Default Turbo and A/C on a sedan, am I crazy?

So, in short, am I dreaming? I want to keep A/C and PS on my D16. If so, what manifold/turbo would have the clearance? I'm willing to use the half size radiator if I need to. I want to go ahead with research, but I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time.

PS is overrated, A/c can be kept if you try

good contribution


a log manifold will work just fine as long as its a specified EF/PS/AC manifold, which might be a little hard to come by. plan in sticking with no larger than a small T3 turbo.

i short, there is going to be a bunch of custom fab involved, there really is very little room

It was a condensed version of you post.
Learning to weld would give you the best possibilites, alloing you to make the tight turn to the down pipe. YOu could also make you own log mainfold, after some practice, that would allow you to place the turbo exactly where you need it.

Greddy kits are AC friendly.
