Arrow RX-8 A/C conversion with JP3 Motorsports kit

Finally, I'm able to install the A/C parts from JP3 Motorsports. Who doesn't like their parts, customer services, and STICKERS!! This video will show you the process of how to upgrade the A/C system on your 30 yrs+ RX-7 with a more efficient R134a utilizing RX-8 compressor and condenser. JP3 Motorsports kit make it even easier to install and everything is tucked and clean.
This video was due 2 years ago. After falling into a rabbit hole and so many dissapointments, the rx-7 will finally have a more efficient A/C system. I hope this video will help or will jelp you decide if you were thinking of going this route.

I just want to add for future forum members that you can upgrade the pulley so you can utilize all the ribs in your system

Thanks. I think it's a must. It gives me anxiety to seeing that the belt doesn't match the power steering pulley. 😅

You post great videos, I laughed so hard at your “short” about removing the rear bumper.

ive got to figure out a way to get that rx8 compressor mounted to the LS, this will probably be the easiest route to take when I finally get my car back together.

thank you!! 😅
I don't know when the compressor is located on the LS but I guess you can try to get a billet spacer made. it will depend on how much room so you still have to play with.

Hey, I think I found who can help you with the AC. The guy who's welding my charge pipes does LS swaps. He also does custom AC lines. PM me for his info!
