Default b series A/C swap on civic

i have heard by using the del sol ac bracket, i can still keep using the whole d series ac set up for the b series swap in a eg civic.
the question is, which ac belt do i use? the b series or d series?

Dont use either. A/C is for the weak.

i'm pretty sure you can use the d seeries belt, i'm using the b sreies bracket and only have two bolts going into the d series a/c compressior and every thing lines up and seems to be holding up well. and bels still in good shape

The CRV bracket (P7J) works, and cheaper i believe. You use the DOHC Del Sol belt. Its like right in the middle of the 2.

A/c is for those who like to drive comfortably and not get to work with a sweaty back.



You'll need the del sol ac bracket, and the B-series a/c components. D-series fan will work.

But I guess the d-series a/c compression/belt will work according to the above guy.

if u have the complete system and have to charge it anyways use all the d series stuff and use the b series a/c compressior it should be able to work together, the way the comprsior mounts is alittle bit different between the two

so its either...

1) Use the d-series compressor with a Del Sol AC bracket, or

2) Use a b-series compressor with any b-series bracket?

...i dont want to have to buy another compressor as I already have the d-series compressor..

...sorry for hi-jacking this thread

If your going to use a B series compressor i believe youll need to change the lines for B series. Easiest thing to do is get either the Del Sol or CRV bracket and reuse your D compressor.

If you use a B series compressor your going to need an integra AC bracket.

If im using a D compressor, do I need a AC bracket from a D-series Del Sol? Or B-series Del Sol?
