Do I can instal the B-Séries A/C compressor in my B Séries (B16A2). Its plug and play, or I will modifield the hoses?

I would like this modification, because the D-Séries compressor is Scroll Type (more eficient) and the B-Séries is a Swing Plate, do you confirm this infomation?

Thanks.

Good luck if you're careful and had functioning AC on your single cam you can install a B swap and keep AC without ever even opening up the system.

- Mon Mar 23, 2015 8:10 pm #352785 If you use either one of these brackets it bolts your D series compressor to your B series block literally nothing will change except the belt and bracket. I used a Del Sol VTEC AC belt on mine you may have to try a couple different belts if that doesn't work for you.

I was able to do this on my last car without even opening the AC system. I just unbolted the SOHC compressor from the block and held it out of the way with bungee cords then swapped in the B18C and bolted everything right back on. If you open the system you should at minimum replace the dryer, have the system vacuumed, and recharged. If you spill the refrigerant oil out of the used compressor there is more involved in properly reassembling the AC.

You don't use a B series compressor because then you'd need to make all new custom AC lines. And you'd have to open your system. EconoBox is on point, as usual.
