I recently test fitted a '92-'00 USDM Civic AC compressor on a JDM ITR aluminum AC bracket. This bracket will be great for people with '92-'00 Civics that want to install a DOHC B-series swap and keep the factory AC intact. It allows the Civic AC compressor to bolt up. This bracket costs the same as a '94-'95 DOHC VTEC Del Sol AC bracket, which does the same thing.

Threads need to be tapped into the holes that will be pointed out in the following pictures.

Here are some pics:


The picture above shows the AC bracket bolted to a B20 block.



The picture above shows one of the four holes that need to be tapped with a 8 X 1.25 threads to allow the AC compressor to bolt on.



The picture above shows the hole that needs to have threads tapped (12 x 1.25) for the idler pulley bracket.



The picture above shows the hole that needs to be drilled and tapped with a 8 X 1.25 tap to allow the tensioner bolt to thread in. You will need to use a washer to align the idler pulley and the crank pulley. Make sure the washer is JDM y0!


Next, a small amount of material needs to be remove for the AC compressor to clear. The next two pictures are a before and after shot of what needs to be done.


Before


After


Now your Civic AC compressor is ready to be bolted up to the JDM ITR aluminum AC bracket.


I know, I know the picture above doesn't have the material removed. It was the only pic I had without the AC compressor and at the same angle as the following pic.



Happy hybriding and be sure to visit your friendly online stores.

no. you can also use the Del Sol A/C bracket (forget which #), but using the Aluminum A/C mount you get to be mad JdM y0 and alot lighter..

nice...now i have a project to work on before summer hits.

 

eg6si,

All you need to do to retain your PS in your Si HB is use a GS-R PS pump and associated brackets and bolt your Si PS line up to it.
