Ok, i have a 97 civic with a b18b1 in it and i have all the parts ready to swap over my AC from the old motor.... my question is... how much oil do i need to put in the compressor or do i need to put any in? Im really confused and im not about to pay 150 bucks for someone to do something i can do just cause i dont know the right specs


Please help!

 

Using the compressor from the civic? The Helm repair book says the amount of oil along with the amount of refrigerant. But I don't have a book for civic...

If you're using the compressor from an integra (B18 donor) then use the amount based on that car. (The oil mostly stays in the compressor.)

A better question would be... Do you have a vacuum pump to evacuate the system before putting oil & refrigerant in?

 

Yeah i have access to all the tools thats not a problem... So i put the oil in through like the low preasure line or pour it directly into the compressor before i polt all the lines together.

p.s. It is the compresor from the civic and i dont have a helms...

p.p.s. where do i get ahold of one?
