[tony96240sx]

ok a friend of mines is putting a redtop sr20det engine in his 92 s13 240..do the lines from the KA engine line up with the sr AC? how can we make the ac work? thanks guys

Can either reused the KA compressor or cut and splice in the SR AC lines into the KA ones...

wait so i can use the ka one..with what mods?

You have to use the KA bracket, iirc, 2 or 3 of the 4 bolts will bolt up to the SR.

he said he tried doing that but the ac compressor from the ka sits crooked and doesnt line up with the belts...now he is having problems with that and the driveshaft..can he use the same driveshaft froma 92.?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Drive shaft should work, he just gotta knock the tranny boot off.

well if that dont work, Codyace has a groupbuy for spacers to fit the KA brackets and belt. Basically bolt the KA bracket, compressor and have everything line up properly...

throw some washers on the compressor. it will line up.

+rep he's right, you should be able to space it back a bit and get 3 bolts to line up. If you just use two, I could see a problem bucking belts

or, for $100-something buy the spacer and do it right and have all the bolts line up.

If it's a redtop 3 of the compressor bolts will line up. That's all you need. You don't even need to disconnect the a/c so you don't need to discharge it either.
