So im puttin on my turbo today, custom log mani, and dsm t25 ....i cant see how the hell ac is gonns stay? but the makers of the manifold said no prob....any ideas anyone?

 

bump

 

Never seen a log manifold that wont allow you to retain a/c

 

its just the turbo really dosnt fit....i dont know what todo haha and its just a dsm t25

 

did you try to mount it 180 degrees side to side? like swap the compressor side to the opposite side? we had a customer manage to put a turbo on a drag manifold backwards, it looked hideous but it worked, just a thought.

 

tried everything, normally do you haveta get like slim ac/radiator fans or anything? anyone have any pics of their turbo d with a/c?

 

Yes, you will need slimline fans at least in a CRX.

 

do some people take out the ac fan? would the ac still work?

 

You can take it out, but I wouldnt run the AC without the fan. It will eventually mess up the compressor. I might be taking the AC fan out of my 99 civic for turbo purposes, but I'm going to pull the fuse for the AC so I never accidentally use it.

 

well **** haha i just cant figure out how the heck to make the turbo fit in there

 

Maybe snap a picture of how it doesn't fit?

 

I took out the AC fan, and wired a slimfan (Pepboys special) on the other side of the frame. It was really easy -- just had to cut off the plug from the AC fan and splice to the 2 wires from the new fan. Don't know if it's the most efficient setup, but my AC is still plenty cold.

 

What year is your civic?

 

it looks like a 99-00 si

 

depends on who designed it. i can make it fit. D series have an even smaller space to work with and i made it happen.

 

mine is a 98
