Hmm, maybe. I'll have to take a peek at one of the msm's we have.
if that's the case, that sucker looks a whole lot smaller (and I'm guessing its prob lighter too), might be a cool mod for us NB2 people.
If you need an 01 compressor, I haz one for sale btw. same size/style as the left one

hello impuls you are going to need the matching mazdaspeed compressor A/C bracket in order to fit the smallerMazdaspeed compressor unit in your NB. The compressor pulley in mazdaspeed compressor is about an inch longer therefore it will not align to the crank pulley , trust me on this dude.
I also wanted to look closer into my now returned weird noise. Since I stumbled upon another person with the same issue and he replaced his pinion outer bearing. But the noise comes from the pinion area for sure.
So I put the car up in the air to look at everything and went through the gears
A bit rich on decel and at 2:30 nice pop and the only exciting thing

Looked closer and after going through gears and hearing it start out it in 5th and idle to keep speed.

Shouldn't there be a bolt right under that water pump coolant pipe? I swear there should be a bolt there securing the oil pump if you are missing a/c. might not be your oil pan gasket, but oil leaking from that hole
If you have a/c there, there's generally a bolt there as one of the bolts holding the compressor on.

My 1.8 VVT engine with factory installed oil pump started leaking because I didn't replace that bolt when I removed the AC compressor bracket. Started out very slow but is now coating that corner of the engine quickly. Replacing that bolt is now on my to do list.

For whatever reason something didn't seal or hot blown out when I was trying to start it for 3 weeks straight and when it finally started it leaked.
So there's a lesson there.
I'll be happy if someone can pull anything out of my build. Helping each other is what it's about.
The bolt idea is interesting, I never noticed any oil from there though I'll check though thanks for the heads up.
One question which one are you talking about? The one facing forward on the engine?
I thought my bracket was still on there but I'm guessing that after the machine shop ranked it and what not it disappeared.
