Thread: Turbo AND A/C...

Ive been searching around but cant seem to find anything.

Im looking to see if anybody has used a topmount log style manifold that places the turbo more to the driverside of the vehical which gives more room to fit the downpipe and retain a/c.

Im more so looking to add ac since my nx doesnt have it and im gonna be driving it more once I start on the ls swap in the 240.

It gets humid as hell here and after working in the shop all day without a/c, its nice to hop in the car and start to cool off on the way home.

I have all the a/c parts for my nx that tokes included when I bought it from him other than the compressor and bracket. I figured I could possibly modify the a/c hardlines for more clearance if needed. I guess it also depends on how well I can get the downpipe placed.

Any pics would be nice

Get a a/c line from a 91-92 1.6 Sentra which brings it down by the alternator instead of by the manifold. You have to bend it a little for it to fit perfect but once you get it right you'll be good.

^^ Will that work for B14's as well?

Nice, thats why I love this forum! Good info without the bashing!

there's a 1.6 line off a b14 that works on the B14. i got one for Vadim before, but i forget the part#.

Original B14 SE-R a/c should work fine aswell...

DP pictured is 2.5"

Sweet, thanks for the pic. That is almost exactly what im looking for. My setup is a log style manifold and turbo with 2.5" downpipe like yours. Only problem is mines not on the car yet and its a NX2000 so hopefully there is enough room for the condensor and intercooler behind the stock bumper. I will still need to buy a compressor because the car didnt come with one.

Thanks for the pic!

i have a sticky about putting the 1.6 line onto a sr20. check it out

Here's a pic of mine, you can see the line runs in front of the valve cover and goes down by the alternator completely away from any downpipe you use

.

BJ, I checked that thread. Good s**t, definitely will be using that. Kev, thanks for that pic, makes it real simple to see the result.
