Yo HT, i searched but found too many different answers so i figured id ask myself. I have a 99 ek coupe with a 96 b18c1 .... i want A/C ... what do i need. Please list parts or show me a better thread please and thank you

 

is your car a dx ex? has it ever had a/c before?

 

Its an EX and yes it had it before but was taken out by previous owner

 

ok well since its hard for me to know exactly what was taken out im going to just state some face that i know since i have the same setup in my 97 ex..
you can use everything stock from the ex a/c stuff the condensor, the 2 lines, and the compressor.. pretty much all the stuff from the 1999 ex civic..
the only thing that would be different is you would need to use an integra a/c bracket that mounts to the block.. i used a p72 which is a gsr. i know for sure that works but idk about other integra brackets they should all work..

 

A del sol Vtec or 99-00 Si bracket and AC compressor combination is what you will need. this will allow everything to coincide with oem replacements.

 

thanks guys i appreciate it

 

I used a Del Sol bracket and re-used the D16Y8 compressor, I also swapped the D16Y8 pully and installed it on the Del Sol bracket as well. Nobody tells you this but you have to get a mix and match set of bolts to get it to mount up correctly or the bolts will wiggle out due to the engine vibrations. I have the OEM part numbers but will have to find them in the garage. The Si bracket does not work due to the Honda changing the compressor size, I found this out the hard way and almost ate the cost on the bracket but the parts guy was cool and did the return. These brackets are special order so hopefully you dont'' need it too soon. Good Luck!
