What's up guys! I couldn't take the heat in Texas and I was going to give the Mugen to a shop but they wanted $1100-$3000! So I took matters into my own hand!

I replaced my ac compressor today using this video as reference. I didn’t have to take off the alternator though, there was plenty of room when you remove the radiator fan.

This is the best tutorial out there, and most accurate to how it should be done. The only thing different is you don't have to remove the alternator, it was still easy to reach the bolts on the compressor and fish out.

Hey Great Video! is your AC still working great? Would you recommend the brand? Thx

@shankoem 26 күн бұрын

AC works great still! And 100%, denso is owned by Toyota. It’s a very good brand a lot of our OEM parts are denso

Was your ac blowing hot or just not cold? Got an 06 and the air is cool but not cold. Thinking im gonna try the same

Hmm did you checked the condenser if it was oily? On my car was the condenser that was leaking refrigerant. And a condenser is cheaper than buying a whole compresor

Yeah my compressor had a electrical failure; 2 years later and still going strong

@blackhouse7646 Жыл бұрын

Why did you take the oil out of the new compressor and put less?

@shankysachdev9413 Жыл бұрын

Because I didn’t change the condenser and other parts of the system, there will be oil throughout the system. So I measured what was in the broken compressor and added that same amount to the new compressor!

quick question @shankoem hows your ac compressors holding up?

@shankoem Жыл бұрын

It’s good man no issues

@maycare2025 11 ай бұрын

what is the problem if the manifold does not go to negative in Hg pressure after vaccuming the brand new ac compressor. It stay on only zero pressure after 45 - 60 mins vacuum. Is there somewhere leak on the a/c system? Need your advice to fix it. Thanks

@shankoem 11 ай бұрын

Hey! Definitely sounds like you have a leak somewhere! You’re not going to like my answer but the best way to identify your leak is to fill the system with Freon with a leak detection dye. Once it leaks out you’ll be able to see where the leak is with a blue light.

Sorry maybe I missed it in the video but did you say a rough estimate of price for all the parts and tools needed?

@shankoem Жыл бұрын

Hey! The compressor is $300 from Amazon, you also need the gasket kit which runs about $10. Freon was about $30-$40. Can’t really give a price on tools as they are stuff I’ve collected over time. But you can rent a lot of things from local parts stores.

I replaced my ac compresor on my civic si 2007 sedan (denso). Every time I give some gas ( rev around 1500 and above) in neutral with the ac on, the ac compresor clutch clicks, like engaged again. Is that normal? It blows cold.

@shankoem Жыл бұрын

Is it not engaging if you don’t give gas?

@nitsuc6508 Жыл бұрын

If I don’t give gas, it engages. still work as normal, blows cold. But as soon as as give gas or rev like it start cycle again cuz I hear the cluch click. It doesn’t do that when the ac Is off. Help me bro 😢
