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...

Having retired from a large electric utility where we see lots of things catch fire, i sleep better having less things plugged in(or maybe it's those Tesla fire videos he-he). So i love just having a simple switch on the negative cable as suggested above, but i don't have a radio, so i don't...

Not to denegrate Brian K's fine work as i was not aware he was doing them, so i recently had MITA of Japan rebuild my unit. It is done by Honda techs and they have a test module to test every function. This "tester" was a Honda tool part at one time so perhaps Brian has one or made his own...

Already had a new evap, heater core and compressor hoses coming from ATR before i heard about Joe G but i will certainly contact him for a seal kit or more. I've had comptect headers for most of the cars life and as i recall they come worryingly close to the compressor so thanks drew for the...

This kind of gets into whether you like to sit low or high and whether you will ever need to wear a helmet. While of course sitting low gives a slightly lower center of gravity, but i've personally always liked to sit a bit high, better visibility and can better see those sexy fenders and for...

I see evaporators are available for 93 up, mines a 92. Will the newer model work? For the planning ahead, I assume my hard lines should be good and i'll only have to do the rubbers? I've already done most all hoses, but of course i didn't want to mess with a working AC system. I did purchase...

I have as set of dealer Microfiche from WAY back - 7 cards which is "think" is a complete set for 91 thru 96. Now that online folks like AcuraPartsWarehouse may not keep the parts listings forever, i'm thinking about having them digitized. Of course these cards will likely not include any...
