I'm in progress of building my 95 GSX for road racing. I found a nice 2.5 mile road race track a couple hours away, so it has encouraged me to replan aspects of my car. I do want to occasionally drive it on the street, or drive it to work (1.5 hr drive one way), but the main focus will be for the road course. I want to retain A/C for the longer drives off course, but I know the condenser being sandwiched between the radiator and a FMIC isn't the best for airflow to any if those coolers, and can potentially cause over heat issues due to that lack of air flow. I've been looking at various parts such as Honda half size radiators and even a/c condensers with a similar size to half rads. Back when I had my old spyder, I did have a VRSF FMIC for a time, and never had overheating issues, but I also didn't have the a/c system installed. Should I be ok with a condenser and radiator that are both half sized and mounted side by side? Is a half size rad good enough to keep things cooled for sustained racing? Should I just forget about the hvac and keep a full size rad? All suggestions are welcomed.
