Using an 88 with 22re for a swap to a 97 runner motor.

Wondering if the ac compressor clutch and pulley will interchange with the 97 compressor? I know that the 3.0 will I've never worked on 22re stuff so I have zero experience on this.

Radiator is still installed so I can't see in there very well and I won't have a chance to get into it for a couple more days but just wanted to know what I need to source, or it's going to be able to be swapped over easily.

The bearings in the pulleys are completely different between the two in my 88. The compressor will have a stud and nut on the clutch instead of a bolt that the V6 and 89+ 22re compressors have. I think that Toyota mixed and matched quite a bit on the a/c stuff-it was all installed in the US.

I've just bought all the hoses to use a 95+ compressor and it gets pretty spendy. I've got part numbers if you'd like them. You basically have to get compressor suction/discharge hoses from an 1988 3.0 V6.

22re stuff is all new for me so anything you can post up about this would be helpful.

Here the 22re compressor.

Yep, that's the same compressor as mine. The pulleys are not interchangeable. Nor are the valves on top of the compressor, this compressor has a two piece design while the other compressor is one piece.

The only option that I know you have is to get the suction/discharge hoses from a 1988 v6 truck/4runner.

As I said in my previous post, I just bought all of this stuff. It hasn't arrived. Once I have everything hooked up and working I'll report back. Maybe next week sometime.

EDIT:

Another option that I forgot to mention is having custom hoses made. Any a/c shop capable of making metric compression/union and block fittings should be able to make something so you can use the 97 compressor. This could be potentially as expensive as what I done-both hoses were ~$130 total.

My O'Reilly store will install new ends onto my hoses for $5 a hose as long as I have the ends I need and have it clocked and marked the way I want it. Saved me from replacing already brand new hoses when I swapped all my 94 parts into a 89 pickup. The 134a and R12 fittings into the evaporator and condenser are different.

wickedlester

Yep that's pretty much what I have to do. Only hoses <=88 (and probably 89 4runner) are going to fit the evaporator. I've got new hoses and will just have 1995+ block fittings welded on the compressor side ends. Easiest way to go.

If you could find hoses and compressor off a 88 4runner/truck with a 3VZE that'd work too. Same truck, same evaporator. I believe the discharge condenser side fitting also changes after 88.

I used the 3.4 compressor that was on the engine and just had two hoses made for $45 each. Everything else was original 88 parts. I had already converted to R134A though.


I also wired in the A/C amplifier from my 99 4Runner donor so the ECM could control the clutch and idle speed. I'll dig up some pics.

I just tried to upload my pics from image shack but I can't load large images anymore without paying. I posted all this under "3.4 in my 88, no body lift hood closes"


I basically cut the ends off the stock 88 hoses at the compressor and slid the hoses over the hose barbs I cut off the 99 Runner lines. All I needed was the ends crimped on and test ports added to the lines. It was really easy and pretty cheap.


I posted all the pics. Sorry I'm not as computer savvy as I should be or I would post the link.

I just have the clutch wired in for now. Engine definitely isn't idling up like it should but it works.

there's a 3.4 a/c thread for idle up

yep , I have used the 3.4 compressor on 2 - 22RE swaps now .. just had new A/C hoses made

Braydon

what is the part number for that compressor?

7 years old I doubt you get an answer you might get lucky.

Just what compressor do you need?
