Update a/c compressor
My 1972 911 has factory air conditioning, which has been disconnected at the compressor for years. My plan is to get it working again. I plan to change all the hoses and the evaporator in the left front wheel well. And I plan to change the old York compressor pump to one that is more efficient (and T will definitely work).
So here is my question: as an upgrade to the old OEM York pump, is there a compressor pump that is considered to be the best and most efficient? What are others doing? I remember years ago that people were using Nippondenso pumps. This has not been a thought in my mind for many years, so I have no clue what to do and how to do it. What I want is to have my A/C working as ll as can be expected. Thanks for your advice. |

No need for a new compressor, hoses, or additional condenser - all you need are a couple of SPAL fans and an octanary switch!

I'm in the process of removing my entire A/C system from my 82. It has Sanden rotary compressor. All the components are currently on the car so everything matches.

Sorry to say that some people on the forum have become a bit gun shy on answering A/C questions as they seem to become pointless exchanges of irrelevant information.
I would suggest reading this Porsche 911 Air Conditioning, Porsche 930 Air ConditioningUpgrade Updates,Improvements. The upgrade route is not a cheap one and perhaps you can pick and choose what you want to do. Will you be performing these repairs/modifications yourself or be using a shop to do the work for you? Here is another couple of links Porsche Air Conditioning Upgrade & Full Kits RennAire Porsche 911 Air Conditioning Products Kuel (Griffith) is a member on this board who tries to help out everyone, even those who didn't purchase their system from his company! He may chime in an help out on this thread. Good luck with your project!
