Default B18 compressor in an EG ? How much did you pay for....

The modification of the lines ???

I have integra compessors lying around and my sohc compressor is shot to hell.

From what I can see, the lines just need some minor modding to fit and a Del Sol bracket is already $50++ used... so just wondering as I am sure SOMEONE has already done this.

Any idea on the cost of the work to mod the lines ??

Probably more than what the Del Sol VTEC A/C bracket would cost. The only way that I think it would work would to have Integra line ends welded onto the Civic lines so it could bolt to the compressor properly. IMO just save yourself the trouble and buy the Del Sol bracket.

It's not that easy... I have b18 compressors... and no sohc compressor (never had a/c in the first place)... so I'd need to buy the bracket and the compressor.

But the civic lines come pretty damn close to the b18 compressor....

I already have a b18 bracket... I know I can go w/ the del sol bracket, but that means another $60 on a sohc compressor... I have a dohc bracket and a dohc compressor...ok a couple..... That puts me at about $150 to do the del sol method.

No one has done custom A/C lines ?
