Very specific A/C related questions such as:

1.) Are all B-series A/C Compressors the same? I found out they have different part numbers. Will they all mount to a B series compressor mounting bracket (B16, B18, B20)? How do they differ (size, shape, fittings)?

2.) I need to know the size of this O-ring compression fitting.


Do all Hondas/Acuras use the same size fitting? It would make sense that they do use the same fitting but I need to be sure as I am making AC line relocation kits. I realistically cannot discharge the AC system on every type of Honda to measure this one fitting. I measured the thread on a discharged 91 Integra and it was 7/8" x 14 thread. How does this compare to an EK, EG, DC?

If anyone knows the answers to my questions that would really help me out.

you'd want to talk to a real DIY kinda guy..
by the title of your thread, i thought you had an A/C problem.. which i could probably help you diagnose (assuming it was 100% oe system)

oh well, good luck.

I don't know the specific sizes of the fittings but I do know that DC and EK are different sizes.

I tried mixing and matching a junkyard '98 Type R AC kit onto a '96 EK and didn't get far. Nearly all fittings were different sizes.

Dang, I threw all the lines away because they took up too much space and I sold the EK anyway. I would have given them all to you for free.

My suggestion is to go to a "you pull it" junkyard and start your research.
