AC condensers

Post by yokomomr4bx »

Hi guys,

Can anyone shed any light on the differences between AC condensers between rev1/2 and rev3+. Aside from the obvious differences in the gas type that was used in the system, are there any mechanical/dimensional differences between the two?

What I'm getting at here is that there are rev1/2 rads available for a mere fraction of the price of a rev3+. And as far as I can see the radiator is simply a heat exchange for the refrigerant gas? So surely any radiator core designed for refrigerant gas could be used?

Any information on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Ed

Check the pipe connection sizes, different between rev2 and rev3+

Yup different connection for the different pipe sizes

I got mine shipped from America via rockauto. Ended up paying more in postage than the radiator itself.

You can get them from US Amazon and ebay also if you find the correct denso part number
