b16a2 AC compressor belt, idler pulley/tensioner - interchangeable with B18?
Hi i was wondering if anyone has swapped idler pulleys off b18s and put on b16a2 . I've researched part numbers and a few popped up on Acura for 2000+ integras not RSX . Just wondering if b18 b16 AC parts such as this are interchangeable. Lmk I have a em1 trying to restore and needs Idler pulley and belt for AC .

Part # are not the same so I would guess not.
With that said, the bone yards are full of b16a engines. 94

Thanks for reply I had a feeling they wouldn't be since part numbers aren't the same . I work for Honda and can get one at discount but had a LS motor on AC system from 94 LS so I was just gonna ask around b4 I bought a new one . I live in San Diego btw the salvage yards here
Are torn apart quick hard to find b16 unless you get lucky haha thanks for the info
