ok.. if some1 were to attempt to RETAIN AC in an EF (88-91) civic/crx what turbo would be ideal?

projekteg

a/c isn't so much dependent on the turbo as it is the manifold and downpipe. just ditch the a/c, it doesn't get hot in canada.

gets just as hot here as it does in NC kevin...

ya i know the manifold is a the main part for ac clearence. but what turbo positions the inlets/outlets best? mainly i guess would be the compressor outlet.

downpipe will be custom off of the flange.. it will be made to fit.

you can clock and rotate any turbo to fit how you need. with a suitbable turbo for your engine, you will have no problems with clearing the a/c depending on your manifold.

how bout an IHI RHB5 ? d16a6

ya i know i can rotate/clock a turbo... but ive seen some turbos that have the compressor outlet go out sideways.. like a 90* bend.

I think that rhb5 would work good.They are really,really small.
As long as you dont want top end power youll be ok.

Second option would be a t25 because it has that curved outlet.

ya only lookin for 6-8psi.. d16a6.

anyone got pics of one of these things..?

i'd go with a .48/.60 t3 if your gonna make a custom manifold, you can make it fit.
