No A/C with HF Mani?
is there any way around this? i want to keep my a/c and p/s and still be able to boost my pos d15b7 with my t25. of course i was planning on using an hf mani so i could be cheap but now im reading that you cant keep the a/c.....
all i can guess to do (and remain cheap/ghetto) is to just build an elephant/sinktrap mani using my stock b7 header and move the turbo a bit towards the passenger side or atleast out of the way to clear a/c?

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
thanks, ill talk to him, although im wanting to make my own flanges/adaptors myself to save money
im not spending more than $50 on a manifold. i spend real money on my built gsr, not my dd d15.

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
after actually sizing up things in the bay, im kind of confused as to how im going to make anything work due to the a/c compressor/lines/fan and the radiator fan, not to mention the slave cylinder bleeder. obviously this is new to me but im just not seeing how its possible. i guess i need to look around at some a/c compatable kits on a car *shruggs*

I was talking to a tech at the Honda dealership (who's been working on Honda's for over 20 years, and has turbo'd many Civics), and he said as long as the exhaust housing of the turbo isnt on the same side of the A/C compressor, you can keep A/C....w/a HF manifold.
