Im planning on putting the A/C back into my civic real soon and wanted to know if it is necessary to use the DEL SOL DOHC A/C bracket??? Or can I use the GSR bracket?? I have a 95 JDM GSR motor in a 1992 Civic DX HB...Any info would be great...

 

if you want to retain your a/c, use the del sol. no ac? gsr is fine.

 

You need to use a Del Sol VTEC (B16A3) A/C bracket and the stock D series A/C compressor, lines, condensor, etc.

 

So I dont need to use the GSR compressor...Can I still run R-134 coolant or stick with what the Civic ran...R-12??

 

use the p54 94-97 del sol vtec bracket and belt, and you use the complete sohc a/c system.

 

u should run r134a, if the compressor is for r12, u can convert everything to use r134a. its better that way.

r12 is fading out.

 

The guy that might recharge my system was telling me he will just need a new filter, and then we can run R134...So running r134 in a R12 compressor is okay I take it with the right changes of course...

 

sorry to get off topic, but i have a question, i am wondering do you have to use the del sol bracket if your gonna use a 00si a/c compressor

 

I think if you want to retain AC with a B series in a 92-95 civic you have to for sure...

del sol bracket will not fit 99 si compressor.


BOTTOM LINE.

if you have a 92-00 civic. use a 94-97 p54 del sol vtec bracket, and retain your WHOLE stock sohc a/c system. don't even bother to unbolt anything, or evacuate the system.

well when i bought the car, the guy who had it before took the a/c off. i can get a complete 00si a/c system and a complete 92-95 civic a/c system. i am wondering if i can use the 00si compressor with the 92 lines

Not going to work... The 92 Civic lines will work ONLY with the 92-95 Civic/Del Sol compressor and condenser.

Yip, but, you need the tensioner pulley, pulley bracket, nuts and bolts for said pulley and bracket. I just ordered everything from there and it was just over $200 for everything.

 

you can use all the parts from your existing bracket (gsr/ls/b16a) etc.

I didn't have any of the parts, whn I got the motor is came with a bare mount.

 

used a crv bracket on mine p7j off a 97 crv. this was in a 97 hatch should work the same in any 92-00 civic using civic conpressor.
