SR20DET AC

[Inkrepid]

I just got a SR20DET swapped S13 Coupe, and so far its been great but I would like to get the AC working. I took it to the local AC mechanic today and he said that I would have to get the SR fittings, as I currently have the originial KA24DE lines and they dont mount up to the compressor because the turbo is in the way. Is there a way to make them fit? Will buying the SR fittings make it work? Or will I have to get some custom made. How did you guys do it?

[I ask good questions]

You need to put the ka compressor(assuming its from a dohc) on the SR then the lines will fit. I have a t28 and my lines still fit.

Any mods needed to make the KA compressor fit?

[I ask good questions]

No... but it is only held on by 2 of the 4 bolts. Or you could get the sr and the ka lines tig welded together.

[oki_bum]

yea...lol check my sig, i've been looking for AC lines. Guess i should just buy a dohc ka compressor w/lines. Time to modify my sig!

When i did this, it seemed like it was tilted at an angle and wasn't sure if the belt would hold. which 2 bolts should be used? I'm assuming this is for the KA compressor and SR Bracket

Which of these would I need to get it to work...Ill show three pictures with descriptions.

Picture Number One.

240SX AC lines.

Picture Number Two.

SR20DET AC Compressor.

Picture Number Three.

KA24DE AC Compressor.

From what you guys are telling me, it sounds all I need is picture one and picture three. Is this correct, or do I need the sr20det compressor, or what? Thanks for all your help, I just wanna make sure before I buy.

Well from my understanding its like this:

S13 240sx, S13 AC Lines, S13 SR Motor w/KA24DE AC Compressor....

[I ask good questions]

Right use all of the 240sx ac stuff on the SR. Has to the be the dohc compressor and s13 redtop ac bracket. sorry if i failed to mention that before

i found this site while looking for sr20 ac bracket for my upcoming swaphttp://www.onetongarage.com/scroll down all the way and you will see a adapter bracket to fit ka ac into srbut it says "coming soon"and there is no phone number, only way to contact seems like to email

bracket from the picture seems pretty damn simpleif i could get the dimensions of those two pieces, i can get it machined at my work...hope i can get hands on these parts soon

[oki_bum]

doesnt look like the sites been updated for a while, i could be wrong.

DO IT!

I don't have a dohc compressor but I have the SR one. Does it work ? Will the DOHC lines go into the SR compressor ?

[Jfob]

those custom brackets project has been on and off for 2 years, the guy at the shop said.and he says he will try to get it ready by this summer.i can't wait that long, besides who knows if they r gonna finish it by this summer or not.i'm just gonna look for s13 red top bracket, i'm hoping that s13 blacktop bracket is the same.does anyone know?

[27RB240]

There were a few guys on 240sxforums.com claiming that they had made some...It was in the SR20 section and the guy had pics of it and all of that (not sure if this guy owns this shop or not though, but I think he doesn't)..If I run upon it I'll post it

**EDIT**Found it faster than I thought I would..here you go hope it helps...http://www.240sxforums.com/for...acket

hmm, it says on the linked forum, using stock bracket will make a miss alinement on the pully, doe that still work?

[27RB240]

Thats what everyone stated earlier man..If you use the stock bracket w/ KA compressor, two bolts will only line up (I'd call that missalignment if they dont all line up) ....But the guy is making a bracket to use the KA compressor on the SR..Send a PM to the guy or something and see if he is still selling them..Good luck



BTW just keep reading the rest..You'll see where he talks about the bracket and its benifits...

[driftking91]

Do you know of anyone that has had their ka lines welded to their sr compressors?

[Cali_Legal_SR!]
