What a/c compressor do i have??
Ok, so I have a dilemma. My mechanic told me I have a leak in my compressor. Ok, so I take mine off and go to O'reillys to match them up, AND they don't match! I called a few other auto part stores and they're pictures are the same setup as O'reillys. Sooo, I'm thinking i have different compressor or something??
So this mine.
This is pretty much where my A/C lines go.
And this is the new one and where it's A/C lines go.
Any help would be awesome. I tried searching but all that came up were how to recharge your system or weight reduction related searches. But thanks in advance!!

your pics dont show up for me
there were 2 compressors, If memory serves me right one has the lines together and one the lines bolt on separate.
here I searched for you:

the sanden units had a single bulkhead connector for the high and low pressure lines, the nippondenso had 2 separate connections at the compressor.
if the car is an early car and has 2 separate lines to the compressor with threaded nut fittings then a denso will drop in, if it has both lines formed into a single connection then you will need to figure out which series sanden you need.
the condenser and evap fittings should work with either compressor+line set you get, if there are no hardlines in the engine bay to the compressor you can just buy a matched set but you will have to notch the bracket if it was for a sanden to make a denso unit fit(did this on my girlfriend's car since her compressor seized up and used an early S4 pump on hers, the denso works better for R134a conversions anyways).

nippondenso and what i call the sanden type 2 compressor. the type 2 was usually found on series 5 cars but sometimes you can find a type 1 on the early series 5. https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...essors-948060/

My bad about that. I'm still learning how to use the site. Here's them again. And I hope they stay this time
So this mine.
This is pretty much where my A/C lines go.
And this is the new one and where it's A/C lines go.
I do not know how to multi quote as of this moment so I'm just gonna do this:
Husky: Thanks for the link. Looks great! although I can't really tell where the A/C lines go. Maybe I can talk to somebody on that site to confirm this for me!
RotaryEvolution: Great info. Wish I could have pulled that up but oh wells. Now I just have to research to find the "Nipple Denso"

On another note, anybody know where to buy a Nioppodenso compressor? All I've seen are the Sanden types. I'm waiting for this local AC shop to open up so that I can ask them whether or not they can just rebuild the damn thing!

Ok, so I finally got a chance to talk with a Local A/C specialist shop here in Dallas and from our conversation, he says that The Nippondenso 10P15C from the RX7 may the same ones they use for the Toyota 4runner. I've also looked at some on Ebay, and they look very similar. Does anybody know or tried this to see if it's true? I will be purchasing one in the future to confirm this will work or not.

Although I have limited knowledge on the subject, I do know our compressors were used on other vehicles.
Good replies here. Also, a member here, jackchild## (don't know the ## part, maybe 51?) knows A/C stuff well. Just gotta find him. Don't think he posted here yet.
edit: jackhild59...send him a pm.

i would be concerned about the mount points if it wasn't made for the RX7, plenty of the universal ones i see have vertical mount holes where the FC RX7 mounts through the side.
the older RX7s along with REPU, cosmo, 2,3 and 4 had the universal vertical mount holes since A/C was considered a luxury option and the kits looked like they were almost completely aftermarket.
reconditioned Denso a/c pumps seem to be nonexistent, which sucks. both sanden types are fairly prevalent in the parts catalogues. you can always buy the S5 A/C and P/S bracket along with the high and low side lines and convert it if it came to that. the S4 bracket might even accept it but i don't recall if the pilot holes(unthreaded) will line up.

Which manifold do you speak of?? But I think if I the compressor on the 4runner is a direct fitment, than I rather do that. It's just easier. But if it doesn't, then I will definitely look into a plan B.
