Hf manifold / what turbo to use
 

I have a 2000 civic and i want to use the Hf manifold. I plan on getting an adapter plate made from BmC Racing. My question is which turbo will allow me to still have my AC. I wanted to get a T3 but i am thinking that is way to big and i will have to get rid of my AC.

Hint: turbo has nothing to do with keeping your AC. You will need to make an adapter plate that is angled away from your compressor. There is some dude on here that did it and has pics. Talk to him.

that'd be me. you can't use too large a turbo and you'll need to fabricate your plate to rotate the turbo from the block to clear the ac. rhb5, tdo4, td05, small t3, etc should be able to work. you just will have to get in there and hold everything in there to see how it'll have to be made.

it's definately easier to do w/o ac...and use a larger turbo, but it just depends on your goals.

my goal was to no sweat my ass off in the summers here in the south and for my wife to still want to ride in the car. i do have a larger turbo for the time that i'm no so much a pu##y and will ride w/o the ac...only a matter of time before i decide to use that one.

good luck.
