Do all zs dervs come with air con?

[lawrence-zs180]

As the title really just wondering and if they do i assume its all part of the rad like the 180 ones but with a intercooler added on.. that about right.
Im looking at doing something but thats about as much as im saying at the min lol

[peterzs]

My ones got air con, but not as I know it.

Its all part of the o/e heater set up, if you want cold just put the dial on that and turn the blower on and push the a/c switch.

On other cars you can dial in the temp and the air con will keep it at temperature.

any chance I can ask for a pic of your rad and intercooler??
Sounds like there like the 180's but a bit shorter to accommodate the intercooler..

[peterzs]

Hi Lawrence

Got this one, I'll take some of the rad and intercooler tomorrow.

Dont suppose this shows you much!!!

:beer2::beer2:

[Ritchy]

shows you an aircon pipe, thats normal aircon pete as most cars will have if im honest, the one where you just put the temprature in is climate control like on the mk2 180 and cetain plus models, as for rad intercooler setup id imagine its a sandwich setup, intercooler first, then the aircon condensor then the engine radiator, at least thats the setup on most cars!

[peterzs]

Yep, thats what I ment Ritchy, couldnt think of Climate Control, thats what I think of when I talk about air con.

My one just works off the heater dial, hot, cold or in between.

Dont know if you still want a photo of the rads Lawrence, or has Ritchy answered your query??????????

:beer2::beer2:

[Ritchy]

take a picture anyway peter interested to see the setup, never payed attension to a diesel zs before in regards to setup at the front,
and climate control is just doing the same thing as your doing, its just adjusting the hot/cold/heater speeds itself as it see's the inside tempreture, the aircon side of things is essentially exactly the same still has the condensing radiator at the front, still has the evaporator in the dashboard and still has the aicon pump run off the engine:)

[peterzs]

Will do Ritchy.

Bloody phone answered this earlier but it didn't post it... the pic would be great cheers pete and cheers for the info ritchy. Will post up what I'm up to once I have done more research

[dida4g]

This is a DERV RAD as the engine looks at it.
The intercooler sits on the left, which will be the right as we look at it in the car.

Hope these are what you wanted, all a bit tight to take, but if you want anything else let me know.

[lawrence-zs180]

Christ that is tight...
Cheers for the pic Pete thats dead handy and means that solves noe issue... right im off to get a cheap 180 haha

[Ritchy]

i take it you wanted to get a T.D. and put a huge FMIC on the font? i recon there would still be space to do that as the bumper juts out quite a bit in front of that

[lawrence-zs180]

I know of a t16 going spare near me and I also have access to a sodding big shed with power and spare emerald ecu... sooooooooooooooooooo im looking at the poss of putting a turbo on a kv6 using the standard internals but adding 2 decomp plates and running it at 4-6 psi so I keep a nice 9:1 ratio...

[peterzs]

Sounds interesting and fast, have to let us know what you come up with.

i take it you wanted to get a T.D. and put a huge FMIC on the font? i recon there would still be space to do that as the bumper juts out quite a bit in front of that

Yes there is space to do just that - and even keep your A\C - i know i have done just that.


need a little material removed to make it fit o na single pass, but is dead easy on the twin pass....

the OE rad and stuff has the intercooler integrated on the passenger side with the Acon rad in front of the main rad.......

bit late but i been crazy busy :laugh:

[Ritchy]

ive not got aicon on my zs and theres a good 8 inches of clearance id think at the front of the radiator lol, not worked on a diesel 45 or zs for a couple of years now!

[p_b82]

withou aircon i think you just need to take a little out the slam panel on the drivers side to feed the pipe back up.... i had to take a little out the bottom bit and i lost the plastic bumper bar too..

tho that might have been because my IC is as deep as matt could possibly get made to fit there :)

oh and to answer the original question.. no not all dervs have A\C but a lot of them do as they most came in + spec :)
