Hybrid A/C in to Civic....
I was riding in my freinds Caddilac the other day and the A/C was almost blowing Snow out the vents and was thinking of how the Honda's A/C system
always was weak.
Would it be possible to swap A/C parts from another car into a Civic?A car that has a better A/C system?
Just a thought

Re: Hybrid A/C in to Civic.... (brockscivic)
I'm sure it is possible - all A/C systems use the same principal. I'm guessing the compressor is just more powerful on other cars. That's just a guess. If it is the compressor that limits our systems, then custom fabbing a bracket and connections and finding a belt that would fit is all you would have to do. Oh yeah, and then you'd have to get the system recharged.

Wouldn't a more powerful compressor take more power from the engine? Caddy's are usually V6/8, and have a bit more power than your Honda 4-banger. I'm sure it would work, but you'd probably be sluggish as hell with the air on.
