Cabin air filter

[S Swap]

I was asked this question earlier today, and I thought I'd ask here:

How hard would it be to retrofit a ventilation system from a newer accord with a cabin air filter into our cars?

I realize that could be quite difficult, so my second question is: if I started cutting, where would be a good place to put it? I was thinking right before the evap coil, but that would still require removing the glove box to get to it.

Ideas?

a lot of dash modification would be required to the point it would not be a quick or easy project that might not get done

have you checked for any threads regarding dash swaps?

No, I intending to keep my current dash, or swap to an SE dash.


This will only happen if my heater core goes out, btw.

An evaporator coil modification would be required. The dash would stay the same and not get touched or even removed for the mod.

You would not modify the dash at all. Why the hell do you think that?

The cabin air filter on most hondas goes infront of the evaporator coil. It really wouldn't be hard to do now that i think about it.

I think he was talking about the entire ventilation system.

From R12 to R134? I thought you just had to change some fittings, drain the old stuff, change the drier and add the R143?

x2 on changing the drier. I'd recommend doing it anytime you open the system for more than a few hours.

let me clear this up quick

my 76 Vega never had a/c so that car would need a retrofit

i fully understand now what the OP was saying

now if a member could come up with a workable diy to put a cabin air filter in, i'll use my car as the guinea pig

Well, have you ever had your glove box or evap coil out?

The evap coil is immediately behind the glove box. There are 2 straps and 4 nuts that hold it in, as well as 2 ac lines. Disconnect all that and you'll have space for something.

The ac lines and 100 degree heat kept me from actually pulling it. I simply popped off the metal clips, pried it open, and stuck a shop vac in there.

I hate going into honda tech, but some dude did a write up on a Cabin Air Filter Retrofit on a Del Sol. Im trying my darness to wrap my mind around the concept to make it work for my 92CB7. Anyone?

[305wagon]

Heres a write up on a cabin air filter retro fit on a EK civic. im guessing the concept would be the same depending how the CB dash is made?
