OEM Honda › AC compressor

I had one for seven years and 80k miles and the only problem I had was the A/C compressor. It was two years out of warranty and Honda went 50/50 with me on it. I drove the piss out of it, multiple trips to the redline every day, etc., and it was flawless mechanically and never burned oil or made any unhappy noises.

Pros: flawless mechanically, never burned oil

Cons: weak A/C, high revs

Vehicle: Honda Civic

Mileage: 128747 km

Pros: no problems, works fine

I had searched everywhere and found a lot of stuff but upon doing it myself I felt like I ran across to many questions that could have been answered. This is an age old modification(can it even be called one) but I would like to refresh the memories of those who can't remember and shed some light for those about to do it.

Pros: shed some light

Noise:

So, we picked out a GPD brand compressor from CarID.com, it came in, and he replaced it. I picked the car up, and the AC was working great, but I noticed that when the AC is on, the system makes a very loud noise. It's hard to describe, kind of like a loud rumbling / low screeching. It's pretty loud, and it ramps up with engine RPMs, so I can hear it over the engine even at freeway speeds. My mechanic basically told me that compressors that don't cost a lot make noise. I tried to tell him that it gets louder when I drive faster, but he basically dismissed me, saying that it's normal for cheap air compressors to be this loud. I've been looking over plenty of forum posts from people who have used GPD compressors and never complained about the noise, and though I trust my mechanic, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about this. He advised me to just live with the noise as long as the AC still works, but honestly the noise is so loud I'm not sure I can just 'live with it.'

Pros: AC working great

Cons: very loud noise, rumbling/screeching

Cooling performance:

I ordered the Denso part listed as being compatible after having cross referenced it with Denso's own site along with a new condenser, expansion valve and seals. Receive the order and take it to the shop for installation. They call and say it doesn't fit. The mounting holes on the old one are 133mm apart while the new is 132mm apart. They say the bolt simply won't go in due to it having such small tolerances.

Cons: part does not fit, incorrect dimensions

Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra

My 2016 wrx has an AC compressor fit for a small drawer or shitty wine fridge. In the summer I can have the AC in full blast for the whole ride and the car never cools off. :(

Cons: car never cools off

Vehicle: Subaru
