Hi guys got a bit of an emergency here, i have a r32 gts-t/rb20det and i have just blown out one of my rear heater hoses, I managed to get the car home and have had a look but i have no tools or a replacement hose, i was wondering if anyone on the northside(I'm in daveron park) is able to come around with a replacement hose and some tools to help me get this sorted as i have to use the car to pick our 2 kids up from school at 3pm. I can be pm'ed on the forum or text messaged on 0403606243(phone only texts no calls recieving on phone) anyone able to help would be much appreciated can throw you $20 and 6pack for the trouble if able to help.

Cheers Steve.

Steve, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the odds of someone right now sitting at home with nothing better to do, and has an RB20 rear heater hose, and can get to you and fix it for $20 plus a six pack (which I am sure wouldn't even buy you the hose itself), all within the next 2 hours is worse than one in a billion. If I were you, I would be making other plans.

The good news is, that if you can find some copper pipe about the same diameter as the inside of your heater hose, pull the other one off the heater hose off the heater core at the firewall, and join them together with the copper pipe and some clamps. I ran around 'fixed' like that in my R34 for months a few years back. You lose your car heater, but at least the car will be usable.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

      I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
