3sgte swap with A/C - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #60730 3 posts Started by cyb593
i have a 2nd gen mr2 3sgte swapped into a 1995 st. Now i know you can do anything you want with enough money. what i am asking how cheap would it be to make the a/c work correctly and what parts what i need from what vehicle. thanks
You will need everything from the 5sfe meaning the compressor also, just swap the 3S with the 5S and you should be fine. Regas and done. I havent finish the swap on mine but Ive got everything bolted up. GL

If you got a clip, make sure you snag the A/C Idle Up VSV while you're at it. My car didn't get one when the swap happened, so no idle up with A/C on, which means stalling when pushing clutch in or trying to idle with the A/C on.

I picked up an Idle Up VSV on ebay for $20 and using some tutelage from Art got it plumbed in and simply wired one end to ground and the other to the A/C Compressor power line. Works like a champ now. I CAN get pics if you need to see them.
