let me know what you all think about the car

 

if it was me, i would do it, but every person has there own opinion.

 

tru....

 

take it to an a/c shop that can run custom lines. Should cost about 3k. Custom hot rods have to have this custom plumbed just like this integra with the swap will

i had my 240's lines custom made to integrate the SR20DET a/c compressor to the factory 240SX's a/c system. cost ~$135 i think. NAPA is equipped to do this kind of work, BTW, so it's easy to find a place to do it.

thanks man, you've been the most help all day evey one else wants to bull **** around!

 

you're quite welcome. i think the bigger problem you'll run into is that during the swap the a/c is removed *i believe* because it doesn't fit. that may be your bigger worry. look where the a/c compressor goes and see if there is indeed room for it there. i could have sworn this swap was pretty much a no a/c swap. but that may just be because most people who do it want to race and racing and a/c don't mix well.

 

Trade for the car already. A/C is not a problem.

 

save your money and buy a rsx type s. Then you'll have a/c and everything.

don't you have a job? i like to show up to work at least looking and smelling okay. the windows just don't cut it for me. getting to work can be a little hair-raising sometimes and the windows just add noise. mwahahaha attack that tarmac . . .

Easy!!!

 

go for it K20's are the **** a/c or no a/c .

 

usdm k20 transmissions suck! they'll go out on you after awhile.. (the gears) you'll end up havin to get a whole new one, jdm k20 tranny's are tha bomb stuff though, they'll last you a lifetime!

who honestly has had one long enough to be able to prove that? if you're busting transmissions after only a few years either you've got enough power that NO 4-cylinder honda's FWD transmission is going to live up to the power, or you're a dumbass that doesn't like using the clutch to shift because you think you're cool and fast. i mean seriously, if you're having a problem with the gears doing anything other than stay nice then you've got issues either of huge horsepower or not being able to drive. the metallurgy of the transmission between JDM and USDM is probably identical, although admittedly i don't have any supporting data.

Ive heard k20 trannys are crap too. No personal experience but ive read they cant hold alot of power.

you are right about the tranny thing , the tranny in the car has already been replaced once but is good for now!

 

they have a notorious problem grinding 3rd gear some dont even go into 3rd, Visit Clubrsx.com for more info

 

well gears and synchros are NOT synonymous. we all know honda synchros are no good as a rule. i was wondering why the heck somebody commented that the gears aren't strong? it seems that since the K20's block is built like a tank, why would they skimp on the gears? i mean, drag racers with 500+whp blow gears, not people with stock turbo kits or bolt-ons and such.

 

ya I meant syncho problems but that means problem shifting into 3rd gear, The tranny holds power just has trouble shifting

 

just get the compressor off of a type s
a condensor from a civic (half length will fit nicely) and custom lines.

welcome to the world of Honda. notice how the S2000 has a TRIPLE-cone synchro on first and double-cone synchros on second and third (and maybe more gears, i forget). all the lousy B-series gets is double-cone first on some models and single on the rest.
