has anyone done this? if so can u tell me how u did it? im about to buy one but in the area i live in... a/c is needed... REALLY needed

 

did the car originally have a/c, but was just removed? ... or did it not ever have a/c?

 

either way the holes should be there. get a helms manuel so you see how it all goes together.

 

simple step as long as you get all the proper parts

 

with a cx motor you'll be such a dog though

 

theres more to it then just a couple of holes and a pump and sum lines. theres the evaporator inside the dash im not sure if all hondas came with them but ur gonna need it to run a/c. but u have a cx then they came stock with a/c so ur fine jus get the radiator for a/c and the pump and lines and BAM ac man. oh yea n u might need another climate control with the a/c button

ac didnt come with the car so yea... anyone done this? can u do a walk through for me?

 

Get a Helms manual from http://www.helmsinc.com and get all of the parts needed and install them. Or just go pay someone 500-a grand to do it.

 

Very true, I have a 93 CX with AC, and it is slow as ****. AC is nice and cold though.

 

I dont think the guy is looking for speed when he asks this question. I think staying cool is of importance to him at this point.

I can sit here and list all pieces you will need for this installation (so if need be PM me) but the best bet would be to purchase an entire A/C Unit Kit complete. Alot of the times these puppies come with some low detailed instructions not meant for the noob.

Installing it if never done before will be some what of a bitch and hella time consuming!

Have fun!

(oh and to the guy whom called it an "A/C Radiator" its actually called a Condensor!)

 

Your cheapest bet is to get someone to put an aftermarket one in, or buy all used parts from a junk yard.

What difference does it make? It's already slow as molasses. Not everyone wants to be a m4d tYt3 JDM street-racer and go 100 MPH when going to get groceries. People don't understand that it's a gas mileage saver, grocery getter. That's all it will ever be, unless major money is thrown down. So, at least you're going to the supermarket without swamp-***. Is it that bad to be comfortable?

 

im in the process of doing it now...seems pretty easy, but im still not complete. im missing a few tubes, but after that i should be done.

this was a hella helpful page...

 

I have a complete cx ac that i will get rid of
but you guys live on the other coast
it works, just take all the parts
lol
