I've seen on some of the F22 Turbo'd Accords that the downpipe gets in the way of the A/C lines. Any of you runnin your A/C and managed to get around this problem?

 

sorry no a/c here.

 

nope sorry pal.

 

I still have A/C guy

 

So howd you mend it??

 

I didn't have to. My turbo kit came so that I can retain A/C. (HKS kit)

 

if you go with a log style manifold and keep everything conseravtive you can probably work around the ac pretty easily.

for me I would not been able to get a longer runner manifold like I wanted, nor be able to fit the 3" downpipe I wanted. too much hassle and the weather is not that bad to worry about ac.

 

still got A/C... the turbo kit i have is similar to greddy kit. i had to bend the a/c hardlines around a bit to make everything fit nicely.

 

**** my front crossmember is in the way, so i plan on slimming it a little, maybe. we will see when my new manifold gets here.

 

nope...i think i could of made it work but it was to tight for me plus i never use my ac...i just roll the windows down and drive a little faster.

 

i would do the same...

 

Ive got my A/C ( F-Max kit)

 

Really?? This guy has the FMAX with the F22 and couldnt do it. Maybe cause its a CL?? Hope the link works...

keeping a/c no problem

 

accordfreak : what manifold is that ?!

 

Looks like your charge pipe will get pretty hot.

 

also looks like your wastegate flange is aimed directly at your alternator!! unless you capped that off and are using an internally wastegated turbo.

it's right above the alternator.
