I wanna buy a 12.8 second turbo eg for $5300, tuned by hondata and all, but not to sure if I shud do so cuz it has no ac. How hard will it be to add the ac? I know I wud hav to put a way smaller manifold right? The turbo is pretty big itself, not sure which one it is, but its almost touching the front end of the car. How much money and what alll shud do the trick?

It will cost you nothing. Extend your left index finger and then apply pressure toward you on the "window down" switch. You have instant A/C. A/C is for girls....and no being in Florida isn't an excuse haha

If you've never built a turbo setup, don't buy someone else's work. That's a headache to step into. If things go wrong and you're new to this, you'll be lost. Hell, I've done a million swaps and a ton of turbo setups for friends, but I can't believe some people's work. It's scary.

Aside from that, did the car have AC originally? If not, you'll have a ton of wiring to do. Normally getting a new harness completely will be the easy route. Then there's the **** under the dash, getting all the parts, etc. Sounds like you'd need a new manifold, downpipe, and at least one charge pipe.

Basically, if you have to ask the question, this project is beyond your ability. Paying someone to do it would cost you an arm and a nut...

^^^Truth. Especially the first paragraph...it's scary.
