    Need to replace A/C condenser but the only available condenser is a bigger and thicker one. What are the pros and cons of a bigger condenser? Will it make the airconditioning better?
    Thanks.

    theoretically it will make the heat exchange process better, but if the system is already designed to spec so you might not see any benefit

    anong model ba nang sasakyan yan na you could not find a drop-in condenser?

    pros - better cooling (surface area of heat exchange is bigger)
    - at times may not need installation of an auxiliary fan similar to Nissan's design
    cons - more expensive
    - may not fit current set-up that may require you to do modifications, ergo, more expense

    Agree, the new braket alone may cost you 2k

    Pros: Better cooling, but as previously mentioned if the system is already utilizing the ideal size condenser, why interfere with the design?

    Cons: You might encounter fitment issues, but beyond that, I do not think it would do any harm.


    I'm open for corrections! :D
