Way to get the prommy line to reach the mobo laying down??? (pics)

DamienKC · Jan 26, 2005

Hi, i'm in a bit of a "tussle"

I want to go caseless, but i can't get the line to reach the mobo, even with it stacked on 3 boxes, here's what I mean:

As you can see, it CANNOT reach
The farthest down it will reach

Completely off-topic, but this is cool to see

(that's -48 if you can't tell)

i've tried turning it every which way, even highering the mobo over it, i just can't do it, the line doesn't seem long at all. Have any suggestions, i really want to do case less...

Thanks

try putting the goods on the other side of the promm, or on top of it.

The line won't even turn that way, i'm afraid if i force it it'll break or something.

Put it on top of the prommy.

May sound realy dumb, but if ya realy wanna go for caseless then mount mobo to wall beside prommy. May not be perty but will be effective.

not the best idea...compressors/condensers dont like that usually

DamienKC · Jan 26, 2005

I can't bend the line completely downwards without some force, which i'm scared to do. I would put it on the wall, but wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of caseless?

No, oil return wouldn't work very well like that.

You could send the unit to Chilly, Baker, or Bowman and have them put a better and longer suction line on it. The stock ones are prone to breaking anywayz, and this would be a good reason to go ahead and replace it.

I thought about that...wouldn't that cost a couple hundred dollars though?

yea, shipping would be at least $40, and the mod work could be 50-100...
but if you got a better line (braided flex hose), better gas (R507/R404a) and better evap modded on (Chilly1/Baker...etc), it would be a relly nice unit...

Agreed...rhino told me doing all that would lower temps by another 10c or so...which could potentially help the o/c...Where can I get ahold of this "baker"?

more than 10c is likely.

OK i sent chilly1 a pm, i'll see what he says

Nuclear_Fuzion · Jan 26, 2005

I think that normally you are looking at around $250-$300 to have your unit regassed, re-tuned, new block, and new line. It's well worth it, the block alone is a good upgrade. Chilly and Baker both use really good mounting systems, that completely do away with seal string, so in the end you save money on that.

I see you have contacted Chilly, you can also contact Baker at XR or I have his e-mail. Just PM me.

DamienKC · Jan 27, 2005

OK, i'm pretty sure this'll work

yes i'm aware i still have to put on the mounting stuff, i was just seeing if it would reach

is that OK?
