hey guys. i know htis is a retarded question, but im sorta curious. i have an 02 civic coupe. it doesnt have air conditioning. i know, pathetic right? haha i was wondering if it is even possible to put a/c into it?

 

Yes, it is possible. Maybe try finding a car link yours in a junk yard, steal all the A/C stuff from it, and toss it on yours. Easier said than done, but it shouldnt be TOO difficult. Just make sure you get everything

 

no, not really, my grandpa has had 3 trucks with ac, and only used it in his current truck once....i dont use my ac, but thats becuase i need a switch or realay, not even the dealer can track down the problem without spending more than my car is worth...lol not really but they cant figure out whats wrong with it...so one of those too is what i need....but like Forty said, thats your best route...it shouldnt be too hard, but you need every last part..and some R-134....or whatever so it actually gets cold....but hey, honda made cars like yours that had ac...so it can do it....its nothing like putting a/c in a 57 chevy or somthing like that

 

haha sorry to bring this from the dead, but what parts will i need? i know i need a condenser, evaporater, compressor, reciever drier, is htere anything else?

 

Lots of little parts. Lines and hoses, wiring harnesses, relays, condenser fan, brackets, etc. Best to find a car like yours in the junkyard and make a deal for the "complete system, everything I need to add A/C to my car that never had it."

There are people who pull the A/C out of their car to make it lighter and thus slightly faster in races, if they're willing to remove everything for you that could be a deal there.

Seek professional help for charging up the system if you've never done it before because you want to be sure the right amount of oil is in it and also remove the air before putting refrigerant in. Buy a new receiver-dryer don't reuse an old one except possibly for leak testing. The receiver-dryer is like an oil filter, it gets used up, especially if you let air into it.
