Default Would this turbo kit clear my a/c.... pics....

I'm wondering if this kit would clear the a/c compressor. I don't think it will clear the stock fan, but I can swap that for a slim fan.

Here is a pic of what my engine bay looks like now, its a 99 Integra b18b.



Here are pics of the turbo kit I want to put it....




Would it fit?? The turbo is a 14b....
Thanks!!

no your ac fan is in your way and i think your rad fan is to take the ac fan out an get a low profile fan for you rad this should make the room you need

it should fit without much of a problem. As long as you have a 2.5 inch dp.

Thanks everyone,
I'm not worries too worried about th fan, I'll just swap it for a slim one. What about the a/c compressor? Is there room there, its a 14b turbo with 2.5" dp.
Thanks!

looks like you might have trouble w/ the turbo and the a/c compressor. if the manifold had the collector moved over it definately wouldn't be a problem with a slim fan of fan on the front of the rad/condensor.

Is there an easy way to move the collector, I take it no...
You mean get a slim rad fan and put it infront of the rad instead of behind and get a slim fan aswell for the a/c?

Thanks!

well, my dumbass spoke too soon, after looking closer, the ac compressor sticks in to almost the left side of the #4 exhaust mani port. Yours sticks out to the end of it so i would say no. I can email an excellent pic of what im describing if oyu give me your email

my car has the half rad and then the condensor whereas yours has the long rad and the condensor on the front? if that's the case then yes put a slim fan on front and if nec on the back in a push/pull config or just put 1 slim line if it'll work for temps. you'll just have to get another manny because moving the collector really won't be an option unless you're good welder.

You will *NOT* be able to keep AC with this mani.
Look how turbo is moved to the left (driver) side... if it was shifted that ammount to other side (towards co=driver) ti would fit.

This way yr downpipe will hit AC compressor, and there is no place to put downpipe with that mani.

Get a different manifold and it would fit. Personally, I would just put together a different kit.
