OK guys, I'll be swapping a DET into my S13 eventually, and I'm in the throes of all the necessary research. I know that the SOHC (my car is a '90) A/C compressor won't mate to the DET at all; on Heavy Throttle's website they mention that this can be overcome with the use of a custom bracket. I emailed them and they don't sell a bracket like this. Does anyone know if there's a shop that does, or am I going to need to get one fabbed?

TIA

Fab one up

Or
If you get a front clip
use the SR compressor and bracket, cut the connectors of the a/c lines of the clip and have an a/c shop weld those connectors on the KA lines and have them refill the system.

The easiest way is just to go a head and just pick up the compressor from the junk yard, it is about 50 bucks. Then get the ac line custom made; make it a little longer, beacause the stock line is to short(well at leat in mine it was, heat sheild rubbed a hole right in the line). Then BAM you are all set.

Which compressor would I be getting from a junkyard? A DOHC compressor?

Anyone else? If I can find this bracket being sold somewhere it would save me time over trying to have one fabbed...
