I am trying to hook up the ac in my ek, I just put a b18c in but my ac lines don't line up, which ac lines do I need to get?

Deetz

any 97-01 crv bracket, or dohc del sol a/c bracket to mount to the block

B18CivicEJ8

Or you can grab 99-00 Si A/C lines. Those fit perfectly.

Deetz

OP, are you trying to run the b series compressor that came with your swap, or are you reusing your original D compressor?

B18CivicEJ8

It sounds like the former from my interpretation, but I could be wrong... We're both right though, if he's using D, you're right, if he's using B, I'm right.

Yea I'm trying to use a b series ac compressor, my bad. So I guess I gotta hunt down some 00 so ac lines

i've recently done this. here's the rundown

-if you want to use your stock a/c lines and stock a/c compressor, just get a 97-01 CRV a/c bracket ('P7J' if i remember correctly) or B-series vtec del sol and it will hook up the d-series a/c compressor and it will bolt on the b-series block. Works wonders and probably the easiest way to do this

- get a '99-'00 EM1 a/c compressor, any b-series a/c bracket (besides the crv or B-series del sol) and EM1 a/c lines. It'll work with your set up. I know this cuz i've got this setup in my LSVTEC


good luck, mate

Good info.

Not thread jacking, but i have a b16a with the b16a ac bracket on it. can i use all D series also?

Deetz

NO! The "only" two brackets that bolts to b seres blocks and use a d series compressor are the crv and del sol dohc vtec.

The only way to use the B compressor is to change the lines, which i don't think is worth the trouble

EF9_TryMe

definitely good info to know, always learn something new on honda-tech everyday.

But I will only have to change the short line from the top of the condenser to the compressor and the short low pressure line from the compressor right?

From Deetz's pic, you'd need to change 4 and 5. I have personally done this myself. That is what you need to replace to use the B series compressor.

HAMOTORSPORTS sells various AC brackets for B series with D compressors but they're pricey

visit your local junkyard. I got an A/C bracket from a crv for $20.
