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

boostedcivicsir

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.

EJ8 GSR-T

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?

crxrocks

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.

EJ8 GSR-T

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

EK k kay

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?

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.
