I don't think insulating that hose would make that much of a difference.

well there's one guy on the org here that has a domain site dedicated to tweaks for the max. Most of them are for the VG, however, he said that most of the mods done to his VG will work on a VE. I wish I would've saved that site. Anyway, one of them caught my eye and he has insulated the A/C line with some kind of cloth and he said that the cabin will cool down faster and the inside temp. may drop by a few degrees. I beleive the guy lives in New Zealand. He is a frequent org. user and i'm willing to bet all of you guys know him. I just forgot his name. dam.

Yeah, that's Wiking...I totally thought you were just messing around when I first read this post. At first I thought a newbie was posting, then I saw your name and thought it was a joke.

Yeah, I think that's him. Does anyone have a link to his cardomain site? I want to double check some things cause summer is just around the corner and I want to get the full effect of my A/C.

Ok mabye useing some type of insulation on ALL of the AC piping might have a small effect on the system ( just as on a much greater scale insulating the ducts in a home does ) but I dont think it would really be a much noticable differance. Possibly a small MPG dif??? HEY GURUS Whatchya think??

Hello? Insulating that hose makes difference. If you cannot distinguish that, u cannot see difference between camel and flea. But then, whats a camel?

For scep tics:
Tired to go into specs on the issue: Just say crap it wont work. AND. FRY...

But those who want real boost in cooling:
Make the insulation from the A/C pump metal pipe. But as said, its important that all is tightly wrapped and will not get onto exhaust pipe...

the site is: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748507/7

Btw II
I have here in colorado a Nissan Pathfinder (made in US) that already has half of the cooling tube insulated. Never seen that on any car, but then what do I know... Still, Why only half insulation?
