I have a question it might be a dumb question but i searched the archives and only found people with problems with A/cs not mentioning the years and what not. Mainly when i got my car it didnt have AC (not sure if owner took it out or it just didnt have). and lately we have had a big heat wave in cali 100-105s in my city and my civic dont have AC. Would it be possible for me to hook up ac in my civic? it has a b16a (i hear i loose power.. but being nice and cold on hot days is better then the little power loss to me ) . on the dash from the stock stuff it has a AC button, but not sure if b16s came with ac stock etc. or if i would have to get some kinda kit to put it on? if ne one can help that would be awsome thanks.

 

it will be an expensive project. are there any other a.c. components on the car?

 

I dont think it would be that expensive, if you shop around for your parts. Check on ebay, junkyards, and stuff. It is possible. I am sure there is a kit you could buy, but it would cost more, and its probably a dealership thing

 

there is tons of threads on this topic, in the recent and archives (trust me i should know). back to the question at hand

no it will not be expensive. you need a r134 system, it will work with your b16 because it works for mine. you will also need 1 of 2 brackets. the del sol's (part # 38930-P54-000) or the crv bracket (part # 38930-P7J-000) so they can work with the d series compressor. the b series compressor will not work with the a/c lines.
it is a pretty easy to install, if your not that handy get a friend to help, that's how easy it will be.

i picked up mine for $350 from this yard out in ohio, and that was everything i needed for the install, here's the info
discovery auto parts
1.888.858.5711

they salvage all honda/acura parts!

*edit - $350 shipping was included.*

thats for every part needed to install it and have it workin? or did u sitll need to buy other components?

 

the number i posted, they will sell you whole complete kit. comes w/lines, dryer, condensor, evaporator, etc. the only thing you will need for it to work on the b-series is one of the two brackets i posted up. they are both dealer items(unless you find one on ebay or something) and the crv is the cheapest of the 2.

 

I sold my complete AC system for $150 (compressor, condensor, under dash box, and all AC lines) then charged the guy $250 for install. I think he paid another $45 to get it recharged

 

is that why you have money fanning on your avatar? LOL!

 

No, thats because I paid $850 for some junction produce rims in japan and sold them here for $3300
