Civic EG

hey guys!!

my car got a heater in it and its not useful for me because i live in a tropical country..my questions is can i get rid of the heater? BTW my car is a honda civic 99..i know this forum serves only EG's..but before this car i got a EG sedan 95 carbureted..anyway i hope you can help me since i know other EG's out there has heaters too..thanks guys.

you sure can

You'll need to take out the entire dash to remove the heater core. Also you will need to loop the coolant lines that used to go to the heater core.

But I have to ask, why go through all the trouble? It's not like the heat is taking up valuable space or adding that much extra weight. I think it will hurt the resale value of the car too. I would only do it if this is going to be a track car.

thanks man...but its just i dont to full blast the aircon..because it might break or something out of pressure..because when i put it in the middle..the heater activates..and here in the philippines is very hot..i really dont need it..

anyway i will try to see if i can remove it..cant i just overide some wires to keep it from heating...just by taking/removing some wires from the thermostat?or ecu,fusebox..

Please explain WHY you want to remove parts, when leaving your temp control all the way to COOL isn't enough?? You have Air Conditioning, yes?

and if your engine started over heating, turning the heat on can buy a little time..



definitely not worth the pain in the ass

its not enough bro..its really very hot here in the philippines..so i need to kill the heater..anyway the car is being fixed..i ask them to remove the heater..lets see the changes it will made..thanks

rather than have them physically remove the heater and lower the value of your car, Just have them loop the coolant line that goes to/from the heater core. That way it can be put back to stock.

okay..it seems to be working..but our car has to be brought to the dealer..it has been overheating..and the dealer has to reconnect again the heater hose..so its back..but i think if just remove the hoses it works..

Yeah I think that's the best way to go... So you can reverse it if needed
