anyone know if my A/C will go back in with the b16 in my ef.. with HCP motor mounts? Summer is commng i want to put it back .. took it all out cuz of the swap.. If there is any posible way.. please reply.. thanks

 

I know HA$port makes a "special" bracket to allow the use of your old EF compressor.
I made my own - EF compressors will not bolt up to any B-series compressor brackets.

 

Yep gotta get the braket. Sucks huh?

Just roll down the windows.

 

doesn't the del sol VTEC bracket work??

 

It works but you need the compressor also so either way..

 

cmon, CA doesnt get that hot. try drivin to FLA or out east where humidity sucks the life out of you and comfort is compromised because you like to do hybrid swaps with no AC.

 

Florida can kiss my *** anyone that has lived in Ca. example Palm Springs or AV knows what hot is. Is 115 hot enough for you, you can even fry an egg on the street.

 

florida gets rain... we get droughts....

 

You can get the PWO bracket from the EF b16a to use. You will only be able to run 2 bolts on it, but that is all you will need. I think that the Pr3 bracket will allow you to get 2 on there as well. I ran mine this way B18c jackson ACed EF for about a year in the FL heat and rain, then I ran it out here in Calis heat as well. Never had any probs with the mount or compressor.

 

hey where did u get your bracket from let me know oh yeah did use the d-series compressor too

I have HCP mounts, in my 90 CRX, and I'm using the HASPORT bracket. It fits and it works, it's my neccessity here at Lancaster/Palmdale where it's all about dry heat. Blah! I have a PR3 A/C bracket, but even if you were to try and use an A/C compressor (from an Inetgra) you 'll need custom frabricated a/c hoses. Personally I say buy the HASPORT bracket and use all your stock A/C components, makes buying and looking for parts much easier.

You can use the PW0 (integra XSi) bracket only if you have the sanden TR70 A/C compressor. Remember, our cars came with two types of compressors, the SANDEN and the MATSUSHITA. If you have the latter of the two, it might be best to just buy the bracket from HASPORT. With the PW0 bracket and the Sanden compressor two of the bolts will line up. I was not comfortable with just two bolts, so I modified the bracket by drilling and tapping another hole so I had three bolts, which is the most you can do because the 4th hole isn't even close. By looking at the PR3 bracket, It looks like it might be able to be modified to work, but would take some extra effort, possilby drilling and tapping two holes. I wish I had pics to show how I did mine, but its kinda hard to see. The DelSol VTEC bracket will bolt to the DelSol VTEC compressor, but the lines are diffeent from our cars. Thus leaving you with the task of custom made lines etc. Conclusion, If you don't have the PW0 bracket that requires little or no mod to fit, try to mod the PR3, if you don't want to mod either, spend $200 at www.hasport.com

And remember ANY time you open your A/C system, especially in humid climates, you must replace the dryer/accumulator to ensure trouble free operation. Our compressors aren't cheap. Do everything you can to prevent its perish
