Re: 4KQS Turbo conversion ????

Hello Huw and those who responded:

After looking through some old famly photos, I found out that the AC
compressor and altenators are reversed for the UR-Q, so that the alternator
sits on the turbo side of the engine and the A/C compressor sits where the
alternator is on my car (i.e. in front of the rad). The compressors are
totally different.

I guess one would have to either use the UR-Q compressor (035 260 803G) or the
compressor that comes with your donor motor...

Thanks to all those who responded.

Sincerely yours
