    A/C info s52 e30 obd1 (noob)

    Hey r3v members, just made a account today, because I'm interested in buying a s52 swapped e30 that's for sale on the forum. Doesn't have a/c though, and for anyone who lives in Las Vegas you NEED a/c. Last week there was no day under 103 degrees.

    I tried searching, but didn't find much. For a E30 with a S52 and OBD1 what exactly do I need and need to do for a/c to work? I know I need :

    1) custom lines or the zionsville ones, but it seems they are never in stock
    2) compressor
    3) condensor
    4) switchgear
    5) fan
    6) other miscellaneous stuff?

    Besides those is it just a straightforward install? My main concern is wiring. Will there need to be wiring done? Anyone have a how to?

    Thanks, sorry if that has been covered before.

      Unless somebody went to the trouble of unwiring everything the car prob came with a/c originally and has all the wiring in it.

        As stated, wiring should be good to go, there is one pin you should connect to the AC switch from the dme, I feel like it's pin 60 or something like that....it helps bump up the idle when the compressor is on, otherwise the wiring is all in place.

        On my obd1 s52, I run an e36 compressor on r134. I replaced all the o-rings in the system for r134 as well as got a new condenser, new dryer, and also cleaned all the lines etc. The system performs really well.
