 

what do you mean by courting?

 

But what is the need for you to remove the entire air conditioning system from the car? If you want to gain weight, I think you only need to take out part of the air conditioning system. You can take the air-cooling part out of the car, not the other parts. Or you can resort to an even more ingenious idea, you can look for some pieces that are easier. Like, I bought it off https://www.socool.sg/pricing/. you will also gain weight, but you will also have comfort when driving the car. Which is quite important to you.

 

I was at the Ring a couple of years ago and it was super hot. The number of guys who were dying inside their track cars which had had the AC removed was hilarious. Given most TDs are in the summer and driving there/back is likely to be hot/warm i do think AC is worth keeping.

 

I debated removing it on my track only 250, did a track day when the AC wasnt working lol went and had a new AC radiator thing and had it re-gassed and it's staying put. It's not fun being cooked alive with polycarb windows
