i want to remove my a/c from my 91 honda civic si..i am goin for go n show.....the thing is that my ac is not really not workin right....it leaks if i fill it with r12 or & 134a soo in stead of wastin money gettin it fix....also n e one got pics of ur ride with no a/c?

 

just start by removing the compressor

then you will need to remove the front cooling thingy... it's behind the bumper

then all the lines.

then the wiring..

 

the condensor

 

how much hp should i get if i also remove it?.....i am also in belgium near france n the allof the honda cars r different here....they all have side markers n also clear cornors n also stuff....

 

i don't know if you'll be gaing hp.....you're just reducing weight.....i think around 40-45 lbs.....i think....don't quote me on that.

 

n e one got a lay out(pic) of the a:c removal? n n e tips?

 

it's pretty straight foward, remove the belt, condensor w/ brackets, dryer can in drivers side front fender, ac cooler/radiator, ac lines..... anything you unplug from any ac components just neetly ziptie to the side of your radiatior. the lines next to your evap can on the firewall are a bitch to get off. i just removed mine for my b16 swap.... freed up lots of space, donno if it helps w/ cooling or hp though.... i also removed the ac fan... no need for it although you could prolly wire it into the same circuit as your reg fan and run both at the same time for more cooling.

 

haha if you lucky maybe 2hp

 

(haha if you lucky maybe 2hp) haahaa....but the more the better

 

NEED MORE INFO....pics please...

 

make sure you have the system evacuated first though...and I'm interested in buying one of the hoses off of you...the one that goes from the reciever/drier(cylinder behind driver headlight) and goes down to the condensor.

 

here's your pics.

this is the wireing for the condenser and the ac fan.... i just rolled them up and ziptied.


this is the pipe i cut it's next to that red power wire... the lower pipe you should be able to wrench off.


and here's the pic of my ac fan removed....

 

None. AC only robs you of HP if it's on. Just turn it off when you're going to race. As for a weight savings... the whole thing, condensor, pump, hoses, wiring... only weighs about 40 lbs. I say leave it in unless you're trying to stuff a turbo in there.

 

i am tryin to add A/c into my 92 hatch with a b18. can someone tell me what mount i use??? do i use a DOHC delsol AC mount???

 

i was told that there were some more a/c components behind the passenger side foot area where the ecu is???? or maybe behind the dash somewhere, anyone know if thats true?

 

On EG's there is the a box that the AC lines in the engine bay hooks into at the firewall. Im pretty sure its the same way on a CRX, tho I havent looked. On a EG that box weighs in at around 40lbs, BUT I believe it distributes the heat too, so you cant take it out.

Heres a pic of my CRX with AC removed.
