Fitting AC to a DC2 Integra

[acme]

I know from factory AC was an option on the DC2 and one you could have fitted at a Honda dealer.

Has anyone had it fitted since, and if so could they advise on cost?

As the car was shipped without and it was added at the dealer I assume all the pipework is there even on those without, but the condenser/compressor/evaporator added.

Cheers in advance

I'd imagine there will be nothing ac related on the car and everything was added at the dealer. Not what you want to hear as it'll be a lot of parts to buy.

No, you're right!

I'm fairly familiar with AC in another car and the issues etc on old cars. I know it cost £1k back in the day as a mate had one fitted when the car was a year old, was hoping with pipes etc there it's an easier job!

Appreciate to some on an ITR AC would seem like heresy! But I always like AC on my cars where possible, especially on one with as much glass as an Integra.

I wonder how much the total AC components weigh on it, perhaps Honda did as per Lotus on their S2 Elise and made them super light, I seem to recall 18kg.

Total weight is ~19kgs for all of it.

I’m at ~50kgs out of my UK car now whilst being sensible and retaining full interior and carpet- so weight is now very similar to a Clio 182

Helps to offset the meagre torque figure and it certainly feels all the more lively for it

Strewth, 19kg is superb! Well worth it in my eyes, but on a car as light that's almost 2%!

As a percentage that's huge, what else other than the AC have you taken out?
