Hey everyone, my last car got T-Boned and I picked up an Integra. After driving in the heat so long, AC was nice to have for a change. Anyone here with a kickass all motor setup w/ AC?

I was planning on building a mild lsvtec, and aim to net a sub-14.

 

it can be easily done...i run low 14s on street tires with full interior on my gsr w/ skunk pro1 cams...i can easily hit 13s wit some slicks

 

Well that sure gives me inspiration.
What header are you using that clears ac?

&lt;------- A/C and power steering

 

I have A/C and P/S on mine still.

 

as long as you don't care about an extra 30-40lbs in the car, AC isn't really a parasitic device (until you turn it on). When idling (off), we're talking microscopic drain on the crank.

Therefore, while there are few guys running it, the only reason is prolly laziness and/or weight (mostly the latter for most).

I am keeping it on my SOHC build, as it's my daily driver and I'm not crazy like some of these people around here - used to have it off, never again. NC is too darned hot/humid. I can't imagine how some of ya'll live in the west with 100+ degree temps and no a/c.

I wasnt too concerned with the parasitic loss, main concerns where header choices/weight.

 

im using an rmf narrow...my friend has a toda for sale if your interested in that also...thats wat i tuned my car on...and im usin oversized jdm itr pistons with a valvetrain w/ a 12.5 fly...going to put on an 8 lb fly n see wat it does for me sumtime in the next couple of weeks...as for the weight...i think gutting your car for the extra 100 pounds less...isnt really werth it for the point sumthin seconds you lose in the track unless its a real track car...in my perspective..others may differ

i got a rage ss tri-y...its pretty light compared to my stock header. my bro got a rmf narrow. we all love a/c in the dirty souffff.

 

Hows the tri-y clearance, I was looking at pics and it lookd rather close. The picture I saw the ac compressor wasnt mounted, but it looked close to the mounting holes. Mustve been the picture.

 

a/c clearance is fine. bottom clearance is cutting close. its hanging quite lower than the oil pan. so...ground clearance if you drop your car too low it might be a problem.

Did you have the belts on when you dyno'd your car?
