Well, remember that the Vanagon compressor has an electric clutch. I assume
that the Sub compressor (has an electric clutch too, right?) will have to be
mated properly to the Vanagon control electronics (same switching levels,
polarities etc) for it to work properly.
I suggest that before you pull apart the Sub compressor, you use a voltmeter
and measure the engage and release voltages on the compressor clutch, (and
actually, on the existing Vanagon compressor clutch, too!).
Then, it should be a simple matter for us Engineers to devise a voltage
translation circuit, if needed.
Otherwise, I cannot help but think that a compressor is a compressor. (But
that's really just a statement of ignorance, isn't it)
YMMV

Hello
Last week I purchased a '92 Legacy 2.2 with both PS and AC. I also ordered
the KEP conversion kit. I would like to use the Subaru compressor to run
the
AC in my 87 Wolfy. The compressor on the Subaru engine looks rather small
compared to the one on my Vanagon.
Do the AC hoses in the van simply connect to the stock Subaru compressor?
Is
it that simple to connect? I realize the system will need to be converted
and serviced once it is connected.
Is there anyone in the Boston area who has done a conversion? I would like
to see one, if possible, before I actually start mine.
Thanks
Gary
