DIY A/C Lines

[TeXJ]

The original one I had went toward the back of the motor then down, then forward(to the side of the car). So I just looked until I found a Denso compressor that had both lines that pointed toward the side of the car.

Yeh havent been able to see any others that look to have the same type of fitting as the original e30/M40 compressor.

Update,

I found a Denso compressor on eBay that had the top plate with the correct fittings, both putting up.

Red label 413ecu, is markert on here I assume?

[dude8383]

Could try to reach out to Markert and see if he does OBD1 stuff. What chip did the car come with? You could try contacting them...

[TeXJ]

can I do that from a person here on the forum or is there a better option of buying a reprogrammable chip?

How does one bump the idle? Do I need to do this with a tune/chip? I'm running obd1 red label ecu(413).

If its OBD1 then you'd need to have the chip reflashed.

May need to bump that idle a bit so that it doesn't stall out when coming to a stop. This isn't usually a problem for me because I clutch in very close to idle (around 1000-1100rpm). I rarely coast to a stop in neutral.

Bump, looking for some updated info on this. Just bought a car and will need AC. Going to see if I can find a shop that can make me some.

I found a Denso compressor on eBay that had the top plate with the correct fittings, both putting up.

Then I used the fittings to have custom lines made. Got a guy to look at it as I was getting frustrated with the fittings not fitting flush and he replaced the bolts and now it works.

Now to see why it dies, rev hunts, while coming to a stop with the AC on, and off even.
