never heard of doing anything like that. I think it's turbo or a/c you might just have to pick one or the other

generally, having AC depends on the turbo size and more importantly which turbo manifold is on the car. I currently still have AC in mine but I took it out of the last car. Like i said, its really dependent on the turbo/manifold combo

never heard of it.

Get an A/c friendly manifold/turbo/downpipe set-up and re-install your a/c

OT- hey gready civic I couldn’t help but see you sig....10lbs of boost and your only making 225hp? I guess I just got spoiled with bigger displacements honda engines. 10lbs of boost in a stock f22 will make 75 to 100hp more. I guess that when stroke comes into play...plz don't take this as a diss cus it's not..I'm just shocked/interested that civic engines don’t make more power than that

two things. One, 10lbs is relative based on turbo. Secondly, you do realize that a stock d16y8 makes 105whp IF youre lucky. Id say making 120whp more and well over 100wtq more at 10psi pretty decent

well yeah I know 10lbs on one turbo can be diff. than another. But I was just shocked...just f22a1 engine on a good day are making 125hp...but can make 280-325hp with 300tq stock...I mean internals and all...Your d is only making 20hp less in stock form. I guess it's all in stroke at the point. Sorry I didn’t mean to diss you or anything..I respect you for doing all that work...I'm just still learning about yalls tourkless engines. Like I said I’m spoiled with the “big boy” Honda engines
