Manifolds allowing AC
 

i searched and search but i must be blind, im pieceing together a kit(duh why else would i be here :P) what maniforlds would allow me to keep my AC on a 2000 civic HX coupe. its running a d16y5 engine. Seriouslly the only thing im' seeing that will alow me to keep my AC is a premade kit which i kinda don't wanna do i like the challenge of making my own kit. Thanks in advanced,

ken

;Da dude on ebay sell them for like 200 bucks real nice almost look like headers or go to www.ssautochrome.com

Re:Manifolds allowing AC
 

Yeah, buy those junk ass manifolds from that dude and let him insult the hell out of you when the POS doesn't fit. Not to mention that manifold doesn't allow A/C and even if he claimed it did it probably wouldn't.

Well is this considered ugly?

about ssautochrome manifolds... there is no way that will let you keep ac. i am using one and you have to get rid of a/c, use a 1/2 rad, and modify the rad mounts. the manifold has good welds but a terriable design. it dosent fit worth crap on a d series. i am only using it because it was almost free.

heh. i wonder if even the obx would get better results if people braced them. i think any sane person would brace the turbo regardless of the manifold..

Re:Manifolds allowing AC
 

i'm using std manifold and i retained my ac. i just moved my condensor fan to the front between fmic and condensor and made my adapter plate where it rotated the turbo. compressor side near ac compressor and dp on passenger side. it's a tight fit and might not work for large ass turbos, but works just fine for me and no rubbing.
here's a picture, sorry it's so grainy:
