SOHC to DOHC A/C question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've just put in a S13 DOHC into my 89 coupe chassis. I'm trying to hook up the A/C and i've got everything from the 91+ chassis (compressor, condenser, hardlines, etc) the wiring is where I ran into the problem.

The plug that hooks up to the compressor is different between the SOHC/DOHC chassis.

Here's the question...will the A/C setup function properly if I cut the plug off of a 91+ chassis and solder it onto the 89 A/C wiring?

Thanks in advance,

Pablo

The fittings on the lines, from the compressor to firewall are diff. You have, to tig the de line with the sohc fitting.

I think hes talking about the wires. They have diff plugs. sohc is like a square and the dohc one is oval. If the dohc one is one wire just change them out.

Yea...i'm talking about the electrical connector. Just wanted to see if anyone has done it and had problems with it.

Thanks,
