Zues Marine Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 yeah its a bummer too, most of the sensors and wiring you'd need on the engine side of things are long past the point of salvaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulzy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I bought one of those units and it came along with some sensors and the actuator, It had the inside sensor and an outside sensor and an actuator but i believe i am missing a few parts still :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattlebot Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 that sucks i would have liked how that looked in my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkchopSandwiches Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I heard a legend of somebody making one of these work in a USDM car. The gist of the story was that it took an incredible amount of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattlebot Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 i wonder why they didn't just put these in the usdm cars, electronic hvac controls are normaly more reliable anyway..... no suprise tho considering subaru forgot the turbos on our cars :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit240 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 This was always brought up among the 240SX guys. It's been tried in them as well and it's a royal pain in the ass. I would love to have that though. I miss the auto ac in my Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattlebot Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Wonder what it would take to get one of those to work, zues u mentioned the sensors. Any idea witch ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I just dont see this ever being done; there's issues with the manual heater manifold control that causes it to be incompatible with US cars.. the compressor also runs at different speeds..
