Is it possible to put a/c and heat in a 92 cx hatch with a b18c1 swap?

Evil_Wizard

Yep, anything is possible.

BigZ88

is it difficult? expensive?

BigZ88

Tom where are u on this one man? ur the expert on cx hatches arent u?

Any 5th or 6th gen civic with a bseries swap has no problem fitting a/c. I assume you are saying that you don't have a/c and would like to add it with your swap? If so, you will need the A/c bracket, compressor, hoses, belt, core, controls and a few other things i might have left out. Good luck.

BigZ88

damn that sounds expensive!

axlnut

i will give you all the ac ****, in good working order, if you give me your non-ac heater box and controls, plus say 100 dollars. I really need these parts, hell, i can even come swap the **** for you, if you need me too, all u will need is to get the system recharged,
hit me back

you do realize that i live in SC and u live in PA right? but i might be able to work something out with you on this. I have to find out more on the car first

I had the same setup(b18c1) on my old 92cx hatch with no ac. It's gonna be tough trying to look for the parts for it. So I sold it and bought a del sol pig with ac

Do you know what I just did with my CX. I went under the dashboard and started to hammer all the black boxes to take my heat and ac out. No mote heater core, no more motor blower. NO routing vents from motor blower/heater core to vents. Complete underdasboard stuff is gutted out. yes My car is a street car. I just hammered the fucked out of it. Took like 60+lbs. I am not finish yet. I wish I would of know earlier. I would of sold it. I have a AC compressor for a 88-91 crx si, 88-91 crx si starter as well. Both like brand new. send me a pm or email.

my CX came with a/c

joeseph

as did my gf's old one, as I understand it was a very popular dealer installed option. Good luck with the install. keep us posted

BigZ88

thanks guys. i dont have the car yet, but the guy who is sellin had taken the heat/ac out of it. I am hoping to pick this car up tho. I will def. keep everyone posted as i might become a part of the hatch/hybrid crowd soon.

Its easy. I have a spare heater core if you need one but you will have to get all the AC stuff from a junk yard. you will need the evaporator, condenser, all the hoses, pipes, brackets, the compressor & fan, all the wiring and two relays. If you can get to a junkyard where you can pull all the parts its pretty straight forward. The CX comes pre-wired to have AC installed at the dealer but you need the sub harness in the cabin and in the engine bay. You will also need a NEW reciever/dryer unit. $45 from Honda.

Let me know if you want the Heater core and if you need any help with the installation. There is a local junk yard near me that lets me pull my own parts so I could probably find everything you need if you cant find it locally.

hey thanks man....I will let you know!

Civicdrgrcr

I just got a hammer and started to hammer the stuff under the dashboard. I still haven't finished going to do that later on today when theres nothing else to do. I will weigh how much lb's I have lost from my 92hatch cx.

BigZ88

yea this is my daily driver, so heat/ac would be nice

BigZ88

I swear i LOVE IAS. I just called them and they said id prolly be lookin at 500-600 for EVERYTHING i need. Which i dont consider to be too bad knowing their service and reputation.

racecarpete

ouch that is kinda high man. Most people on here remove their a/c all the time and i see people selling complete A/c for like 200 bucks. IAS is cool cause they have all the stuff and tehy warranty it and are easy to deal with if they forget something but they have to have THE highest prices. Keep searching, i am positive you can find a better deal than that.

BigZ88

perhaps...i know a few people have said they would sell it to me, but its good to have waranty and all that stuff to go along with it.
