- It's time to upgrade my Classic Retrofit Electrocooler Vintage Porsche Air Conditioning. In part one, I begin the process of installing the high output (175 amp) Alternator and the 2nd condenser for the system.

This is a Porsche 911 restoration that was abandoned in 1994 after being converted to a race car. My plan is a twin turbo Subaru EZ30 porsche engine swap with 400+ HP to the wheels. Stay tuned.

High Five! Your videos are getting better every time. The way you explain everything and communicate with the viewer etc. before you know it you are going to have a million subscribers!
Ahh... The last-minute pre-road trip repair and upgrade push. I know it well.
Go, Michael, go!
Great channel! Clearly explained! Perfect!
I miss Blasphemy, but it’s nice to see the Grey Ghost getting some love 🙂
Love the retrofit AC I need that in Australia
Game changer!
I love Tessa tape.
It would be worth cutting triangular pieces of alloy to act as a splash guard on the ends of the condensers nearest the rear wheel, will save the condensers, fans and electrics from rock damage. Make them fit with a gap all around both the fenders (wings) and the inner chassis for air flow, you can always either press louvres or add grill mesh or rubber flaps if you need more air flow through the splash panels 👍
Yes, with the condenser behind the rear wheel it has to have a stone guard. Patience. :-)
Congratulations on 15K. 🤙🖐🤙
Congrats on the 15K, Michael! Well deserved :) Great to see you back on the Grey Ghost too. Looking forward to see the jobs get finished and wish you all the best on the trip
Rock on! Thinking about doing the same for my car this fall/winter, even though it’s a Targa, to make it a daily… eventually…
Congrats on 15K subs. This is the video that will push me over to getting a CR aircon
Congrats on 15k….. are you planning to do any filming of the road trip?
Your very welcome I watch you all the time. awesome work. And good luck and know you can do it.
lucky you to have a finished project to play with too
congrats on hitting 15k subscriptions.
keep up the great content Michael
15k… well done. with all your hard work and great content,you will pass 100k soon 👍
✋ Michael and congratulations on 15K subscribers! That Classic retro fit is expensive but I'm excited to see how it turns out! Kudos!!
Congrats on 15K! Great vid as usual
Congrats on the 15K! Nice to see the GG getting some love. Are you going to be shooting any video whilst on the road trip?
High 5 and congrats on 15K! Glad to see you remembered you welder helmet there!
He was using one of those hand held shields that come with all hobby welders. If you've ever tried to stick your head under a fender with a full face helmet on you would like this idea.
High fives all around!
Where can I source one of those Boxter condensers? Have a part number?
Super helpful video by the way. I have a slant nose so my only option is to mount where you mounted your condensers
enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.
15K! Congratulations!
Good vid bruh!
Love the grey ghost !!
That makes two of us!!
maybe consider that UV reflecting window tint. they make it clear if you dont want your windows darker. help that greenhouse stay cool.
I’ve definitely been thinking about it. I’m not sure if I can pull it off from the time I have.
DOOOOD!
👍
Where can I get this kind of alternator?
Will it fit a beetle engine?
Like into its shroud
🥶
Any options to put the condenser's in on the underside of the front pan or front wheel wells? Would have tp run longer hose but would be beneficial weight-wise as well as thermally.
No sir. But it's sorted now!

Hey when installing the classic retrofit Air conditioning system didn’t you have to upgrade the cars electrical wiring to be more robust to handle the added electrical requirements of the new air conditioning system? A Porsche targa 911 friend from Salem Oregon is installing the classic retrofit Air conditioning system in his car, and he said he found that he had to upgrade is wiring system just because of the air conditioning system requirements. really enjoy seeing much more more videos on the grey ghost the classic 911 in the future.
The alternator comes with heavy duty red and black cables as you can see in the video. That is all you need.
👋🏽
High Five Michael- can't wait to see if this works as well as $6k says it should...
Oh, it definitely works! It’s a great piece of kit.
There wasn’t a full Grey Ghost build series was there? I’ve only seen a couple of vids?

I’m thinking to order A/c Sys. for my 930 84 do you think I kneed the alternator to , ??
I would reach out to the AC company. My guess is that the answer is yes since I doubt your existing alternator puts out close to the 175 amps he installed here. If you plan to run a double condenser setup with 2 electric fans they you want as much excess electrical capacity as possible, especially if you spend much time in traffic with the engine near idle speed.
Definitely I’d get it.
👍👍👍👍😁

“Air conditioning is cool” - sure is.
High 5 ... You looked tired don't kill yourself
