im doing a b18b swap in my 97 civic. i have everythign for the ac, but i plan on boosting as soon as i get teh clutch broke in, actually it will prolly be withinliek 1000 miles. what is the disadvantage of running an ac with a trubo setup. Can u still get pretty good manifolds that keep the ac, also what about the down pipe. i tried searching, but "ac" is to small of a word to search, and not many people refer to it as air conditioning on here
any help is much appreiciated
thanks

 

Ac ownz me
You sacrifice a little bit of power and weight but I just make up for it with more boost
There are PLENTY of good AC compactable manifolds and many are running 3"DP's with the AC still in tack.

There are several manifolds that are available for A/C without a problem. The styles will vary depending upon your budget of affordability, and your particular tastes. Response time vs. peak power. Expect your range to be from about $450-$1200 for the quality units.

 

cheaper the better, really wasnt wanting log style, but i take whati can afford, my budget for a mani is about 500
