My current project: JDM Climate Control - Honda Prelude Forum

Forbidden · 07-23-2002, 09:04 PM

Well guys this is my current project

I just started installing it in the car this evening (for about 30 minutes) but I ran out of connectors (I'm planning on soldering the wires when everything will be done)

So far I wired the power, ground, recirculation motor and mode control motor (partially, that where I ran out of connectors)

Also I didn't hook the memory yet so is that why I have to press a button so I can see the stuff on the display?

It's gonna be fully functionnal soon, not in the next few days cause I still need a few parts but trust me on this it'll be fully functionnal

EDIT: For those who don't want to read the whole thread and just want the write-up, here's the link: http://www.jrcormier.com/prelude/jdmclimatecontrol.php

you get all the sensors when you bought it?
you'd be rich if you could do this again if ya know what i mean

Very cool, how much is the JDM unit?

fourthgeneration · 07-23-2002, 09:13 PM

i hope you got the sensors too....

please keep us updated..

evoandy · 07-23-2002, 09:40 PM

whoa sweet!!! where did you get your hands on that!? or more importantly, how much did it cost?! man, thats sweet. Keep us updated.... thats a really cool upgrade.

make us a wiring diagram!

Well I bought the unit for 75$US shipped, it came with only one sensor, the interior temperature sensor but I'm not worried about that

I'm gonna continue working on it tomorrow after work at least finish the easy stuff and friday/this weekend I'm gonna do a little searching for the parts I need, I could get them all but I still need about 250$US in parts so I'm looking for better price and stuff

H22aPoweredBatMobile: I got your PM but I'm going to bed right now so I'll get back to you tomorrow, if I forget send me another one

damn man...that looks nice...I hate when my friends with the new accords go "hey can your car do this?" ::adjusts the climate:: its annoying! nice JDM look man...

SikRedRX-8 · 07-23-2002, 11:45 PM

Will you be able to do a write up and tellus everything we need to do to get it to work? I am sure there are more people besides myself who are dying to know how. Thanks alot

munscher · 07-23-2002, 11:53 PM

yo, that is sweet... been thinking about gettin a climate control unit myself, but worried about how hard its gonna be to install... a write up would be perfect!

Devoe · 07-24-2002, 12:04 AM

Nice job! Looks so much better than the standard heating controlls. Where did you find the wireing schematic? I know it's allready been said, but a write up would be so nice. It looks really good. Big up's!

dust that dash...

j/k looks good

yellowh23a · 07-24-2002, 02:18 AM

I had a JDM cc in my car for over a year and a half, looks sweet but a total waste of money. I fooled with it once or twice... soder all the blk wires from them jdm & usdm harnesses, these are your ground wires, next soder the blk/yel wires from both harnesses together ... this is your power. The wht/yel wires will be memory. As for the rest? Donno. If someone could get their hands on a Japanese Prelude manual, that would help. It would have wiring diagrams in it. Would just need it translated ... no big deal. But good luck!

Yes guys I'll do a write up

I'll even make you guys a nice wiring diagram with the USDM/JDM differences on it (like where to cut/splice/add wires)

yellowh23a: I already got more than the power and ground done, I haven't connected the memory yet cause there are no wires for that in the USDM connector and I'm doing those first since they are the easiest, just cut from old connector and crimp with the new one

as for the dust on the dash it's cause I was waiting for spring to clean the interior of the car but since I was supposed to get my car painted I haven't done it yet

it's getting painted in a week and a half

post pics when done... keep us updated

brendon2k · 07-24-2002, 01:05 PM

So what else are you look for that is going to cost you 250 besides the rest of the sensors?

U.K VTEC · 07-24-2002, 01:30 PM

Good luck with the project Jean, I hope it works out well

Forbidden · 07-24-2002, 02:30 PM

brendon2k: well there's the air mix control motor, a transistor, water valve with the solenoid and stuff and the sensors. I think that's about it

U.K VTEC: Thanks man

You've been a great help

Forbidden · 07-24-2002, 07:28 PM

Well I continued connecting some other stuff, I finished the mode control motor and hooked up the rear window defogger and A/C, I can't tell you if they work though since my A/C was empty, and there's no fog in my rear window

I also removed my A/C condensor and heater blower, I think this is one step that'll make a line between the boys and the men

Right now I'm kinda stuck since I need a few parts to continue, I should get them this weekend or in the middle of next week

I took a few pics I'll try to put them online sometime this week
