Default AC

Hello is it possible to install an aftermarket air conditioner into a 94 eg civic? I understand if this is possible it will be a big job. Thanks

Check around for someone stripping out their car... you can find all the pieces you need. A bit of work to fit the blower and evaporator in....but its factory stuff so you know it'll fit. After your done take it to a shop for a vacuum and refill. Cold air for summer!!!!!

hes right you could do that but what year is your car is the rafrigerant r12 in the year you car was made or does it have 134a if its got r12 you would be better off changing the system to 134a or going ac less.

I put an A/C in my 1994 F-150 for about $800. ackits.com sells aftermarket air conditioning. I bought mine from them and installed it myself. After you install it you have to take it to an a/c shop or mechanic to get it filled. The mechanic I took mine to swore that it was factory air. The kit includes everything you need including new switches, belts, etc. Mine has been in for 4 years and had no problems. I checked the price for your civic and it is $770 plus shipping. Mine blows about 40 degrees on max a/c

i saw a guy parting out a bunch of stuff on eBay. he had advertized an item as a heater core, but it was really the A/C box from inside the car. he had a blower motor and a bunch of other stuff listed too. i'm thinking it was for a 92-95. i had done my search for "95 honda civic" just to see what was out there.
