AC compressor

Post by jeff_j1701 »

Hello,

Will the AC compressor for a 2007 Matrix fit in a Vibe?

I have no experience with it but I heard the A/C system is not compatible with Toyota.

I am surprised if the Toyota compressor is not compatible as the engine installation is pretty much the same, here at the middle of the end of the world we often have to adapt bits from something else as parts are simply not available,
My GTM kit car build is intended to have a BL Mini as a donor car for parts, there are no Mini's here, so my Mini hubs are fitted 1.6 Carolla front discs and callipers on all 4 corners,
I wanted to fit an ac as we can have 45c temperatures, Mini's were never factory fitted with ac, I'm not sure what my compressor is off, but it is compact and just squeezes in above the alternator with an adapted pully and its own drive belt.
