Thanks Kaz for mentioning SB-91-016, lots of interesting AC stuff there due to the r-12 to 134 conversions (if you read it he-he). Looks like they added 1.5 oz oil to all R-12 cars. Regarding the available Denso 471-1424 unit which seems to be the pick for R-12 cars. I assumed this $250 unit...

Didn't see what year you have. I am perhaps a rare exception, but in my opinion the first gen 92 abs is terrible. They did their best but it was just too early tech to work well. I once slid well into an intersection because of a little bit of loose road material. Scared the absolute hell...

My compressor was original R-12. Couldn't find a new denso japan, so had to settle for a new denso china ($250-ebay) 471-1424 which i believe is the same 10PA15C my 92 came with. Denso's site "says" they all come with the original charge. Thanks for oil tag definers which will make me feel...

Since i have the comptech headers, i have ordered the late model bracket and pulley assy which i understand will get the compressor a whole 8mm (he-he) farther away from the header. I have long ago stocked in a bunch of R-12 and plan to stay with it. I purchased a rebuild kit for my OE...

I recently purchased the ATR-Racing rear window from Austria.

A sort-of HONDA related heater core story – 1968 still in high school working as a night mechanic/gas pumper at a US PURE gas station. I was riding to work on a Honda 305 scrambler and a customer with a 60-something mustang 289 wanted to race me, or maybe my big mouth was an issue(?) After about...

It's a larger Denso size 20 part # 471-1181(partsgeek #) and as stated the pulley is not correct. I'm liking the sound of that rebuild kit all of sudden, but i'm now trying to get a handle on the 3.0/3.2 mountings. I'm seeing there are different comp bracket part no's and now wondering if the...

Refurbishing the AC system on my 92. Staying with R12. I see folks recommending Integra and Legend units to save money or get a bit more capacity. I jumped the gun and purchased a legend unit and see it is not the right bolt pattern and will return it. So i need to go to school on my options...

I just did discover the method to release the upper AC compressor elec connector. Sorry i need to pause a bit before i bother the the group. Since it appears almost impossible to release this push type connector by hand, i tried using a very long medium screwdriver from the bottom placed right...

Embarrassed to ask this, but I can’t figure out how to disconnect the top portion of the AC compressor wire. I “think” I know how to get the lower portion of the connector off the oil stick bracket which I know will have to come out, but I first have to get the top connector off. Is this “pinch...

I stand behind my all comments above, BUT i just ordered this bracket. I will fabricate a new "under" mount to replace the uprights and catch the other OE bolts just to make this a 100% design IN MY OPINION. Even without my mod,s the side mount will almost certainly keep this bracket from...

"Billet" simply means they cut it from a whole piece of aluminum (which they always do), likely a 6000 series and not expensive at all. It's not a type of material. Some "billet" parts used a stronger than average grade of aluminum, but the difference between a high and low strength aluminum...

I should say that i have not actually pulled an NSX engine yet, but from the manual pic's there are 4 motor mounts that likely take all the vertical load and "should" take the side load as well. But i'll not question Shigeru for providing an added "side" mount to keep our monster from jumping...

It's my understanding that the old HKS units are exactly as stock except 1/4" larger thru-out. What do we know about the R exhaust? I'm guessing that HKS perhaps copied the R unit (?)

Starting to gather parts for a 3.2 build and noticed the Foundry bracket. Haven't yet gotten an email response and their site initially showed it was not available, but it now shows the ability to order so it may be available. Based on an old thread about smaller lighter alternators, i don't...
