BIG QUESTION...I AM SWAPPING IN AN F22 INTO MY EK SEDAN(JUST A LITTLE PROJECT I GOT MY HANDS INTO)....THE THING IS I WANT TO KEEP MY AC SINCE MY WIFE IS PREGNANT...AND SUMMER IS AROUND THE CORNER...ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE...ANY INFO HELPS THANKS.

 

Please turn capslock off.

I will keep A/C with my F23 into EJ6 swap though with a little less room to the frame since i'm using a trans adapter plate. the space will be tight, but from my measurements it's possible to fit it all in. the trouble is that there is no kit I'm aware of that allows a civic alternator and compressor to mount to an F-series. I will be making my own...

anyway, from my planning and brainstorming here is brief a list of what you'll need to make this work:

-fabricated (custom) compressor and alternator brackets that keep a similar arangement to the stock accord accesory locations
-a push-type slim fan on the front of the condensor. there's no room for the factory fan
-possibly a set of custom flex lines/hoses to the compressor, I'm. not sure yet if there is enough flex in the factory lines for the new location (lower and more forward.
-a bracket or mount system to replace the fan shrowd that you had to remove for clearance.

The brackets will be the most difficult part i expect. if you can modify stock accord brackets to work with the civic accessories you may be able to shortcut it.

good luck!

 

How about wait until after summer to do the swap?

 

haha...sounds like something my wife would say...and thats what i was thinking...but the motor i have now isnt gonna last long...so if im gonna drop cash..might as well try and move foward...
