Mazda RX7 FD3S 13B-REW AC Line Kit for Greddy Vmount (LHD)

Did you or the previous owner of your FD remove or disable the AC system to pursue more horsepower, reduce weight, or just to look cool?? Well, we all know that being hot and sweaty in an FD is definitely not cool these days? (Pun intended).

This exclusive and only kit on the market retrofits AC back into FD RX7's specifically with the Greddy Vmount IC kits. This kit is intended to work with the use of readily available RX8 AC compressors and condensers. The AC lines/fittings will work with or without the OEM ABS pump installed.

Our line kit replaces all the OEM lines, dryer, binary switch sensor, and ports. The only OEM FD part required in the in-dash evaporator. We have two kits available for LHD FDs running the Greddy vmount - only difference is what evaporator you are running (in dash); see photos on the website for how to determine whether you have a DENSO or MANA evaporator.


Product feature list:
  • CNC machined aluminum adaptor brackets to mount the RX8 compressor to OEM compressor mount on a 13B-REW engine
  • Plug and play harness for RX8 compressor to OEM body harness connector
  • Plug and play harness for binary pressure switch to OEM body harness connector
  • Binary pressure switch
  • R134a rated o-rings
  • 30mL bottle of Nylog Blue o-ring lubricant/sealant
  • Stainless steel hardware
  • P-clamps and zip ties
  • AC lines with high and low ports with caps located in the same location as OEM AC lines; lines wrapped with high temp sleeving on sections adjacent to turbo area
Disclaimers: kit does not include RX8 (2004-2011) AC compressor or condenser which are needed for AC line kit to work as intended.

These lines require 2-3 weeks assembly time. For those that have the JP3 front tow hook, we are looking for a solution to allow for use of the tow hook with the placement of the condenser/lines.

RX8 condenser mounting brackets are required for this kit to work as intended but are sold separately: https://jp3motorsports.com/products/...1614c0f3&_ss=r

We recommend replacing the OEM expansion valve and o-rings in the evaporator prior to installing kit to avoid any potential leaks.

Recommended belts:
  • OEM pulleys: 4PK1015
  • Underdrive Main Crank Pulley (Banzai): 4PK1005

Pretty sure I'm going to order some parts for my setup.

Where is everyone getting the compressor and condenser?

Just for reference, I bought the UAC Compressor and a GPD condenser for my RX-8 AC conversion.
