AkumaNoZeta Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 How hard is it to make an AC system while swapping in the SR20. The AC was already stripped from my car when I got it, what kind of problems would that cause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 First off you need to make a bracket for the a/c compressor. In the stock position the a/c compressor has clearance issues with the steering arm(or rack?). Or if you can try smaller, aftermarket compressors that might be able to make clearance. I will eventually do it, probably when next summer rolls around and everything else is done on my car. Once you get the a/c compressor mounted, you can go the Vintage Air route, which is a good amount stronger than the stock setup, and a bit cheaper if you were to buy it all brand new. Do a search on that part, it's been done before by quite a few members here, and you can find exactly how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKLR Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I know this is a older thread but i never found the solution to running AC with this set-up. I'm planning on doing this conversion very soon on my 75 Z. I did a fair amount of looking through the threads and have not seen anyone running AC on a SR conversion. Anyone out there running AC on a SR20 swap?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Maybe someone who lives in Atlanta? Or Eastern Washington? Or anywhere else where the temperature is frequently above 90 degrees and intends to drive their car more than on the weekends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKLR Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'd like to get some measurements from someone that has the conversion done. I'd like to know the distance of the engine/head to firewall about 8" below the throttle pivot bracket. I also heard of someone locally who swapped the SX subframe and all. That would cure the compressor clearance issue. I have a phone number to contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True School 240Z Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 AC would be good for me as i still have exhaust coming into the cabin with the windows down. I always smell like gasoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKLR Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I just got my S14 engine today. After looking at everything AC looks within reach. The factory mounting bracket is heavy so another bracket might be an improvement. I probably wont get around to fooling with it till early next year.
