That is 100% MANA, no question.

Video overview is posted here:

Line Kit is available here:
DENSO Evaporator - https://jp3motorsports.com/products/...76284de9&_ss=r
MANA Evaporator - https://jp3motorsports.com/products/...76284de9&_ss=r

RX8 Condenser brackets to attach the RX8 condenser to the Greddy Vmount radiator:

That is pretty awesome.

Are you considering making lines for RX7 condenser with the MANA system?

We have no immediate plans to make any kits using the OEM condenser. It would make more sense to use the RX8 condenser and compressor with our lines as they were made for r134a. We have a bracket kit which will mount an RX8 condenser to the OEM / OEM replacement (ie. Koyo, Mishimoto, etc) radiator (in either stock or FMIC orientation). This will be released soon along with the AC line kits for these configurations.

Is the MANA system expansion valve still available or is the Four Seasons 39054 expansion valve the go-to? Are other/better options available?

What are the currently available options for MANA A/C Receiver/Dryer replacements?

Specifically, I'm looking for an aftermarket replacement receiver/dryer for my '95 MANA system (Mazda part FD31-61-500), which has been NLA for some time.

Can anyone verify that it is the same size and has the same port arrangement as the '94 MANA part (for R12)?

Is it safe to assume that any aftermarket unit that fits the stock system and is compatible with R134 will work?

You might want to talk soon with Tomsn16. He has a mana based system from a 1995 for sale at the moment.

JP3 has some great Youtube videos breaking down the AC system. There is a good bit of difference when Mazda went to 134a in 95.

Those videos are a GOLD reference to the FD's AC system. Even if you aren't going with one of their line kits they show the difference in part variations.
