York Compressor + 22R?

[84Toyota4x4]

So, any sites for mounting these suckers to a 22R? I think I'm gonna go source one out now that I've seen how crazy well they work in person, but I'm curious as to how they're being mounted on Toyota engines - or are they not? I only have a water pump, alt, and a PS pump so Ive got lots of room, but I want to see some ideas. I figure with the stock block having so many mounting holes and so on, it shouldn't be TOO hard, but Id like to see someones setup :corn:

Why the york? The toy A/C puts out more than enough air two run a 1/2 air gun wide open @ 1800 rpms and it bolts right up. Ya the york is self oiling, but I ran the toy pump for two years oiled it one time. When it was installed

Air

I have ran both and either way will work but I'd rather have the York. You will have to fab up some brakets for the york which is a disadvantage but worth it. Depending on the type of york you get and there are several styles. They range from 6 to 10 cubic inches the bigger the number the more the air. And left or right discharge depending on which way the compressor is mounted. Also make sure to get the amc style hose connectors to keep the pump as low profile as possible if you decide to mount it straight up and down. If you go looking for one be sure to check the tag to help identify the style. They can be found on many vehicles from AMCs, Fords, Volvos, Porsches, International Harvesters, and Oldsmobiles in the '70's and early '80's. I have found that the Volvo's seem to have the bigger of the 3 different sizes avail. Hope this helps and good luck.

Because I dont have AC now, and I figure if Im gonna go looking for an AC pump and brackets and crap, I might as well get the York, especially since theyre in so many more vehicles, it doesnt limit me to only finding the crap in a Toyota.

I have ac in my runner and mine mounts were the ac used to be and then my ac pump was mounted on a bracket above the york. Worked great never had a problem with it and it looks really clean this way too. Sorry I dont have pics though.

Well, I got a York 210 today, along with the bracket for it, and I think I have an idea as to mounting it, so I guess Ill just stumble through this on my own, haha. Thanks anyway guys!

I did some research on mounting one to my 2.7L and keeping the A/C with no luck. Most that have done it make all the brackets. There was a good article on Pirate that I have bookmarked at work......little good that does now.

I always wondered how hard it would be to modify something from here http://www.kilbyenterprises.com/ to work.

 

[84Toyota4x4]

I wouldn't buy anything from Kilby, too damn expensive. Actually, I cant say that because I'm buying their intake filter, and the York flange adapters.

Anyway, like I said, I found an article about mounting it, and its funny because the guy modifies the stock bracket almost exactly how I told my girlfriend I was thinking it would work as we were standing in line to pay for the compressor at the junk yard, haha.

I priced out a bunch of crap, and so far Im a little under $250 for all the bits and pieces I want such as:

50 Feet 3/8" Hose (and misc fittings)
Air Regulator (w/Gauge)
Oil/Water Seperator
5 Gallon 4 Port Tank
110/145 Pressure Switch
160 PSI Dual Needle Black Face
Unloader
Safety Valve
York Flange Fittings
Intake Filter

I plan to run a switch for on/off/auto in the cab, along with the dual needle gauge which will monitor both the regulated PSI as well as tank PSI at the same time. The regulator will be mounted under the hood, and it has a gauge built into the knob so you can see the pressure as you adjust it. Tank pressure will be regulated between 110 and 145 PSI by the pressure switch, the safety valve will open at 150 PSI (hopefully never needed, lol), and the gauges are all 0-160 PSI. Should be a sweet little setup when Im done.

Stock bracket, plate bolted to it, weld on a 1" chunk of 2x4 or other similar rectangle tube that will fit within both bolt patterns, another plate welded to that to fit the york, and bolt'er on! Really not that difficult, hardest part would be getting it lined up and having a friend hold it in place while you tack solves that issue. Somewhere there was a really good drawing with all the dimensions you need but I can't find it...

Take some pics when you start making the bracket/s and get everything mounted up if you wouldn't mind....

Well, heres the York I picked up from the junk yard. The A/C system was still charged, so that was a bit of a shock to me. Not as in "startled me" shock, but I thought they had to recover that crap before putting the cars out? As I was cutting the hose, I heard it starting to leak, so I just stood back and let the refrigerant vent out (unfortunately) so I wouldnt breathe it all in. That crap is nasty, I know from doing A/C work at work before. I guess in a way its good to know it was still holding pressure after 20 something years, I know the compressor doesn't leak then. I turned it by hand, and it builds enough pressure after about two turns that I can barely keep my finger over the end of the hose and keep turning it because it gets so hard to turn or will force your finger off. I also checked the clutch, and it worked perfectly.

Heres the tag, you can see the part number makes it a 210, the largest displacement. I can get about two or three more if anyone is interested. $40 each if you want one.

Heres a picture of the bracket that held it to the engine. Those bushing mounts were for the power steering pump which mounted on top of the A/C compressor. The A/C compressor "hung" out the bottom of the bracket. The triangular side bolted to the engine block.

These are the holes in the block that I'm looking at using. I haven't decided which ones yet, but there are plenty of choices. I can even pull those spacers out from under the motor mount (the stock spacers because I dont have A/C) and use those bolts as well.

Last but not least, this is how I plan on trying to get the thing to sit in there. Im just holding it/resting it in there right now, but you get the idea of where its gonna sit. Should work out well. Now I just have to work out the bracket building.

We shall see how it works out from here!

I LIKE IT!!!! now you do know there are copyright laws on the CAD file i gave you:flipoff:

Haha, riiiight

[crash2]

I have ran both styles of toy a/c compressor (the 4 runner ones are a tad longer and use a different mounting bracket) and a yokr. I am running a 210 now and will NEVER ever go back. The toy compressors will only last a year or so and thats with even me running an oil return setup that I designed. But you can never go wrong with a york but if you run toy efi it gets tight...

 

[84Toyota4x4]

Well, it turns out that trying to plan to build brackets is probably more stressful than actually just trying to make it work...

I've been sitting here for the past while trying to draw out how I want my brackets to work, so on and so fourth, but Im not getting very far. Mainly because Im starting to realize that I dont have the tools I need to build anything too custom anyway.

Im going back and forth between a mounting system that pivots the whole compressor to tension the belt (think alternator setup), or a setup that incorporates a screw-style tensioner I have laying around (stock PS tensioner).

I think its on hold for a little while until I get the whole truck to the shop where the steel and welders are so I can start forming and so on because I just cant draw it, haha.

TJ, seriously, pick up a stock A/C bracket and it's dirt simple to adapt the york onto it. It'll also give you the tensioner so you don't have to worry about fabbing that part. Why reinvent the wheel?

ME!!!! I'll take one. That one looks to be in damn good shape. For 40 bucks, ****, hook me up... PM sent.

yUP---as shane said and I have a templet for them someplace in my template box..

Yeah, I actually came to this conclusion late last night talking with Aaron. I really wanted to come up with a good way that DOESNT use stock brackets so that more people could do it easier if they don't have any brackets to start with (like me). But, it looks like Im gonna head back to the junk yard and hunt down an A/C bracket. I like that way a lot better than the smog pump bracket method I saw.

Just for kicks I called Toyota and they want $70 for a brand new bracket, although I don't know if it comes with the tensioner pulley and everything already installed on it, or if thats just the bare bracket. Anyway, that plus some money for an adapter plate and Id be right about the price for Kilby's stuff, haha.

I think Im just gonna head back to the junk yard today or something and try and locate some A/C brackets. If I can find them, I might grab a couple since Ashleys 4Runner might want OBA someday too, lol.
