CA A/C P/S questions

[azrps13]

Will the A/C and P/S from the clip work on my 1990 s13?

[Nismo1182]

Yes, just as long as you have all the lines, everything will transfer over.

[azrps13]

what would be easier... to pull all the lines or use the one in my car?

To use the JDM A/C compressor you have to have the lines brazed onto your system. If you use the KA compressor and have the pully's swapped (you'll prob have to take it to Nissan, cuz you need a special tool) The belts will line up alright. As for the P/S, I've heard it bolts up, but you'll need the RWD CA bracket.

Im sure he can unscrew the line to where it goes behind the motor and screw on the CA lines. He will have to use the CA condenser, unless you can unbolt the line there also.

If the clip is a silvia clip, then the PS will good to go. Only problem will be you will need the DOHC KA powersteering line or bend and ghetto rig the SOHC to over to the driverside like I did.

If you have a superhica pump, you have to remove the rear housing and remove the little fins and find a bolt to plug up the rear housing.

i dont have HICAS so i think im ok

[float_6969]

you don't have HICAS, or the clip doesn't?

[nab911]

what if we dont have a clip... do u have to swap the ka one on because my motorset has a lot of cut lines...

[Nismo1182]

Use you KA PS pump on the CA bracket, unless the clip was HICAS. Which im about to see if a regular PS pump fits a HICAS bracket.

if it's a HICAS pump, seal the rear line and take the fins out from the pump.

my friend Mikie is running KA24E A/C compressor on his CA. Lines matched up just fine..it bolted up to the CA bracket and is only like 1/4 inch off-center. Don't think he's had any problems with it...

[nab911]

Well i know my ca A/C compressor bolts right up but i might take my ka one seeing as it was bad *** . But as for power sterring i havnt really looked to see if the lines will match up or can be easily fabricated to. So after i take a look ill let yall know.

[alfred183]

You can bend the P/S lines to work. Not that hard...

The only prob w/using the KA A/C on the CA is the pully's don't like up quite right. I never put a belt on mine, so I don't know if it make a lot of noise or anything. I'm going to have the pully off off the CA A/C put on my KA A/C and then everything should line up.
