Making the AC Colder

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

Today was a hot day in houston , and i noticed it was so hot that i had to put my AC all the way on high to stay cool.

I also notices it wasnt blowing as cool as usual, this only happens on hot days 95*+.

So i was wondering if it is possible to use a diffrent kind of freon to get the AC to blow colder.

I have 134a freon in there right now.

dunno if it's possible man when it gets that hot out here our a/c's seem to struggle a bit more cuz of the extreme heat we have, a flush may work but i doubt it.

have you check the level? you might need to charge it, i just charged mine and blows a lot cooler. it was cool before but now its cold as hell.

[CAMAROWIDBASS]

yes the level has been checked by my mechanic and he said it was fine.

It just seems to struggle when it gets hot above 95* or so.

Air Conditioning Insulation Wrap

This will definitely help. And if you don't have tint already, it will also help keep the car from getting too hot too quick.

Are you serious?! The AC in my car freezes the hell out of me on the lowest setting if it's on long enough! I have to rotate the temperature knob towards the middle if I want to keep it running all the time. You might need a flush or something, my old Formula's AC was weak until I had my done.

my freezes my *** off too on low settings

Been there. I don't think it's a flush problem, these people don't realize that Houston is not like Virginia and such. They sell a booster that you put into the system, that I have actually seen drop the temperature at the vents 7 degrees. You can get it at any parts store, and is a small can compared to the cans the 134a comes in. Fairly inexpensive too. You put it into the system the same way you do the 134a.

thanks for the input and i have done the ac wrap thing already, and i have 5% tint all the way around.

on a regular day i have to do this too, cause then it gets too cold.

But on a hot summer day there it never stays cool enough.

I have never heard of this but sounds very interesting i can imagine if you a/c get to 67* you can drop it down to 60* badass :cool: i was looking into buying a new compressor yesterday but i think i'll try this out first if i can find it.

Hahaha, so what? You think we don't get regular temps in the 90s here in VA? You should watch the weather more often! We can even get heat indexes of like 115 and crap. But ya I know Texas is hotter on the average day than Va, but don't think its comfortable up here during the Summer months either cuz it's not.

[pontiac nino]

VA gets all the badass temps in the summer like inthe 70's and 80's only 2 places i know of hotter than here, Arizona which gets super cold @ night and super hot inthe day and MEXICO! man i don't want to start to tell you about the heat down in MEXY, humid like a damn jungle ewww
