JDM a/c drier relocation kit (2 Viewers)

[KimoSabe]

I finally had some time, and cooler weather, where I could test fit some different line options on my 80. Here are the problems we face:
-finding the fittings to be able to build the lines from scratch is cost prohibitive.
-getting the R12 lines new from Toyota is no longer possible.

So here are the two options I can offer:

1) Send me the lines for both an R12 and R134 system and I'll splice (braze) the R134 ends on the R12 lines, add a new Denso drier, o-rings and a new trinary switch to replace the R12 one with specs for R134. Cost for this option is $120. plus freight. You will either need to get a factory bracket or fabricate one to support the drier. This setup is what Kbahus and CycloSteve have for their rigs.

2) Send me your R134 lines, and I use those ends to build a new line from the drier to the condenser. This line is a 1-piece line, rather than a 2-piece like the factory R12 line is. I also build a new section from the switch port to the drier, again using the original R134 fittings. See pictures below and bear in mind I wasn't concerned about making the trial set of lines real pretty. With this setup, you can use the original trinary switch and a 1" shorter drier. You'll need a simple "L" bracket and hose clamp to support the drier. Cost for this option is $189 plus freight and includes the line fabrication, drier and o-rings. A larger than stock battery may not allow enough space for this set-up to fit.

There are bound to be questions, so you can either PM, email or call me (Rex) @ 1-888-438-9534

Option 1 - accomplished ...thanks to Rex

x2 finally got around to finishing this project up...installed over the weekend, and recharged today. Blowing ice-cold air, and no more dangly dryer waiting to be knocked off of by a rock.

and thanks Rex

Still an option?

I had a fender bender and broke the line at the drier that goes to the condenser. I have a 97 and want to know if that line comes with a new drier? It does not appear to be removable.

 

[Coolstream]

That line has a single bolt attaching it to the drier. The other end goes to the condenser. If this is the line you need, I have this used one for $10 plus the ride.

While there are certainly other options for relocating the drier, I may happen to know of a genuine, unused JDM kit for anyone still interested

^^. Does a 97 drier work with this, or is the earlier model a requirement.

 

[Delancy]

When PowderPig was here working on my rig earlier this year he recommended changing the dryer (bought a new shorter one),

What was Robbie's recommendation based on?

What was Robbie's recommendation based on?

R134 one from the factory is too long for the R12 style bracket. Another factor is that once opened, moisture absorption is an issue. The one Rex supplies is the correct length, and is not expensive at all.

Help, please.

Wolrd Pac is showing a Denso product number of 478-0107 and a part number of 88471-16050. This is the one in my truck, although it's sticker says 047810-9010, the picture in World Pac matches the one I have. Hope this helps.

This doesn't seem to line up with the fittings supplied in the JDM Kit Purchased Here and baffled, at this point.

Have 88471-16050 ( drier), but the orientation of the placement pins and bolts don't line up.











According to the local Toyota parts girl, this is the only option ( part number) shown for 91-93.

Where'd I err?

 

[Delancy]

Appears to be identical to the 97, but shorter.

Ask for a drier for a '94+ Camry and it should have the correct pin location and be ~1" shorter.

No joke?

Headed that way.

This has become an expensive affair since the drier I purchased isn't returnable.

Appear to be what I need?

 

[Delancy]

Also, didn't receive any hardware, as depicted in another relocate kit thread.






Anyone know what's in the bag o' bolts?

The Denso # is 478-0503, I'm not familiar with the part # they're using. MOT is probably the guy to ask about what's in the bag-o-bolts.

That part number has been superseded several times, according to parts girl, and she ordered 88471-20050, based on info available.

Should be here tomorrow and will update.

 

[Coolstream]

That 88471-20050 should be the 1" shorter one.

 

[Delancy]

That 88471-20050 should be the 1" shorter one.

And should have the proper orientation for fittings with the JDM kit?

 

[Delancy]

To update, the 88471-20050 does work with the supplied bracket and the fitting orientation.
