Ok guys, I need all the help I can get on this one. First, let me give you some background info in this project:
Car: 1993 Civic Hatchback CX (Did not come with A/C when I bought it from the dealership)
Motor: 2000 B18C1 (USDM if that matters)
Problem: Summers in VA suck and I need A/C
Parts I have so far:
A. A/C bracket from 95 dohc vtec del sol
B. Compressor and Condensor from 93 civic but no lines connected to it.
Questions:
A. What else do I need?
B. Can I get a dryer and eveporator from integra or do I have to buy one for a civic? Basically, can I mix and match?
C. Should I pay $500-$1000 for a shop to take care of this for me?
Any info would be greatly appreciated, I know many of you hybriders have done this and I am new to the hybrid scene. Thanx in advance.

I am not sure, I know some people that would only buy a DX or Si because they came with A/C. Do you own a Haynes for your car? What does it say about the A/C?

Kalokohan

Well, my pops bought it for $9K flat back in 1993 with only 12 miles on the D-series motor, he was too cheap to pay for air conditioning. I didn't want to put a/c in it yet because I had no power to begin with and with a/c on, I would have about 6whp. Now with the B18C1, I can afford to put a/c in it, turn it on and still be able to go 55MPH. I am picking up a haynes for my car tonight.

Kewl, the Haynes will be able to tell you everything man......good luck and CONGRATS....I am looking at a H22A right now.

What kind of exhaust do you have Spade? Im looking to custom make a mandrel bent QUIET!! exhaust system... lemme know.

taqman15

just get every ac component for your civic except use the del sol ac bracket and you should be good to go....its just plug and play

Spade

I have a stock exhaust

However, I am planning on a mandrel bent 2.5" to go with my H22 will get the biggest resonator and muffler possible with the strait through design so that the air flow is not restricted in anyway. Probably Magnaflow muffler. As long as the resonator and muffler are strait through the performance will not be effected and the bigger the can the quiter it is.

how much would a new ac set cost
mine came with an aftermarket air and its a peice of ****
nothing but problems from it.
i would rather have a honda setup and rerun all the lines.

Spade

Kamin: Did you get a JDM or a USDM?

Kalokohan

I was looking at Majestic Honda and they have a whole a/c system for a 92-95 civic for around $580, damn!!

Spade

Get it!!!!

Hey guys,
I'm also thinking about getting A/C for my Hybrid. I have a 93 Cx w/ 98 USDM GSR motor. The heat is not that bad to me, but when it rains damn it sucks to be driving my car. What all will I need to put A/C back in my car? Yeah, the stock motor had a/c, but I took it out and gave some of the parts to a buddy and junked the rest. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has AC in an EF with a b-series swap? Is this possible? I currently have a ZC in my CRX and am wondering if there's a way to keep the AC when I swap in a B16?
