Main differences between SUPRA A/C compressor and 1stGen GS
Well, my compressor took a dump by turning really hard to the point that it made the main pulley to pull off of the harmonic balancer, shot forward and disintegrated my fan. All of that is fixed now but since a friend had a MKIV compressor laying around (supposedly it worked), I took it and installed it. The diference that I could notice was the inlet plate for the lines but I swaped this off of my old compressor and that was it. Same conector, same wiring, same specs in the small denso plate... only thing is that the compressor doesen't engage
Are there any internal/electrical differences that I am not aware of?
Now this SUCKING SUCKS because it is my daily driver and temperatures here in tucson AZ already hit the low 100's. And I don't have AC. In a full leather car. today i driVE IN HELLL!!!! it sucks. HELP!!!

You 'could' jumper the relay with some wire with the engine running and a/c on and hopefully the clutch will engage for you. Not sure of the negatives of my plan but I know your pain with the heat. I'd probably risk it.
Edit: better idea is to get a voltage meter and see if there is any power getting to the relay.

yaaaahoooooo!!!!
IT GOT FIXED!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!
This is what it is:
For one, MKIV compressors and our compressors are the same with the exception of the inlet plate. I switched this out of my old compressor. Conector is the same, location is the same with the exception of a ground cable coming out of the fuse box that needs to be relocated to a different bolt of the compressor. Other than that, it is the same. =]
Now, there is an internal switch on the compressor that doesen't let it engage unles there is a bit of charge; vacuum your system and add a little of freon. After that, turn the car on, add the required compressor oil (150 pag, 8 oz) and then add the required freon. Bingo.
To re-charge a system that's not totally empty, u can buy a can with the hose (autozone), conect it to the low pressure side (located in the lower left side of the condenser side) and recharge following the instructions of the can. I tell you, u learn something new every day!!!
