Rb25 / ac

[nissans13]

Can you run a RB25, in a s13 and still have ac?

[punxva]

yes you just have to make it work. there should be a thread about it somewhere here. i do know you need to fabricate lines for it

[ANVIL]

what i would do is keep all my old lines, and any lines that came with my rb and take it to an a/c shop and they can more than likely get it done for you.

WHAT THE !!?

good luck running AC . there is barely enough room in the front for a dam KA rad and you want to run AC ??? just roll down the windows man .

plus getting rid of AC frees up so much power and its definatley noticable .

Yes AC can be done but its goona be easier with a completely aftermarket unit. Try going to your local Hot Rod shops as they are always adding ac to cars with out previous ac. I got quoted around 1100 installed and it wouls have been all custom with anodized brackets and such.

I suppose I'll chime in here since this is what I'm currently working on for several guys and myself. eklips3, stop posting. You're making yourself look like a retard, eh?

The wiring is simple, look on NICO for the "RB--->A/C" thread. Full description there.
The major obstacle is getting the hose ends from the existing R33 chassis to fit on the S13/S14 chassis. To avoid having to go to an A/C shop and have them weld up some ugly ass lines that double back on themselves, I designed and had some compressor blocks machined . These will allow me to assemble lines as a kit. If anyone is interested, drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll put you on the list. I'm looking at having the kit ready to go for the RB25 in an S14 in early May.

Check out the blocks:

Says the 19 year old with 39 posts who joined in 2008. Don't tell anyone else they have no idea or no experience.

A/C condenser sits in front of the radiator. It takes no additional space in the engine bay. If you're racing, switch off the a/c and there's no more parasitic drag on the motor. You're in fucking Canada. Of course you don't need A/C, but people in Florida can't own a car without A/C in the summer. I did for 4 years, and I would never go back.

First thing I did with my SR swap was get the A/C functioning. Haha.

cool thank you everone for the help. the ass from Canada stop being chep. make more power so you can run ac.
