OK, so started getting all the parts for my b16a but i'm running into a problem now. I bought the bracket off ebay that i can use my SOHC ek compressor with the bracket they are selling. But now i remember on the b16a motor i bought there is no idler pulley or bracket for the ac. Which one do i buy? And its expensive at Honda any where else they sell it, aftermarket? OR can i just use the same one that is on my SOHC since that belt is the one i'm going to be running anyways?

 

any kind of help would be great.

 

So, you have a/c in your car right now....a d series setup? If your switching to a b series engine swap, you need a crv or del sol vtec dohc a/c bracket to mount your d series compressor to the b series engine

 

no, but thats not the problem. I bought the bracket that actually allows you to keep the d series compressor to hook onto the b motor so you dont have to mess with the lines or anything. the problem i'm havin though is the idler pulley and bracket. can i reuse my d one or do i have to go buy a b one? i'm going to be running a d series belt.

 

come on i know some of you have have done this...

 

^^ when i needed one, i went to the local pick n pull junkyard, found a crv and pulled the complete compressor bracket, pulley, mount and bolts, total cost $12

 

finding a CRV with a motor is slim to none here... and i work at a salvage yard LMAO... But my question is can i just use my stock one off the d16? Or do i have to go the route of buyin one from a dual cam?

 

No idea....why don't you just try, it's only a single bolt and bracket, would take 5 mins to try it out

 

yah would be simple to do that but my motor is in my car and the b16 is waiting for the rest of the parts to come in so i can start putting it together and finished

 

did it fit
