will AC from a 95 civic EX work in a 92 civic cx/vx??? I need an answer asap if someone can help me out! thanks!

 

yes it will work.

all the same parts as far as that is concerned.

 

i was told theres a difference with r12 and r134 or whatever it is.

But basically, im taking all the AC components from the engine bay of a 95 civic, and hooking it up to the firewall of a 92 civic

yes thats correct. sorry man, that completely slipped my mind. Honda switched to R134a in 1994. BUT switching to a 95 a/c system would be in your best interest since it will be completely R134a and you won't have to do a retrofit.

R12 is expensive... literally. but works much more efficiently than the newer R134a. So if your checkbook can afford it, R12 will cool better.

 

so would the lines from the 95 civic bolt up to the connections at the firewall on the 92 civic?

Yes, just make sure everything is clean if it used and is being bolted up to the original '92 equipment if there is any left.

the oil used for R12 does not mix with R134a AT ALL.

 

great! thanks for your help! I just bought a complete used system

 

get some a/c flush and flush out the evaporator with shop air

 

buy a new drier also, unless the seller has sealed since removal

 

i cleaned out the evaporator with an air compressor but no ac flush, not sure what that is. What exactly is "drier"???

also, does anyone know if the civics that did not come with AC, are wired for AC???

get it at an auto store, it's called "A/C Flush"
the drier absorbes moisture from the a/c system
use the a/c flush to clean all lines and condensor

 

yea they will work.i am using 95 civic's compressor on my 93 eg.and all the ac parts are from different eg and different years too.

 

actually, the 92-3 civics have completely different ac systems. the 92-3 ac system uses 12mm bolts to connect the high and low pressure lines to the compressor which means 8mmx1.25 threaded holes in the compressor. the 94-5 uses 10mm bolts. the same goes for the lines that connect to the evaporator, the 92-3 uses a 10mm for the high pressure line and a 12mm for the low. the 94-5 uses a 10mm for the high and a 10mm for the low. the best thing to do is buy all lines and compressor from a 92-3 so everything bolts up. then buy a new drier and pick up the r134a converion kit for 10 bucks at autozone which consists of the r134a fittings that screw right onto your r12 lines then flush and evacuate the system, draw it to a vacuum and charge it with r134a
