zilvia14 / Jo240sx,

I will get everything ready and list what all I have (again, I removed the entire AC system from my clip) I will try for tonight (whatever my schedule permits).

I will list out each item that I have, but I am wanting to sell most, if not all of it, you know? I know shipping on the compressor is going to suck But I have a _perfect_ shipping container for it!

Do you guys need the brace that holds the compressor to the block (it also has an idler pulley on it)?

Condenser coil?

I know that I have the lines and all of the bolts / nuts are already packaged in sealed baggies and LABELED!

Again, I have the whole setup, including the HVAC unit from the dash and the little sensor from the dash as well.

I just need the compresser (what belt spins) and the fittings all the way to where the hoses end. That should do the job

My motorset came with the RB25 compressor but no fittings for the compressor. I spent awhile trying to source them but no importer would let me have them for a reasonable price. I ended up just using an RB26 compressor and fittings and welded them onto my existing A/C hardlines. Cost me like 80 bucks or so. I would never have done my RB swap if it meant I wouldn't have A/C. You can't live in FL without it. Be warned though, running A/C on the RB25 makes it run SUPER hot (like H20 temps in the 90s C)

Joey,

Do you have the bracket that the compressor mounts to? The compressor does not bolt directly to the block. I'm just wanting to make sure you have this.

Having the condenser in front of the Radiator takes alot of air movement away from the Rad. I used a full bottle of water wetter and still had issues with it getting a little warmer then I liked, but it was only on days where it was 109 degrees out and 100% humidity. If possible I would suggest running one pusher fan on the AC compressor and one puller on the rad. I'm planning on doing this soon. but really with normal air temps around 95 I had no over heating issues at all and my fans are on a 185 degree switch

I'm running FAL 210s (12in x 2) mounted as pullers, a pignose A/C fan as a pusher, Nismo thermostat, a bottle of water wetter and 50/50 coolant, Koyo rad, bumper holes and underbody ducting. I have a 3in thick FMIC though and I know that it really hurts airflow through the rad. Combine that with a hot A/C condenser and the rad just doesn't get enough air to do its job. I have plans to swap out my bumper for one that has better airflow properties but I'm too broke right now to do it.

I'm seeing temps from 75-82C without the A/C, 85-95 with the A/C, spiking to almost 100C when I come to a quick stop after driving with the A/C on for a while. My fans bring it down somewhat quickly though.
