So i bought this car a few months back as a daily driver, it was stripped down when i first got it and put a lot of labor into the car. The interior and engine has basically been completely stripped and put back together with countless hours and elbow grease.

Here are a few mods i've done to the engine so far.

D16z6 long block
stage 2 camshaft valve spring retailer
poly filled engine mounts
pm7/p29 dohc zc piston
ebay 4-2-1 header
ported oem intake manifold
integra LS throttle body

But anyways back to the a/c, i picked this car up with the a/c removed. Since its my daily driver i wouldn't mind having it blistering cold inside on my daily commutes and errands. So i've been on a hunt for another a/c system, finally i get a call from my friend. He got his hands on a complete a/c system out of a Del Sol with b16 engine. It so have happened that it was out of a 94+ delsol so it was already R134, i didn't need to convert or anything like that.

Gave me one hell of a deal so i pick it up right away. Lets just say i paid under $100 for the setup , now since it came out of a Del Sol vtec and mine is a sohc del sol. I needed to get my hands on a D-series a/c bracket.

Here comes mother luck again, my friend's brother who lives down the street happened to have just removed the a/c bracket out of his sohc civic while doing a b-series swap. So i swing over there and decide to install everything.

He only had the a/c bracket without the pulley, but luck happened to strike again. A few years back one of our friends swapped a b16 into his crx and my friend happened to have kept the compressor/bracket from the sohc engine in his garage all these years. The bracket did not fit my d16z6 but the pulley on there fit the bracket i picked off the other guy.

Now i had everything i needed, until we finished everything and tried to put the original belt that came with the a/c system. Turns out the B-series belt is slightly longer and will not fit. But we had the belt from the d-series a/c setup so we were good to go.

Everything installed and tomorrow i'll be going to get my system vacuumed and charged.

Here is a picture of my engine bay before.



And now the pictures of the a/c install. Everything went on smoothly with a little tweaking of the lines but it didn't take up much time.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

 

Cool.

 

Got it evacuated and charged, works great!

 

How long was that drier sitting out? Its probably no good...

 

about a week, what would the symptoms be if its bad. Everything has seemed fine so far.

 

Tony you dirty HO, wheres my $20 for the D-series a/c bracket!!

 

Ha, usually here on H-T there's pple bitching about the extra weight and power loss that AC causes.

Good to see somebody actually using their head for once .
