Anyone have any AC Compatable setups?

[HondaBob]

I am not going to part with my AC on my cb7. Just clearing the air by saying that.

I'm looking for some ideas for my setup, and am looking to see if anyone has some AC Compatable setups.

Currently I'm running my dsm turbo kit with ac. It's a good setup, however I'm looking to upgrade my turbo to my sc60. I'm trying to stay away from a log manifold especially since my power goals may hit over 400 some day this summer.

So, post up your boosted A/C setups

You'll basically need to have a custom manifold fabricated and everything should fit. You may need to switch to a half size radiator too.
I don't think there is any off-the-shelf manifolds that will allow you to run that turbo and air conditioning.

I'm not scared to build a manifold, I just am short on time thats all.

Thanks for the imput.

Anyone else?

this may help, there are a couple of pics in there

since you know how to TIG, the possibilities are endless

but i've seen logs hold up to 500hp. no idea how inefficient it is, but its possible. buy a log mani, cut off t3 flange, TIG whatever flange is needed for sc60

Lol.

Sc60=t3

I may just build a log manifold. eew.

Yeah I'm curious too. I am soon to be turbo but will not if I cannot find a a/c p/s compatible setup. Has anyone tried the treadstone kit? will it work with a/c. I know I'd lose some heat exchanging power with the front mount and condensor than radiator. I would also like a bolt on setup. I'm not interested in a piece together or fabbed up setup. Sorry I know...... lazy but I just don't have the time.

I have the complete setup...power steering and half size condenser and it worked great...I have to post my current build with it installed...welll you gonna have to piece together one side of the ac house and the other aluminum tube...the condenser fits perfectly in the same location at the other one

if you want ac go with a built motor and nitrous IMO. Ac and a good turbo setup could be done, but it would just be a pain in the ass. you can make goobs of power with nitrous and a built motor.

Yes if you look at the piping you will see the bends are designed to go around the condenser and up to the turbo. And also, http://www.vecco.com makes the same kit as well. I believe they are the originators, as Treadstone offers more than one brand for different items and Vecco is straight up Turbonetics

I've already built one a/c setup for my car and it wasn't to bad. Actually 2. I got everything figured out in my head, just need more money start putting it together.

I'm not a fan of nitrous.. It costs too much to maintain plus it doesnt make cool turbo sounds.

Ive got a/c with half radiator and log mani setup. Only big obstacle with this is the room for the downpipe.

[cavemancb7]

that traction bar setup from esp motorsports looks like it would clear up some much needed room... i also will not give up my ac, i live in one of the hotter climates around and no ac is a no no.

im going to look at the bobs dsm setup because im going to use the dsm setup eventually as my first boost project

[Saidaigen8]

The traction bar clears a bit more room underneath and with the torque mount you drastically reduce wheel hop, considering the fact you have to remove the stock mount for everything to fit.

[quickangel93]

any dsm setup clears the a/c compressor. just use header wrap on the dp
