The FAQ section mentions a Nippondenso 10PA17C as the A/C compressor number but then, there is another mention of a Nippondenso 10PA15C part number.
Do you know which one is the correct one for a '91 NSX?
I found out that these are very commonly used compressors, also used in the Porsche 993, Mitsubishi Pajero and many Mercedes models. Are they all interchangeable?
Thanks guys
 
The car comes from the factory with the 10PA15C. However a 10PA17C can be used. The "15" and "17" denote the displacement of the compressor, i.e. 150cc vs. 170cc. It has been recommended that the "17" is a good choice (thanks Mark Basch:)) if you are converting from R12 to R134a, especially if you are in warmer climates.
