Anyone know the proper belt length to bypass the AC compressor? I have and H22a4 motor swapped into a 4th gen prelude. The compressor is siezed and I need to bypass (at least temporarily). Anyone?

 

Auto parts stores sell a non-AC belt. Just ask them for it. Thats what I did.

 

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know they came without ac. I had picked up a used compressor a while back and was putting off the repair since I haven't really needed ac yet this year, didn't really know how to do it myself and didn't want to shell out the money at the moment. When this happened, it got me off my butt and I swapped out the compressors today. Hadn't ever done this before, but I just went for it. Really wasn't a big deal. It took longer to get to it (ps pump, alternator and right side fan all in the way) than it took to change the compressor. Anyway, problem solved. Any idea what's involved in converting to R34??

Thanks again 2legit !

 

No problem man, you went throught the exact thing I went through. I got a new compressor and let it sit around until my AC pully froze up too! Now as far as the R34 conversion, I'm not exactly sure, but I know they sell a kit at Advance. I think you just screw an adapter to the factory recharge thing and recharge it yourself. It comes with a pressure gauge too.
