Better aircon compressor for an L28/MQ

Post by adam.s »

My a/c hasn't had gas in it for probably 5 years (before I bought it), and I am gunna regas it, which most definetly means new seals.

Now I've read on here before that the original compressors are a bit of a drain on the engine - since I am going to rebuild it anyway, I was thinking should I bother getting one off a different car?

I have a VN commo a/c compressor which I could use.

I am thinking it might just be easier to stick with the standard stuff.

Anyway, it's a thought - any suggestions or comments are welcome.

cheers

Yes the standard ones TAX the 2.8 big time, I would ask a AIR CON. specialist for advise before swaping to some other compressor. I know the air con. in 4 cylinder camries freeze ya ass off, and don't TAX much power in comparison, but I don't think it would be the compressor alone thats going to benefit the rest of the system......Nissan should never have put a sports car motor in a 4WD in the first place..... :twisted:

True.

The air con in camrys is nuts, and that is a little 4 cylinder.

Thanks for that - I will look into it more.
