well guys, as the title says, i got a few questions for those in the know... so here we go...

specs on my car1995 240SX SES13 SR20DET Black Top

questions-

1. Are the black/red top AC compressors the same?2. Are the Black/red top AC compressor brackets the same?

the red top and black top lines are different i think, which would lead me to believe that the compressors are different.... but the main question at hand is the No. 1 question...

i have a red top bracket and compressor that i can have for free, and i'm picking up a new S14 to put my SR into out of my current S14, and while it's out, i would like to go ahead and convert the KA lines with SR ends, but i need to know the parts compatibility... so i know if a Red top bracket will fit on my black top block, then i can go ahead and order the red top SR AC line ends to weld onto my KA AC lines....

thanks for any and all help guys!!!

1. The compressors are different. The bolt locations are different as are the line ends. 2. The brackets are also different due to the same reason.

Here is my set up.

I bought a Redtop Bracket and the stock KA AC compressor lines "fit".. but the pulley would hit the bracket.

Then i bought CodyAce's AC bracket of which i bought Redtop with S14 KA compressor.

Redtop and Blacktop compressors are 100 percent different in terms of monting brackets. On top of that, KA S13 and KA s14 compressors are different as well. It's almost as if Nissan swapped them for no reason at all, as earlier s13 redtop brackets darn near match s14 ka compressors

Anywho, I offer a bolt on solution that allows you to run ANY KA chassis 240 compressor with any SR20 variation out there. Email me (codyaceATgmailDOTcom) for more information!
