A/C in an S13 with a VH45DE???

[Steve Lloyd]

Is there room for the compressor or would it require a lot of fabrication. I know I need to notch the frame rail to fit the alternator, that's why I'm worried about fitting the AC compressor.

I know I will need custom lines and that's not a problem, I'm just concerned about fitting the compressor in there.

This is for my DD and I live in Florida, so AC is a must.

Thanks..........

if you were to run a top mount alternator there might be enough space to stuff the A/C compressor down there, then again a smaller compressor from some fwd nissan might fit better............but who knows?

You would have to do some pretty extreme trickery to get it to work. For sure I dont think you could have all the stock accessories (PS, Alternator, and AC) in their stock locations...

Might be easier to rig up some electric compressor...

will not fit unless you remove the tc rod and most of the frame rail...you'll have to reconfigure the engine accessory system to support it in an s13.

I hate to threadjack, but is it pretty much the same situation in an s14?
