There is more problems than the condensor. I believe we are the only company making a kit that will clear the a/c compressor too. So be careful which one you get.

So with your F.F. kit and a 92-00 civic a/c condenser. We should still be able to keep air condition in our cars

So if I get your kit and figure out a condenser. Do you think I could pull it off since your kit clears the compressor?

Before one of you decides to order I will physically place the a/c condensor in my car to make sure that I am right but the way our turbo sits I'm 99.9% the a/c condensor will go in the car with no problem.

That brings me to, yes, if you put a half sized condensor in the car and run new lines for it you could have working a/c with our FF kit.

Bumping to see if anyone here has actually done this. I'm not looking for anyone who has a friend who knew a guy that worked with someone who did this. I'm only looking for personal experience only. Thank you.

i have seen two cars on evom with ff kits and ac honey on boost a really nice setup she has a big thread in the show n shine area and the guy with the full blown ff kit he had a red mr seems like alittle work but i am sure it would be worth it in the end ac is the only thing that keeps me from getting one.
