A/C mounting problem
I've got a little problem conserning the install of my A/C in my '92 EG6 (with B16A2).
The whole package is nearly mounted execpt for 2 A/C lines that go to the compressor. They don't line up right. When you mount them up in the right holes, they bend wrong.
A friend of mine has a '94 D-series EG. But the lines mount up different on the compressor.
A crappy sketch:

You can see the configuration of the lines.
The relations between the A/C lines (= "leiding" on the drw) and bolts (= "bout" on the drw) are different on both compressors.
I don't know what year my A/C is from (bought it second hand).
So it could be R12 or R134A.
I know the A/C from the D-series is a '94 so R134a -model.
I just know the compressor and mounting lines are different (I can't use these of a D-serie, they don't match up either).
My compressor is a Denso...
I don't have pics right now.
Is there any one that is familiar with this prob??
Thx!!

You have the wrong lines for either the compressor or the condenser, or it is the wrong condenser for the lines you have.
Suction and discharge mounting configuration are different from compressor to compressor, the compressor used in any one MM&Y of car will depend mostly on engine in the car, meaning that the same MM&Y of car will have a diff. compressor for each engine available for that car.
You have 2 choices, either find the lines that will fit, or have an A/C shop make a set of lines that will work, if the fitting are the correct ones, [just oriented wrong] the furls can be cut off, a new hose can be crimped on with fittings in the correct orientation. 94

I thought that what you discribed was the problem, but I wasn't sure.
I did not know that you can cut off the furls and crimp on new hose on. It's just like you said: the lines will fit (same joints) if the orientation is different...
But I don't know where I can get this fixed (I live in Belgium).
Pics of the D-serie ('94):


B-serie pics, not fully mounted (doesn't match up without bending wrong):


Grts!

we are talking about the country in Europe

But I figured out, that the compressor was mounted on a B18C (the seller told me that everthing came from an original B-series EG). So I guess this compressor is from a JDM DC2. The lines will fit the compressor, if you don't connect them to the condensor and the other A/C line.
Thx for the info, I'll try to figure it out further...
