Thread: "Project A/C to beat the heat" "Pics Inside"

^Yes. I still have it. Double check the bolt pattern on the one you have. Is it the same? I don't want you to get stuck with a A/C Compressor you can't use like I did. I have a JDM SR20 motor in my car, and it would not bolt up to the USDM A/C bracket I have. The USDM A/C bracket bolted up to the block, but that was not the case for the A/C compressor bolting up to the bracket. Bolt pattern on the A/C compressor is different. I still don't know what car it came off of. I will sale it to you though, if you think it will work.

I've made a quick comparison pic here. I think we've got the same compressor, so I will buy it from you. Check your pm's.

so to recap what's in this thread, in order to convert from R12 to R134 i will need the following.
1) R134 compressor
2) R134 condensor
3)R134 expansion valve
4)R134 evaporator
5) R134 a/c lines
6) R134 dryer/receiever
R134 o-rings & seals PAG oil

is this correct? Because i need to convert my system , it's blowing warm at idle and obviously i can't evacuate & recharge due to it being R12.so i want to start looking for the parts i need

^That is correct. I ordered my o-rings and dryer from rockauto. Those items have to be purchased new if you want leak free long term A/C. Also, I will be purchasing a new expansion valve since it is only $23 just to be safe. Then have your system professionally flushed/vacuumed and charged. Then you should be good to go.

here's mine out of the VE engine i got



the heavy ass bracket! thing weights more than the dang compressor!!!


it seems that none of the usdm lines will fit it so im making a hybrid GA-VE lines and converting to hcf-134, and of course, replacing the o-rings, receiver/dryer and maybe my condenser, but i may not since it was tits cold before

i will be tackling the AC project soon , this is good reference.

^Do you mean the RR bracket will not bolt up to a DE block, or the A/C compressor from the DE you had would not bolt up? I thougt all the SR20 blocks were the same?



^Another pic added to the first page.

^UK (left) vs USDM (right) a/c brackets. I need to finish posting pics/info for this thread. I'll get on that.

Success!! tonight i swapped a line from a 93 NX2k into my B14 and converted the line by retroffiting it to R12 to 134a fitting 2 cans of refrigerant, the compressor kicked on and took it for a long drive Cold AC once again,

however , when i drove back from a 20 mile trip with cold AC , and i pulled to the light of the exit ramp, i started hearing belt squeel, i drove home and car is ok.

tomorrow ill tighten the belt and see if that works.

funny thing is i purchased the 93nx line and a B15 AC compressor that i did not install.

this thread helped me out , thanks again for the research.
