Removing AC condensor from AE92 4AGE

[fuzzilogyc]

Hey guys,

I've taken all the A/C stuff out of my 91 AE92 fxgt except the condensor(?) that runs off the power steer belt. The reason i can't take the condensor off is because the belt tensioner tensioner bracket is mounted to the AC condensor. Has anyone else had this problem? Or got any ideas? Cheers

have a search of the forum. has been discussed on several occasions. typicaly, some have rigged up a new pully to replace the ac unit

Thats the pump aswell, will help with your searches.

But yes, you need to make a bracket.

Is the pump in good condition? If it is I would be keen to grab it off you.

[fuzzilogyc]

Won't be able to take the pump off unless i get a bracket made it seems....

[ants_ae92]

Most likely you will need to make up some sort of bracket or adjustment with the PS pump to make adjustment.

I removed the aircon when I put in my smallport motor. I made up a bracket to use with the PS pump so that would provide the tension for the belt.

[fuzzilogyc]

How did you make the bracket? Might be interested if you want to make another one

same here actually.. could do one myself tho i guess but might be easier to just buy one

cheers

[fuzzilogyc]

haha yeah, i don't think its the type of thing you can "buy off the shelf"

[Ae92typeX]

think he means to buy from you

[big_boy]

isent he trying to buy 1 to start with

[fuzzilogyc]

isent he trying to buy 1 to start with

yes, thats right

[big_boy]

iv accually made 2 before but i dont have any thing here for a template now but if you wanted to send me your pump i could make you one off it for a price iv got every thing here to do it except a template they take about 2-3hrs to make one if you make a good job & thers about $55 of parts needed foom memory

[fuzzilogyc]

send pump down to dunedin = no car for a long time == no no

thanks for your offer tho

[big_boy]

um probly about 5 days if you work out 2days to get here 1 for me to work on it & 2 days to get home

[Mr Revhead]

have a look at pick a part
i think you can adapt a 4afe pulley to fit.
sending the pump away and spending $70ish bucks prob isnt the best option!

[fuzzilogyc]

"adapt"? does that involve a lot of chopping and welding? and yeah, not keen at all to send pump away cos i need my car

[Mr Revhead]

ok, you have 2 options

make something fit yourself

pay some one to make one for you

there is no off the shelf option

im currantly looking at it for a mate, i think modyfing an idler off something else is the best way to go, how ever due to time i wont be experimenting for another few weeks yet

[fuzzilogyc]

yeah i realise that i'll need to have something made whether by myself, or by someone else. its just i'm not keen to do it myself if its going to require a lot of work.... if its a simple job like grabbing an idler off some other car at pick a part and just chopping bits off, then sweet....

[Mr Revhead]

if could well be.
i reckon i can get something to fit with no more than a little drilling.
but i cant get to pick a part for about 2 weeks, so i cant look into it further untill then
