y8 turbo and keep a/c??

ive been hearing that you cant expect to keep a/c if turboing a y8...or at least not if you dont relocate the compressor or whatnot...

is there any combination of exhaust mani + dsm turbo (14b...t25) that will clear the a/c comp on a y8 (and clear everything else at the same time)

im looking for a home made setup not a full kit

for example, will hf mani + t25 clear a/c?

help an FI newbie out

o yea..97 civic coupe EX with a/c, ps...all that good stuff

I don't think HFs will clear the A/C. Look into getting log manifolds if you want to clear the A/C system. There was a project on a 96 coupe that they cleared the A/C on.

Use the search button too. Otherwise you'll get flammed everytime you ask a question that's been covered a million times.

You can keep a/c on just about any motor if the manifold+turbo combination is right.

With a HF manifold and typical adapter plate, you won't clear a/c. Just buy an a/c compatible log manifold.
