Side mirror help please !!

Great numbers..what did he build for you? I set up mine to be a spirited street car without any track use. He did an insane job on the a/c and fabricated it using a compressor from a Gulfstream.

How'd he get all this in the car? If it was a Gulfstream RV I understand. Would love to see the parts.

LOL....that is a lot of stuff. attached is the best pix I have. If you need a parts list best to call Rothsport. I only write the checks and set the design goals and details.

Are we talking about a Gulf Stream RV/Trailer or a Gulfstream Aircraft?

Jet aviation "AC" doesn't work like an automotive setup. It's quite a bit more complicated and requires the parts you see in the diagrams posted.
The (engine) compressor spins at 80-100,000 rpm. In the illustrated assembly, air is compressed, then allowed to rapidly expand, which cools it below freezing. This is mixed and pushed forward to the cabin, where it is further mixed before introduction into the cabin.
There is no Freon or R134 in a jet. Helicopter and light aircraft. Gulfstream doesn't make those.

FWIW: Make sure you didn't write a check for a Gulfstream Aerospace setup you didn't get. LOL!

Otherwise, it's a cool build! We are all looking forward to your progress reports.

Thank you for that comprehensive and laconic dissertation on the fundamentals of aircraft HVAC. As long as it works I don't really care what they did. I agree as far as what all this cost...I am way beyond worrying about a budget but I think they said something about throwing in a 100 hrs of flight, fuel and pilots time on a G5 with my purchase....Hopefully I will find out if it all works by next summer.

Not that it seems to really matter. But to the extent you are going with flag mirrors to be correct, there never was a chrome right hand side flag mirror. At first people sourced a BMW mirror for that. Now there seem to be more accurate productions (I won't say "reproduction"). But, I can certainly see you going with that style for the "correct" style.

I have a number of bmw 2002's including 72tii and I was thinking the same thing that the mirrors look pretty similar. I think I have several sets of NOS in my stash. Interesting idea..I will look closer at it.

Funny thing. I just went from the General Info threads to the Technical threads and found this is very active: http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...-side-2-4-1973

Thanks Jay !! What I learned from that is to do what I think looks and works the best since I will not be looking for concourse points.

For giggles and grins this is the last bit of information on a Gulfstream AC/HVA System.

Here is the ACM. This turns around 100,000 rpm. Takes 400 degree air, compresses it, cooks it to 180 degrees, dehumidifies, expands it to where it drops below freezing and then mixes it to a balmy 36 degrees and sends it out to be mixed into the cabin to selected comfortable temperature.

It WILL NOT fit in a Porsche. This is my photograph in a G550.

Tell Jeff that not even he is good enough to make this work. LOL!
