basically right now i have an lsvtec crx built for turbo..got a full turbonetics kit with log style manifold...my question is..can i make a/c work with this?...
if so what do i need to do..right now i have the full length radiator which i understand id have to get the half sized plus thin fal fan or something..do i have to get a different manifold? 3" dp compatible? or do i need 2.5" dp...


also what a/c components do i get..crx a/c then a b series bracket? and whats all included..compression lines condenser anything else im missing..thanks(its really f'ing hot out and i want a/c more then anything..i use to not care as long as the car was fast but im over that shit..comfortable cool(a/c) then fast)

thanks for all the help.

 

nobody knows?!?!?!..ive asked a similiar question before and never got answered. Where's the professionals at?

 

Turbonetics kits are A/C compatible on 92+ civics and 94+ tegs.

Crx's are a whole different story. It definitely can be done, but you won't know what is necessary till you actually start putting things together. My advice would be to get the A/C swap mount and use your d series compressor. You will probably need custom lines made to clear the turbo stuff. You will definitely need slim fans for both the condenser and radiator. You should be able to use the full length radiator if you recirc the dumptube. Probably need to stick to a 2.5" downpipe.

 

thanks man i had a feeling ud chime in with ur fab skills hehe...
so what mount do i use..i know nothin about puttin a/c on the b series in the crx..so im lost i do know i need everything and someone to install it.
thanks for the help...

 

I've done a/c in a ef several ways.

First way was with a stock 90 ls bracket and 90 ls compressor and custom lines. This worked well but we had to notch the cross member to clear the a/c compressor.

Second way is to buy the hasport or HCP a/c mount that adapts the d series compressor to the b series motor. This uses the stock lines and also works well.

In your case I'd say to use the civic compressor and custom mount bracket because it takes up less space. I still think the lines will need to be custom becasue of the routing required to clear the turbo stuff.

 

thanks... how/where do you get custom a/c lines
my plan is to not turbo my car just yet..instead im trying to find a nice clean crx/civic shell and swap my engine/suspension in it...get the a/c going and then get the turbo installed..cuz im hurt on money i think i explained that when i pmed u before..so im trying to get a job n get back up and going..
tried to rep but it said i have to give rep to others before i can rep u again?!?!?

 

Amazon hose is your friend.

 

woohoo..my roommates aunt works there..cost for me..
rep to u..if it lets me

 

Here's a B20Vtec CRX we did. It uses a LHT manifold and 3" down pipe, it also has a full size radiator. It's very tight but can be done.

Here's the link.

now that is BEAUTIFUL...i wish i could afford something like that...
i know ive talked to you before about turbo piping which i know would be done right..and look good..but then id have to have a turbo manifold built as well..do u guys make the b series brackets instead of buying one for the d series compressor?...also like i said if i could have you guys do this..i could get the hoses for the a/c at a discounted price for knowing someone who works there..i might talk to you about this and see what kind of price it would cost..thanks josh..
