I have a 1994 Honda Civic Ex with a D16Z6 engine. I have a HF manifold that came off a 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback, and a T3 turbo that came off a 760 Volvo. Will I be able to keep my AC if I use the HF manifold and an adapter plate with the T3 turbo?

If the answer is no, please give me some options that will allow me to keep my AC.

Thanks in advance for all responses.

get a custom manifold built.

 

Based on your response, I presume I won't be able to keep my AC. Do you know any place where I can get a prefabricated manifold to buy?

 

you can...just get creative. check my page in my sig.

 

scttydb411, tell me if my observations are correct. In order to keep my AC, I must do the following:
1. Bolt the turbo more to the left of the HF manifold
2. Rotate the turbo to clear the AC compressor.

Thanks for your response and the pictures.

You might be able to rig a bracket to move the compressor a little more outta the turbo's way. Honestly I'd just lose the A/C. Too much headache.

 

exactly. observations right on.
