It shows a JDM style install with no visible signs on the interior , other than a grey control under the steering wheel. Its shown in a disassembled state , but you get the idea
Uses a standard Sandem compressor on a semi-custom bracket, various off the shelf ( but all brand new) parts and custom made evaporator box. The evap was the hardest item to source as not even the smallest unit from a current car would fit , not even the smallest Suzukis or Toyotas
The local A/C shop crimped the hoses for me and gassed it all up - money well spent
I also upgraded the stock fan to the Honda one, as suggested on this forum
In hindsight, I can see why the JDM version did not make it beyond Japan - the in-dash space is simply too small to fit a full size evaporator, which leads me to believe why the 260 HVAC was completely redesigned, it has a much bigger, sturdier evap box
It works great in general, but I want to add either the full 240 stock radiator shroud (someone must have one , it was supposed to be standard on autos)
