I was wondering if I may get some experienced opinions on a possibly cooling mod for my FI set-up and wanted to run my ideas by any who may be able to comment with experience with this or just your thoughts on my idea.

I was mainly trying to get anyone’s thoughts on a possible A/C heat exchanger relocate behind teh radiator. If teh heat exchanger were behind teh radiator would there be enough exchange to cool teh A/C exchanger to operate efficiently enough to cool teh car. I would not expect it to work as well as is does when being teh first point of contact, but most keep there’s behind their FMIC and I assume still work efficiently enough.

Two ideas fuel teh thought to relocate teh A/C heat exchanger. First is for esthetics and a somewhat more stealthy approach. I feel without teh exchanger in front of teh radiator, I would have teh ability to move my FMIC further back in hopes to conceal it a little bit better. Secondly, cooling in order from front to back, this changes teh idea from a cooling perspective. FMIC > Radiator > Heat Exchanger

A/C being teh last thing that I am worried about cooling but living in a state too hot to delete, I put this last to be cooled. To accomplish this I thought to use pushers for fans instead of pullers on teh radiator allowing me to mount it fairly close to the radiator on the backside. So cooling can be focused on FMIC, radiator and then teh heat exchanger. With some recent measuring and obviously a little cutting, I feel I also can maximize teh size of FMIC within teh space being provided be relocating teh heat exchanger elsewhere.

So on to my original question:

What is everyone’s thoughts on teh cooling factor teh A/C heat exchanger would be able to provide behind teh radiator vs. in front of it? Those who still have their heat exchanger behind their FMIC, are you seeing a difference in cooling when running you’re A/C on a warm day where A/C is needed?

Please share an ideas or constructive criticism here as I am just playing with ideas for cooling and would enjoy any advise anyone may provide, good or bad and possible things I may have not considered when thinking this out.

Thanks in advance,

being that the condensor is probably cooler than engine coolant temp. putting it behind the radiator will actually heat the condensor which would be the reverse effect of what is needed. doing this will probably cause the gas pressure to rise to the point where it will shut the ac system off.
having an intercooler in front of the condensor isnt that bad. the radiator fans pull alot of air through the radiator and condensor assy. probably enough that the intercooler wont affect it that much. also from first hand experience, i didnt notice a difference driving an inlinepro turbo S.
