I recently did a swap for my friend, his z6 took a crap, so I swapped in a jdm D15b for him, it's his daily driver, and he has a kid, so we kept the a/c(much needed in Florida). The d15b came as a full swap with the compressor and everything so we figured it should be just plug and play, but the ports on the compressor are aligned differently, more of an "L" shape in respect to each other than the "V" shaped configuration on the z6 compressor, which causes the lines to not line up. Also, the port on the condensor seems to be a different size. Does anyone have any input on what is needed here to make this work? I know that just getting the condenser and hoses for the d15b can solve our problem but they are impossible to find and then be sure they are the right ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

more than likely your doner motor came with a compressor for another type of system like R12 vrs R134 you will have less of a problem if you just use the orig compressor that was in the car

It's just the way the lines hook up to the compressor, and attach to the condensor... The original motors compressor held refridgerant as well as a coffee filter. I rigged up some hoses to test it, cutting and splicing the old hoses, and using a ton of rtv to hold them together for a short period of time and determined the new(er) compressor works great. Mostly I'm just trying to figure out which lines I'd need to run them to the condensor without having to twist them like a pretzel to get them to line up. The connection at the condensor I can deal with using a bigger O-ring and what-not.

I know i'm bringing this back from the dead, but exactly which compressor fits the D15b then? or is it universal, or does it have more to do with the car chasis?
