I know alot of us have removed the A/C system, its rec. that you block off the open spot to prevent water from splashing onto your blangin turbo/manifold/header. Post up what you got.

:fingers crossed:

 

i wouldnt dare take my AC off tru to oem.

 

So why did you post in here then

I didnt replace mine with anything water wasnt an issue with mine and I dont think much water will get in there with teh intercooler up there too?

 

I would love to see a Carbonfiber block off piece, that would look sexual.

 

I never used any block offs when i pulled my A/C unit out either. Never affected anything

 

From what ive been told from some road racers sealing off the open hole with a solid panel will help direct more air into your radiator, thus improve cooling efficiency.

 

stock 96-00 civics with no a/c come with a plastic panel to cover the opening. I would just get an integra radiator to cover the opening.

Shoot, I shoulda consulted with NOFX, If this is true im goign to do a backflip

 

That is totally true honda sells a block off for a cx I believe and the integra rad works nice also.

 

Sure an integra rad would be nice, but I want things to fit like OEM when it comes to my radiator I dont want to fab up some brackets. ANyone have a part number on the block off plate? I cant find anything on majestichonda.com

 

bump it up, pics and part number please.

one of the first things i did was rip it off and throw it in the garbage. looks better w/o it

 

Thats what I did with my DD ej8-4. Now the block is all corroded, The DC header is warped from water being splashed on the head flange, and the car sputters durring more heavy rain.


What I did yesterday was retain the Condenser (but removed the actual fan [not the shroud -thats yoru mounting bracket]) And used an aluminum sheet on the front of the condenser. This will help direct more flow into the radiator, and looks clean and stock. Doesnt weigh much either.
