Thread: B13, B14 AC condenser

is the AC condenser of a B13 the same as the one on the B14 ???

They bolt up, but they are not the same. The '91 and '92 use the same, '93 is different, and '94 is different again. All the B14s are the same though.

Only a true expert like Eric would know this Hi Eric. Long time no talk. How are you????


More curveballs Nissan threw in the early 90s. Ridiculous that the B13 has 3 different types.

Now that I think more about it, you could use a different compressor, as long as you use the lines that go with it. I can't remember which way it goes, but the pressure relief valve on one style was on the compressor, and the other style was on the low pressure line. I ran into then when I was putting the AC back in my '91 that did not come with a compressor. Nissan switched from R12 to R134a in '94, that's why that year is different from '93. The B14 might use the same compressor as the '94, but I've never had to look at both and see if they match up. You could use a B14 part in a B13, as long as you use the lines from the B14. The dryer is different, but it's better to replace those anyway.

I just saw the original question was about the condenser not the compressor.

I think they will fit, but you might need to bend one of the fittings a little. I had to do that when putting a '93 part in my '91.
