I have an s13 and would like to retain my AC system. I've heard thats its possible but do I use the rb compressor or the stock KA? Does the lines need to be redone/custom? Ive search but didnt find any results.

I know I tried that one first too, but nothing came up

FYI - The NICO search engine doesn't allow 2-letter searches because it finds 10 million instances where "A" is after "C" and you would have to wade through a ton of misdirected threads. I know racebread.com has a good thread about air conditioning too.

Yeah, I know I checked the RaceBread stuff on S-14's recently, but it seems that there is nothing definitive yet.

Best info out is here on NICO.

Anything you do will have to be a custom setup. AC systems are not that complicated to get running. The hard part is keeping them from blowing up. That's where your electrical creativity comes into play. My plan is to control power to the compressor via the high/low pressure switch. Kinda hard to do it without the KA ecu anymore. RB doesn't have AC control in it.

The RB God's have spoken. I've followed many threads about AC from Bluefire and Darius.
