This video is great and very helpful! One thing I learned installing an a 98 hx that didnt come with ac from the factory is that in addition to the wiring harness, you have to get relays for the compressor clutch and the condenser fan AND a little diode that sits in the fuse box, which makes the fan work. I was chasing it around for days until I figured it out.
this video is an absolute godsend, as I'm contemplating turning my EJ1 back into a daily but i want A/C back in it if i do. Absolutely love this channel!
how is it that i own 2 volkswagens and im not subscribed to any vw channels but im on here all the time? keep up the videos it makes me want another honda
Great video. I'm going to look at a sedan that has a b20b but no AC. Hoping most of the components are there if not it doesnt seem like too big a deal to install it all.
I bought a rebuilt Honda CX as my first car that I knew didn’t have working AC, which I assumed it was just not installed since it came as optional on that spec model. Come to find out the whole AC system was in it and it was only missing the belt 😅
Did you have to purchase extra wring for behind the dash? or was there already an unused a/c connector behind which you have to connect to an a/c button?
You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days xD
I bought an auto 98 EK with a bad transmission and no AC. I purchased a 99 sedan with the same engine but its a manual with AC. Two things, can I just pull the entire engine and transmission with the accessories and put the newer dash and climate control into the EK or would there be an issue with the computers as both airbags deployed in the sedan, but the EK only has a drivers airbag. Thanks.
I have an all factory 94 EX Coupe. 5 speed, Bought in 1997.... Went with solid motor mounts, street 75A poly on all 4 Innovative mounts. Q. I have very little vibration, until I turn on my factory A/C.. Especially in very hot weather, steering wheel vibrates big time at idle..! Driving no vibration... Is this normal for solid mounts? Do you guys have a solution on eliminating A/C vibration on your cars....? Love my solid mounts, except the A/ C at idle.. My A/C comressor is original factory, but was rebuilt years ago.. Thanks!
Hey man awesome step by step video. I have a question I have a 99 civic si and has no ac I’m missing all the ac lines can I use all ac lines from D series to put on B series? I do have everything else that came with the si like compressor condenser brackets etc. thanks
Hi! Do EKs without a/c from factory have that plug at 0:51? And do I have to get this harness (4:10) from a A/C EK? I already have the evavorator installed behind the dash, so there are places for A/C lines in the firewall.
+Ricardo Gonzalez AC system is .... The compressor, dryer, condenser, condenser fan, pressure switch, hard lines, (under the hood) also evaporator, expansion valve, climate control/AC button (under their dash) and of course wiring harness for the AC system as well as the AC compressor/fan Relays. Also if the system has been open to the air at all it NEEDS to be vacuumed! Before filling with freon to remove any air in the system because once the system is pressurized the air turns to water and that destroys the AC compressor. That's why a new dryer is always recommended because is can't hold to much water.
hello guy's I have a question I have a 90 integra with Jdm b16a obd0 and my problem it's my Knock sensor was broke and I replaced but over 4000 rpms I still get the same code 23 (knock sensor) and some people tell me to switch the knock sensor from obd0 too obd1 but if I do....do I need too replace all wire harness and other idea it's replace the ecu can someone help me
Great video. Just getting ready to do this job. Is you cordless ratchet 3/8. What kind is it, and where did you get it? Also, can you take the a/c bracket off (for the belt) with the compressor still on it? Thanks again.
awesome video! can you guys do one when the car never came with AC from the factory? my car never came with it :( doesn't even have the AC button on the climate control, just fan and heat...
when you have everything installed and before you take the car to a shop to get it properly vacuumed and charged, is there any risk of damaging any of the a/c components on the drive over since the belt is hooked up to the compressor and it is running with the motor? Just wondering in case the oil level of the compressor is low or anything like that if there is a risk of running the compressor vs. just leaving the belt off until its vacuumed and refilled at an a/c shop.
Ah, good point. I hadnt thought about that, that makes sense. Thanks for another good video! I'll be referencing some of this when I re-install the AC in my integra.
I'm assuming you're referring to the lower front torque mount. Most after market solid mount kits do not require them. However they are necessary with stock mounts because they prevent the engine from rotating to much when the engine revs and the clutch engages. They also absorb vibrations as well as keep your engine in place and premature cv axle/ shift linkage wear and failure.
+Honda Street Garage Oh okay. Sucks your work would be appreciated in here California. Idk where your at but here in Southern California, there little car shops. there all shops that ruin your cars worse than it was when it came in. And alot if places over charge. I'm busy with college and have no time for mechanics right now. I'm just trying to maintain m vehicle and restore my body kit and, a/c, and interior. I'd drive up to any shop that does honest hard work . Now that's hard to find these days!
+Honda Street Garage I have a 94 EH9 and has all AC components but the compressor clutch is bad, wanting to replace the compressor but with it being a 22 year old system, any suggestions on what else to replace along with the compressor? maybe the Drier or Condenser or just the compressor? clutch is definetly bad on it, I'd imagine that's why previous owner stopped using it
+Michael C a new dryer,compressor,condenser would make the system work like new. I would even replace the expansion valve ( under the dash attached to the evaporator) and pressure switch. to make sure the system was like new. Most parts are cheap with the compressor being the most expensive part.
its weird to see people putting back ac in there cars and using them still. out here in new mexico one of the first thing people do is remove the ac stuff. not this guy. love my nice cool interior on the hot summer days

In 2024 eks and egs are abudant in junk yards so getting all those pieces is not a hassle
this video is an absolute godsend, as I'm contemplating turning my EJ1 back into a daily but i want
A/C back in it if i do. Absolutely love this channel!
all videos are awesome and well explained. Currently I am swaping a b20 in my ek and I am using all your videos as a guide.... good job.
Thank you! I try to explain things the best I can the way I would like to have explained to me but try not to be boring! Lol
This helped so much with a hatch I just purchased was kind of lost without this thanks for what you do!
Bouta add A/C to my hatch real soon and this video is my guide! Thanks!
so nice to watch a video that is nice and crisp, but not blurry. nice install video
Obrigado por este video , que me ajudou a instalar o A.C completo no meu Honda Civic coupe . Obrigado Portugal
Brazil

how is it that i own 2 volkswagens and im not subscribed to any vw channels but im on here all the time? keep up the videos it makes me want another honda
Thank 👍👍👍

Any video on installing Ac on a eg that doesn't have Ac from the factory ?
i know i have ful a/c parts from a parts car and i need to install onto my e/g...
I'm currently installing ac on a non factory ac 95 Honda civic hatchback. Anyone know the bolt sizes that went with the AC lines and wiring harness?

@Benton Clayton Yup, I have been using Instaflixxer for since november myself :D
I always click like b4 i watch you guys vids 100% love the vids
How much would it cost to put ac back in
The first plug you plugged in
The one that's on the frame
What's that exact name of that plug ? And where does it run down from ?
I bought an auto 98 EK with a bad transmission and no AC. I purchased a 99 sedan with the same engine but its a manual with AC. Two things, can I just pull the entire engine and transmission with the accessories and put the newer dash and climate control into the EK or would there be an issue with the computers as both airbags deployed in the sedan, but the EK only has a drivers airbag. Thanks.
great video keep them coming
What's the full part list? I need to get all the parts to put ac back in an EM1 I just bought
Good video. Thinking about adding ac to my ek hatch.
muy buenos videos (y) saludos desde mexico
I have an all factory 94 EX Coupe. 5 speed,
Bought in 1997....
Went with solid motor mounts, street 75A poly on all 4 Innovative mounts.
Q. I have very little vibration, until I turn on my factory A/C.. Especially in very hot weather, steering wheel vibrates big time at idle..! Driving no vibration...
Is this normal for solid mounts?
Do you guys have a solution on eliminating A/C vibration on your cars....?
Love my solid mounts, except the A/ C at idle.. My A/C comressor is original factory, but was rebuilt years ago..
Thanks!
How much did it cost to have it vacuumed and charged
Hey man awesome step by step video. I have a question I have a 99 civic si and has no ac I’m missing all the ac lines can I use all ac lines from D series to put on B series? I do have everything else that came with the si like compressor condenser brackets etc. thanks

Didnt use new seals?
Do I also needed the condenser relay and inside passenger air box thing behind the glove compartment?
how much would all this most likely cost? because my car was stripper from its ac but I really want to put it back in.
Usually a full system should go for around $250 on eBay. But I've seen systems sell for $50 on a part out. $150 is prob the average price.
+Honda Street Garage okay thanks. what are the parts I would need to do a full install?
+Ricardo Gonzalez AC system is .... The compressor, dryer, condenser, condenser fan, pressure switch, hard lines, (under the hood) also evaporator, expansion valve, climate control/AC button (under their dash) and of course wiring harness for the AC system as well as the AC compressor/fan Relays.

hello guy's I have a question
I have a 90 integra with Jdm b16a obd0
and my problem it's my Knock sensor was broke and I replaced but over 4000 rpms I still get the same code 23 (knock sensor) and some people tell me to switch the knock sensor from obd0 too obd1
but if I do....do I need too replace all wire harness
and other idea it's replace the ecu
can someone help me
do you have a video of turboing a d series and keeping the ac?
w vid
And why EG ac system doesnt brings expansion valve? I understand its: compressor-condenser-expan.valve- and filter
Does the belt go around the engine mount ?
I have a complet AC system from an EG. Who knows if will fit all parts on a del sol?
My favorite part of the vid 6:44
POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO
hi! Will a 96-00 4 door sedan fits the ac system on a hatch?
how much would all these parts cost? I'm trying to see if its worth it to buy this 97 coupe.
Great video. Just getting ready to do this job. Is you cordless ratchet 3/8. What kind is it, and where did you get it? Also, can you take the a/c bracket off (for the belt) with the compressor still on it? Thanks again.
Snap on. 3/8 power ratchet. We got it from a friend. And No you can't really take the bracket off without taking the compressor off first.
should i replace the expansion valve inside the dash?
awesome video! can you guys do one when the car never came with AC from the factory? my car never came with it :( doesn't even have the AC button on the climate control, just fan and heat...
It's not to much harder. Try to find a full AC system with the evaporator and under dash wiring.
good video
is the ef civic similar to this? :( my ef sedan has no ac
when you have everything installed and before you take the car to a shop to get it properly vacuumed and charged, is there any risk of damaging any of the a/c components on the drive over since the belt is hooked up to the compressor and it is running with the motor? Just wondering in case the oil level of the compressor is low or anything like that if there is a risk of running the compressor vs. just leaving the belt off until its vacuumed and refilled at an a/c shop.
No because the compressor will not activate without a charge.
Ah, good point. I hadnt thought about that, that makes sense. Thanks for another good video! I'll be referencing some of this when I re-install the AC in my integra.
where can I find an oem compressor?
Is really important to have the driver side lower motor mouth? If so can u explain me why?

Awesome videos but when y'all going do a full k20 swap on a eg
Hopefully sooner than later! Lol
Honda street garage... do you guys were on cars as a hobby or living? looking for someone to work on my 1994 swapped JDM B16a1 Ex civic.
It all depends. We are not a shop but we work on other cars for work all the time.
+Honda Street Garage Oh okay. Sucks your work would be appreciated in here California.

I'd drive up to any shop that does honest hard work . Now that's hard to find these days!
+Manuel Lopez thank you. We're located in South Carolina.
How do I have someone install this for me?
94 EX Accord Coupe that is.. LOL
Should there be o rings on the ac lines
+bob Martinez yes.
what brand of that gun ?
harbor freight
what if the compresor cycles on and off
It should normally, but if it's a constant on and off... The compressor clutch is bad.
+Honda Street Garage I have a 94 EH9 and has all AC components but the compressor clutch is bad, wanting to replace the compressor but with it being a 22 year old system, any suggestions on what else to replace along with the compressor? maybe the Drier or Condenser or just the compressor? clutch is definetly bad on it, I'd imagine that's why previous owner stopped using it
