I need to know why your doing a full rebuild for? Cause for some of the parts like pistons for example don't run cheap for a new set. Really if you going to do some na-t conversion or change it to a gte block you might as well buy another engine. The prices on some of those parts are outrageous. The cost of a whole other motor especially nowadays you can score the GTE or GE motors for a good price. The cost or rebuilding it will most likley out way buying another motor. Get back to me on your intentions before I have to look up a parts list. That list will be pretty big and I wouldn't want to waste my time.

I knew that someone couldn't resist saying that. Its not a 7m here lol.
Sholexman I need an A/C compressor cuz mine makes a crazy *** sound when its turned on. I think its the clutch but w.e so I am looking around for a compressor and I have found a couple good ones for a decent price but one is from an Aristo swap and the other is from a 6-speed TT. The compressors look the same BUT the location of the lines that bolt up to it are different. Is is possible to get the compressor and switch the part that the lines bolt up to the compressor ? Hope you know what I mean to me it looks like it almost a plate that can be interchanged could you verify if this is possible?

^^^ Don't you have the the stock block 2jz-ge block ,but going turbo right? I just don't understand why your looking at a Aristo compressor and a GTE compressor? I have to look at a couple photos cause I kinda have a clue what your talking about. Why aren't you looking for a na compressor? Don't turn that compressor on cause the internals from what your telling me are taking a crap. You don't want that thing to lock up and break pieces into your a/c system. If that where to happen you would have numerous blockages in your condensor,receiver dryer,evaporator. Look at car-part.com if your looking for a used one off a stock car. Give me more info and i can possible help you on that in more detail.

I would like to get a NA compressor for my 92 SC but I havent found any for the right price these are decently priced but it has that difference. The one from the supra is pretty close to matching position as my SC (the a/c lines) but the one from the Aristo swap is pretty different but it the same compressor and bolts on the same ???
