another a/c question

[starkos14]

ok, my a/c pump went bad before i had the chance to throw it on my sr. i went to tthe junkyard yesterday and pulled one off a 93 vert. will i have any problems hooking that up to my lines? also, is the a/c pump a different type than what i have? will it work?

as for the 2 bolts that line up... which ones? i searched and it seems like everyone does different things, or has different answers... pretty confused at this point and i want some damm a/c!

as for the belt, i was going to pickup an sr belt

side note, i got the ka a/c bracket with the pump. i dont think i need it, but you never know and dont bash on me for the search, i did and im pissed off cause my car got broken into at the junkyard so any help to get my a/c working would be lovely

[starkos14]

ok i learned now that i just fuked myself.... i vented my ac, all my seals are going to dry up, the s13 ka24de is not the same as my 97. the lines are different sizes. only 1 bolt lines up! if you use the bottom 2 bolts, the pump is crooked. wtf help!

[180fan]

have you tried the sr ac bracket and put the s14 compressor on that.

[starkos14]

yup, i have a s13 blacktop.... that might be one of the problems

[180sxmonster]

hey im having the same problem....i m swapping an s14 sr into my s13 and only one bolt will line up with the ka compressor to the sr bracket...ive tried using the ka bracket...not even close... help please

[SlowTK]

From what I've read, the S13 compressor will only line up with two holes on the redtop, not the blacktop SR. I'm still searching for an answer, since I have a blacktop in AZ and A/C would be nice, very nice.

Hopefully this will help. This guy was doing redtop into s14. For my case, i have attached the ac compressor to my redtop (97 240sx compressor). However, redtop and blacktop (both s13) have different ac compressor bracket. Here you go.

"ok so here goes, ill go thru 2 steps that i did to get it to work. Step 1 compressor , step 2 wiring. Guys like i said before in my first post this was so simple it was scary , i dont know why nobody knew how to do this, infact i never tried what i though for the wiring because it looked to easy and i figured if nobody colud figure it out then it couldnt possibly be that simple.

So here goesSTEP 1 COMPRESSOR

when i put my s14 ka compressor on the s13 sr its 3 bolt holes (if i remember correctly since i really only have the top two on now) would line up but the clutch would hit the compressor bracket. so i went to the junk yard in search of a longer clutch that put the belt ribs out about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch more twoards the front of the car, and low and behold i found one. it was off of a nissan pathfinder 95 v6. the clutch was long enough but it had one extra rib (sr and ka use 4 rib belt/ pathfinder 5 rib belt) but when i put it all together the belt lined up perfectly. the stock s14 ka lines now obviuosly work because you are using the original compresor with one exception . The one that goes out to the condensor fits perfectly however , you will need to bend the one that goes towards the fire wall with the little tank on it a little bit as it will hit the powersteering bracket. but it wil fit it took me about 10 minutes of bending , testing, bending testing etc, but trust me it will fit just be carefull not to kink it to much. also the factory belt will work with this setup no special belt needed and the tensioner will also work fine. well fill it with freon and your done with this step.

STEP 2 WIRING

This was the simplest part , on the s14 the plug for the compressor is not on the engine harness as for the SR, the s14 has the plug on the driverside fender well , this comes from the main harness that goes by the driverside fender. Well since your using your original compressor you will find that it plugs right in just as it did before. However when you push the a/c button on the dashboard nothing happens. you will notice that all of the other controls work except for the a/c button. you might also notcie if you jump the relay in the fuse box that the clutch will engage and compressor will turno on, but we want it to work like stock with the button on the dasboard. So here is what you do

***** this is the big secret that the wiring people wont tell you ****

on the f3 conector (big white plug under dashboard near passenger foot well , you know the one you have to splice into to make your engine swap work) you need to splice together the following cables pin 16 yellow/ black to pin 43 or 46 (cant remeber now im at work) black/pink. and what do you know voila it works, push the a/c button a/c turns on, pust it again it turns off. 2 friggin wires, it was staring me in the face for like a week before i tried it , it seemed to easy, thats it just sauder those two wires togerther and ti will work like stock.

the only issure is wiring it into the idle air control valve so the rpms wont drop as much but i dont really think that is an issure as i have not had any problems with it yet its not to bad but i already pretty much got that figured out and iwill be doing it at some point later this week i will post it then. hope this helps some of you people sweating in your car, cuz ill tell you here in miami i is hot as biatch"

i been using the pathfinder compessor for 2 years now.. works great...

[starkos14]

so i guess the redtop bracket is the way to go? and the pathfinder compressor fits 97 lines? wow, what a trick... never read that one before

will this one work?

[starkos14]

since nobody replied, im just going to look for a s13 blacktop compressor, i dont need lines or anything... just the compressor

[afracer]

Or you could spend $25 by having the ends of your hoses modified to suit the SR20 A/C compressor by an A/C shop. That's what I did and it works fine.

[starkos14]

now i just need an a/c compressor
