VH/VK swap......anyone keep ac? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sup brochachos.......been doing a couple of hours of research on VH/VK swaps and noted some information online about the swap mentioned AC but never provided info on how the AC was retained with the swap (run on sentence anyone). I have very little knowledge on custom AC fittings and such so just checking to see if you fine folks have already figured it out. I would not be opposed to using a custom setup like Sanden but AC is a must off my next swap....I'm getting old and the creature comforts matter.

Cheers

Still havent gotten any info on this but did find out that some companies offer AC with a 1UZ swap. If I cant figure out a rather cheap and logic AC option for the VH I will probably be going 1UZ. Time shall tell.

The lines can be custom made. If you have all the basic components, then it's just a matter of connecting them all with the appropriate fittings. I have a friend who did this for his custom swap, sorry I can't be of more help.

No worries thanks for the info. I have the stock Kouki parts and access to both stock AC components for the VH or 1UZ. I have never looked into getting custom AC components together so I do apologize for being a newb in this realm. My follow up question would be the cost if anyone has any experience. The off the shelf availability of parts for the LSx makes another LSx swap appealing to me. However, I would like to go a different route this time if possible.

there shouldnt be much issues with making ac work. you just need to have custom ends made from your car. have the system charged, and send the required voltage to the compressor for the clutch to kick over on the belt.

easy peasy.
