Does anyone have a modern compressor installed in a 914?
If so, I'd love more information on this. I run a shop that specializes in automotive AC systems and my play-toys all have killer ac. https://granburyautoac.com/ I'm planning a 134 conversion that uses a condenser behind the bumper and I need a modern compressor to make this work. The bumper has to be either a fiberglass replacement or something else (space reasons). I'll be using a modified 916 front cap. The square York style needs to "leave the building"... Any suggestions? |

I go new OEM (commonly Denso) and donate all of my cores to Yellow Rose so they have lots of compressors to snag internals out of.
It is usually cheaper to replace a whole compressor nowadays than to install a clutch so a bunch (50%) of my cores are perfectly good. Makes for good relations with your rebuilder when you bring them 2-300 lbs. of decent cores. Yes, I know cheap Chinese clutches are available. I've had too many problems with Chinese stuff to put them on a customer car. Mine own stuff is a different matter... |
