When bolting up the turbo to headers the a/c line was in my way. So I took pulled out the low a/c line to make room. Figured since the low was out why even have the high hooked up either. It was all good for the first few weeks that I had it bolted up, but now its so freakin hot out I can't bare driving during the day. I am going to head out to a junk yard next week to try n locate some off n old tegra, but completly forgot what line goes where.
Anyone know where I can find a good diagram?
Thanks

 

Take off the turbo and you won't have that problem. Really, its either power or comfort in a Honda. There's no way to get power without sacrificing comfort. You kept drivability but lost comfort. People who keep AC (who go all-motor) lose drivability but keep some comfort.

 

you got to pick man! you can have your cake and eat it too. lol.... but really you have to sacrifice comfort in order to gain power

 

For anybody that knows me personaly knows how persistant I am. So on that note I wanna see a diagram, cause I have heard it is possible to have both. W/ a few parts from lowes I think I can rig somthing up, as long as I know where the original lines go. Once I get that diagram I'll be sure to hook every one up with the truth behind it after I'm done.


<<Out to prove sombody wrong, n get icy all at once. So how ya like them apples!

 

well its possible to keep the ac but your going to have to search for the right turbo ... its going to cost more to keep ac in
you would probably get more help in the forced induction forum

 

There's no reason you can't run custom A/C lines that route different from stock. A good tubing bender and some planning should get you around this problem. We're only talking about two lines.

 

Forgety the a/c line problem, what i really want to know is how you got a single turbo to fit your headers?

 

RUn a drag manifold or revhard with t3 or t3/t04 turbo and you're good.
I love my boosted GSR WITH A/C...

IM me if you want a drag manifold, I have one for sale.

 

dump the a/c and roll down your windows

 

many people make manifolds that are AC compatible. you'll have to dish out a good penny or two if you want these. or you could just do what someone else said, just get a drag or revhard manifold. with these manifolds you can easily run AC. I did with my drag mani and t3/to4e 57 trim.

 

yea.. it really depends on your mani. get a custom mani made if you really want to keep a/c. but like apok said.. it's about sacraficing comfort for power: ie. ripping out the interior and making the cabin loud and ugly to make the car lighter.. putting bars everywhere inside so you cant use the trunk or backseat.. installing turbo manis that require removing ac and ps.. it's a bitch. but if you want comfort and speed you need to spend big buck and buy an evo or sti or something

 

if you got the money **** the honda and get an sti or an evo. that will solve your problem

thats a rediculous statement. my car was fast and extremely comfortable.
all u have to do is get an AC compatible mani and bolt it on. you will have as much power as your motor can handle. plus AC. i dont get what has to be sacrificed.

 

I have heard, the hardest part about getting A/C to work with boost is the downpipe. either you get 2.5 inch, or pay alot for a 3 inch d/p. Don't quote me though. This is what I have heard.

 

Damn lots comments. COOL! Yea I've got a Drag mani, n the down pipes not a problem. Mad respect to every body with a/c n a turbo! :D I think I'm going to use a braided steel line from lowes, which is normaly used for ice boxes for a refrigerator. Apears to be able to hold the presure and then some and very flexible.. You can get them in all sizes and diamitors. The man problem though wasnt with my mani it was just with the turbo side. While installing had to bend one ac line to just get it in thurr, but when tried the ac to see if it still worked got out the car and found that it was leaking, so thats when i just ripped that sucker out... but like i said before I have no clue how to put it all back together...

Wrap your A/C lines with heat wraps you can get from jegs.com
It's a tight space spending more $$$ for a/c plus turbo is not true. The price for a good equal length mani + downpipe that will produce a lot of power is about the same as a mint used drag or revhard mani + dp.

You can fabricate 3" dp that will keep A/C and that is the same price as 2.5". It's your choice, it's custom anyway, right? same bends, larger dia. I put 2.5" downpipe from revhard and still have room for up to 3.5" (i know no one does this) keeping my a/c.

you DONT NEED to sacrifice comfort for turbo. Yes it will make your car lighter if you are racing the car if you think it's worth it (not street driving).

 

I personally dont know, but why dont you go to your local borders or noble or even pepboys and either look through a Haynes/Chilton manual or buy one?? Best 20 dollars you will ever spend.

I'm just happy to hear this, i've been thinking about going w/ the dragkit when I get the money together, but I really wanted to keep AC(if I wanted a no luxury stripped car i would have gotten a civic...)

 

Yea I've got one, but think its for earlier gen integra. Your right though that might be a good way to figure out the a/c diagrams. Thnx
