Air conditioner with the rb20det?

How possible is this in an s13? Impossible? Expensive?

What did the flashing redbutton to the top right of the screen say? Done it has been, search you must.

Well, you cant expect everything to be new that is posted. I actually did search, but found nothing specific to this forum. Thanks anyway.

Heh, btw, the other day I tried pushing the A/C button on my dash. The engine idled up as it should have, then settled back down. Then, when I turned the A/C off, the engine idled down.

This is with no compressor (and there is no FICD on the RB20). So that means that my wiring is correct and that the ECU is getting a good signal from the thermo control amp. So suffice it to say that the RB20 ECU can certainly work with the S14 A/C system.

The hoses are a different beast, tho. Both cars have 12 mm high side hoses, but S14 has 19 mm low side hoses while R32 has 16 mm low side hoses. yeah. So anybody know where I can get 19 to 16 mm compression fittings? The only thing I have not checked is whether or not the 16 mm pipe will slide right inside the 19 mm pipe. If it does, then I can just braze them together, problem solved.
