i wanted to kno if i got a b series in the sol, can i use any b series a/c braket and compressor or only the del sol vtec bracket.

ok i now that i have that question out the way, i just wanted to kno if you could use the ac bracket even if the the torque mount was removed???

jus wanted to kno cause im about to get one but the person who had it said they shaved it off

 

no help. also does anyone have a bracket for sale

 

gotta use a b-series bracket and compressor

 

thanks! so im guessing its any b-series right?

 

no you can run the d series ac compressor but you have to get a bracket from a del sol b16 or a crv , found mine on ebay shipped for $62.00

 

Yeah. If you are running a D series now you can use the stock A/C compressor and you will need to pick up a del sol (dohc) bracket, or CRV b20. (cheaper)

 

.

 

I had heard that the b series swaps in smaller rides like the del sol an eg actually leave very little room to even fit the compressor. Is this true?

 

new question up

 

But why? You'll get no advantage of using a b-series compressor. Besides, you'll have to find new A/C lines to match the b-series compressor, evacuate your entire a/c system, and then refill. Your car was totally designed to have a b-series motor with a d-series compressor stock. That's what the del sol VTEC bracket is for. Why go against nature? In addition, the del sol vtec bracket won't fit a b-series compressor.

 

If you opt for a b series compressor you need to have custom fab fittings on your current lines. Teg or si lines wont fit.

The d series compressor is bolt on. I got the p7j crv bracket for like $40 from hondapartsnow.com
Just remember to get the idler mechanism as they're different from the d series bracket

 

lol i forgot i put that i was goin with the d series compressor but like i was askin b4 can i use the p7j without the torque mount?

only reason i ask is because this guy i kno is sellin one but shaved off the torque mount(idk why)!

 

Personally, I would not run without torque mounts. The torque mounts prevent the engine from torquing back and forth and also prevent the engine from entering the passenger compartment in the event of an accident. There are countless threads of others on this very site asking for help after their engines fell out because they heard it was ok to run without torque mounts.

 

maybe if you have super stiff mounts you need not worry about torque mounts

but I have innovative red mounts and I run with torque mounts; I figure it can't hurt me

as for using the p7j without torque mount of course you can. Just take your torque mount off. You don't need to shave nothing off. the bracket if the mount is not there the rod that goes into the torque mount will just be there. It wont make contact with anything don't shave it off
