Nope, im saying that dual cam lines bolt up to a S14 compressor, in an S13, on an SR, thats why I quoted tim when he said this guy needed lines also.

I believe there is a tool for it, but I just tore up the S14 clutch plate removing it since I wasnt removing it, the S13 one cooperated, probably got scared after seeing what I did to the S14 one.

 

ahh I see about the lines.

Nissan specs a specific tool to remove the clutch the, ahem, right way. But, none of the tool loaner places have it. Hell, I bet Lokey doesn't even have one. All I know is a 3-leg puller and a hammer is neither good nor effective! haha

At the end of the day, if you're getting lines made that kind of spoils it. You know how many custom lines I've destroyed over the years? It's not fun. That's why my last 2 itterations used the Codyace brackets.

Yeah, the 2-bolt solution (for qualifying setups) sounds sketchy, but you've got to remember that it was THE way to do it 6-8 years ago. And in that time, I've never heard of anyone having an issue with it. And that's the real test.

 

I know for a fact that an S14 KA comp will not bolt up to an S14 SR bracket. I had to use the SR comp for my A/C swap. I also wasn't "ok" with using just two bolts to secure the AC comp to the side of my engine.

 

Epstein comment on this one, I thought the brackets were all the same on the compressor side and different on the block ? Or is it the other way around.

I know I had a S14 KA compressor bolted to a S13 SR bracket.

 

I am almost certain that the S13 SR bracket is different than the S14 SR's bracket. But, hopefully he'll reply.

 

I know they are different, I just thought I saw him post before that the difference was on the block side, like all sr brackets are the same for the comp to bolt to, but different in that you need the correct one for your block, its very possible its the other way around.

Epstein, what you mean about the lines ? With what I'm referring to you retain stock KADE lines, no custom lines needed.

 

Among SR brackets, there are 2. The redtop and blacktop. S13 Redtop has a redtop bracket. S13 Blacktop has a blacktop bracket. Late S13 with the screwy compressor has the same blacktop bracket. The S14SR bracket is the blacktop as well. These are all interchangeable on the block side. I'm running a redtop bracket on my S14 SR.

I've seen an S13KA compressor on a redtop bracket; the so-called 2-bolt solution. The 2 bolts that don't line up are varying degrees of not-close, IIRC. The S14KA compressor against this redtop bracket is VERY close. I didn't try it, but it looks like a dead bolt on with perfect hole alignment. This "bolt on" ignores the different pulleys that make it actually not work.

I've never seen anything bolt on to a blacktop bracket that wasn't a blacktop compressor.

 

The S14KA compressor on redtop bracket is what I did then, swap the pulley from an S13 KADE compressor, use the S14 bearing from its pulley, bolts on, all 4 bolts and a/c lines boltup.

 

?? when did I say anything about a s14 compressor not fitting a s13 bracket... ?? we were doing that like 5 years ago at xat... i still have like 14414i239283498 clutches still left over from this trick..


my post simply stated that 1989-1990 chassies have really really different lines that do not bolt up to any compressor on the list... you always have to weld when using these lines. those compressors bolt vertically through the bottom and horizontally... through ears... from the front and rear.

Needing DOHC stuff was posted long before your post, so it was very unclear what you were stating wouldnt work.
