Current Performance A/C Question

CouJoe56 · 07-02-2009, 04:11 AM

ok so you need the sanden 508 sd5 sd7 or w/e u wanna make work with that current performance a/c kit. well the question i have is can you use a sanden 508 from a 1990 4.0 jeep? it is p/n 57580 from advance auto (spent some time when we werent busy looking through the illustrated guide at work) any jeep actually from like 1987-1990.

this question is very inclonclusive but i can think of any other way to word it.

im trying to piece to together my LSx swap soon and im looking around

Does it have the proper mounting like this:

And does it have a 6 rib pulley?
If so, then I don't see why it wouldn't work

i wouldnt screw around. jared's a/c kit looks and functions fantastic.... any miinor differences in the compressor could make the setup not work properly. Basically, for 397 w/ the bracket, it was well worth the money for me

CouJoe56 · 07-03-2009, 03:26 AM

the only question i would have is that it is an R-12 compressor. R134a i kno wont hurt one but will the lines still work?

Is the sanden compressor for the jeep cheaper or something?

I'm not seeing anything cheap about the a/c compressors on the Advance website....

CouJoe56 · 07-04-2009, 01:09 AM

189 on the website but employees get 20% off

Petro · 07-04-2009, 01:24 AM

You would ultimately only be saving a total of $50 rather than just buying the complete kit from CP Wire...And there would be no fitment issues or issues with the refrigerant...

CouJoe56 · 07-04-2009, 01:33 AM

well if i can save a little money then yes. yes i will take that chance. maybe if it was like 5 or 10 but its thats about a tank and a half of gas or an insurance payment for the month. you can blow your money but ill shop around.

no offense to current performance. I have no doubt in your products nor am i disrespecting them

Petro · 07-04-2009, 01:52 AM

I didn't mean any offense man..Just trying to help out...I know what you mean about shopping around...I'm doing it right now...

**Kampz69** · 07-04-2009, 01:46 PM

i wouldnt consider $50 an unreasonable "blowing" of money for something that is guaranteed to work (especially the A/C system)....but thats just me. buying the compressor local would be good if it needed to be returned/serviced/warranteed, however.
