retaining ac w/ hf manifold
Please tell me why this would/would not work. BTW, this is in a 90 CRX. What if you made an adapter plate from an hf manifold to some piping, then made a plate from the piping to the turbo to relocate the it. I'm thinking maybe move the turbo to around where the battery is and relocate the battery. I didn't put much thought into this, I'm just curious if it would work. The reason I need to retain a/c is because it gets 110+ deg here in the summer. Rolling the window down is almost pointless cuz the wind is ------- hot and doesn't really help except to let out the 150 deg heat that buids up in your car when you park for extended periods of time. I would just buy a turbo manifold that supports a/c, but the nature of this site is to come up with homemade ---- and I am just curious if this would work.
thanks
thanks

Re:retaining ac w/ hf manifold
wow, pretty neat idea... have a pipe coming off the HF manifold that jets over towards the battery where you can locate the turbo... very cool idea. I don't see why this wouldn't work. I wonder if you would have any lag?
One thing I'm almost sure would happen is the temperature under the hood would increase due to the more exhaust piping... It would be smart to have the exhaust pipe wrapped up

That idea is a lot like Jeff's ZC mani, except no matter how hard you try to make that Hf mani look sexy, Jeff's mani will always look sexier. I wish I had, what waas it like 6 or 8 hundred bucks he spent on the mani? Shish, his mani is like our COMPLETE turbo kit and enough for a bag of chips.

Re:retaining ac w/ hf manifold
people say that humidity makes it feel hotter, but i dont know. i gotta go with turbodelsolman in az. dry heat ------- sucks. i also live in the middle of the desert(las vegas), and on hot days it gets like 115+. its so ------- hot that if i park my car at a mall for a couple of hours then come back to it, i have to open all of the doors and the hatch and let it vent for like 10 mins. i would leave the windows down a little, but theres too many car jacking ------ haters around here. dont even think about touching the steering wheel or aluminum shift **** without having gloves on unless you want to get serious burns, no bullshit. but anyways, i feel for anyone who has to deal with this kind of heat with no a/c. actually, my a/c has been broken since last year, but i am going to fix it cuz i dont feel like frying this summer.

Re:retaining ac w/ hf manifold
------- pussies. It gets to be 128+ here and I haven't had A/C for three years now. Horsepower robber. I tore that ---- out to gain 2 horsepower and loose 35 pounds.
J/K, I got into an accident and lost it. I wish I had A/C. It's ------- hot here
