looking for pics of a turbo with the compressor mounted on the driver side? specifically b-series motors like b16 and b17/8

i know the filter would usually get in the way of AC but has anyone done this--- really good to be able to keep AC AND have a big 3" DP

here you go

 

does it matter what side its on?

 

some people like it like this because the dp is less restrictive, but which ever way fits best for you is ok

 

why would that matter? all you need is the proper DP to accomadate

 

i have a pic of a that setup on a b20z, althought you specified the vtec models.

 

sorry..i just had to.

engine is a b17a...can take plenty more pics if you are looking for something in particular (dont hate...its only a week old. i gotz me a lot of fixin to do)

 

GREAT!! now that i have those -- can anyone find me a pic of a reverse turbo WITH A/C....

i think this is pretty much impossible (anything is possible) becuase of the filter location

I particularly asked for these pics because i wanted to see them in a teg but if you have any more it would be nice-- any b-series is fine i guess.

and for those who are curious-- some like this setup better for ease of running a bigger DP

 

you really gonna be hard pressed to find a turbo kit reverse mounted with AC. If the manifold is designed from scartch and mountin in different location it is possibel to make it work

 

What's your budget? You can get a cast LoveFab Sidewinder for $600 [I think] and run a full 3" DP AND retain AC [though it'd be a pickle to reverse mount the turbo].

 

for what its worth.... not sure what all you can see with my manifold in the way.

 

phiberoptik: doyou still have AC or was it erased for teh turbo??

thanks

 

Here's a couple pics of my car about a year ago. A couple good pics of the turbo and the downpipe.

 

I never put ac on my car when I put the motor in. You need a specific bracket and I didnt feel the need to throw the extra money into it. I could not have AC with that manifold anyways. for LoveFab

I can modify you your teg A/C bracket to accomodate the Civic compressor. I will put up some pics later on. After I get some free time at work.

It's easy and only cost about $10 or less of 1" wide metal.

Here is my link, a little info on DIY A/C bracket.http://www.geocities.com/crxls18/ACmod.html

only problem is that lovefab mani's arent ac compressor friendly and I already removed the ac lines.

no offense but thats one F*ed up manifold--
