Well I've been reading a lot on this, some say 92-00 Civic condenser others say 92-95 Civic condenser. Finding the right Civic condenser ( 92-00 or 92-95) that will fit is the semi-easy part but what else is needed? I hear you need different ac lines too but it's not actually confirmed.

If you want to be sure, call Buschur or AMS. If it has done to and EVO, one of them has probably done it, and can direct you in the right direction

Yeah she does. It's for sale right now but she won't sell it until her turbo kit is sold. I already tried

Check out the main general evo 1 - 9 forum my friend and mechanic built his evo 6 rs with ff. Same manifold that would be used on an 8 or 9. He has ps and ac on a car that's even tighter on space.his user is artyturbo .

Use the evo compressor with a half length custom made or 95-00 civic condenser & custom line...good to go.

U can try ets ff manifold.

Ok so I'm getting mixed opinions here. I am also interested in doing the ff kit. Will my ac work with the one from buscher? Or do I need a condenser from a Honda?

Yes, our FF turbo kit will allow the A/C pump to stay and ALLOW AN AIR FILTER on the turbo. You'd just need to adapt the condensor from the Honda to the car.
