that would be awesome, ac where the ps goes, but then it might interfere with certian manifolds!

Believe me Ive thought about it. But moving the compressor is 10x more difficult than having custom AC lines made. Not only would both upper and lower AC lines have to be custumized to reach the new compressor location, a custom mounting bracket would have to be fabricated. Id need to team up with a good fabricator.

But then I think, wouldn't you rather have power steering than AC? I would.

Usually the compressor has more to do with clearance issues than the AC lines do. This AC line relocation kit just gets them away from the turbo for improved clearance and less fire hazzard.

I just like to fix problems I run into through modifying my own car. Theres alot of voids in our industry. To do what we do used to involve lots of custom fab work, now its all bolt on kits, "turn-key".

And basically I dont like to compromise. Theres no reason why I cant have a 500hp Integra and have cold AC and PS.

Muckman, awesome! You should let me know when you figure something out for the EG's...I'd definately do it! If you were in Atlanta, I'd let you mock up on my car.

At this point Im trying to work out a source for the fittings through Stan.

Im going to wait to see if the DC kit takes off and then I will expand the applications. I have friends with EDs, EGs, EKs, DAs and BBs. So I should have enough test cars to mock it from.

I gotta find out how to get a logo on these. DaX, Ill autograph yours.
