I just finished installing my a/c system. I had taken it out 2 years ago, and decided to install it again. this time i have a b16a. My question is will my b16a compressor work with my a/c system. or do i need my old D series compressor and need to buy a braket????? im sure that my bseries compress or will work can some one verify???? also one hose is slightly bend b.c the hoses fitting to my b series braket is different will this affect the flow???? and do i need to buy a hose off a civic si?? or can i jsut leave it how it is. The guy at the shop said it shouldnt be a problem.







thanks any help is appreciated

 

you can reuse all your d series ac pipes, condensor and fan and even d series ac compressor and u will need a crv ac bracket or del sol vtec model ac bracket. get a new ac dryer/receiver and have it vacummed and recharged by a ac shop,

 

ya thanks i havent gotten a new dryer/receiver ima leave my old one it looks in ok condition hope it works. i am getting it flushed 1st by a pro a/c place. so u think that hose will b ok????

 

anyone else can verify??? i need to know by tonight.

do not reuse your ac dryer/receiver cause it is being exposed to the air for a while. if you want your ac cold. get a new one

 

where can i buy a new one for a cheep price???? beside my local honda dealer??? will my old dryer / reciever really make my air less cold??? drastically like where ur a/c sucks a$$???

what about that hose can some one verify if that bend is ok??? the guy at teh a/c pace said it was ok as long as it wasnt bent to much. but i want to know just incase so i can look for the right one.

 

yeah. what ac dryer/receiver does is, it absorbs the moisture and if it is already been exposed to the air, the chances are it might not hold up any moisture and it is only cost me under $30 bucks brand new from local auto parts store. i didnt get it from honda cause i know they charge too much.
and since u are going to spend $100 to a ac shop to have it vacumed and recharged and u dont want to use an old dryer/receiver and ac turns out warm and then have to redo it again for another $100.

and that hose bent is ok too .cause i thought i was the only one who runs this ac setup. u are running d series ac pipes into gsr/ls ac compressor and have to manually bend ac pipes to bolt on,right? correct me if i am wrong

my ac set up is weird cause i had to bend two ac pipes to bolt on to gsr ac compressor and i use a jdm p30 ac bracket.

below is my ac setup. similar to your huh

 

Alright cool. ahaha ya my setup looks the same thanks for all the help. i called autozone they have the dryer for $40. one question why do u have that clamp on ur hose??

 

It looks like the clamp is holding on his high-temp sleeve

i use the clams to secure the left over thermal wrap that i used for exhaust manifold , on the ac hose because it is so close to exhaust manifold

 

ohh i see... good idea, well thanks for all the help fellas. im going to be picking up new dryer/receiver tommorow and taking my car to the shop to get flushed n recharged by the end of this week. will keep you guys posted on how everything goes. i hope everything still works lol.

 

well i got my a/c charged saturday! and i jsut finished installing ym belt today. everything seems fine. there is no change in my car idle which i feard off. The air sems kinda cold, but not freezing. i did buy a new dryer/receiver. I mesaured the temp. and it"s at about 60 dgrees. with the engine all warmed up. it's better than not having any at all. What does ur guy's a/c system temp feel like???? is it colder than 60 degrees.????? thnaks. there seems to be no leaks.
