hehehe

though I don't know why I said condensor, I meant evaporator...

Yeah, I was wondering how good a climate control system would be without A/C.

Hey i was just talking about that w/my friend. Will it be a problem w/a 92 2.3 si. Let me know b/c i do like it better. I'm also doing a h22 head swop soon w/turbo. I'm still thinking on NOS.

you don't need a specific engine to install the Climate Control, I also have a 92Si though I have an engine swap but it doesn't matter

Cool, thats all i needed to know, besides is 50.00 a good price?

I paid 75$ for mine shipped so 50$ is a good price but there are other parts you'll need, I estimated around 250$ in parts, I'll only be able to tell you when it'll be done

E.G.W.W."92" · 07-26-2002, 09:24 PM

Cool kep me posted i will be getting it next fri. or so.

Well I kinda took the weekend off and found some info I needed. I just arrived about an hours ago and I'm now continuing my write up. Also on a side note my rear window defroster is working, I've had the chance to test it this weekend. so right now I have power, ground, recirculation control motor, mode control motor, rear window defroster, light switch (to dim the light when I turn my headlight on) and my A/C is connected but since my evaporator is out of the car I haven't been able to test if it turns on. I'll post a link to my partial write up soon and I'll keep updating it until everything is done.

Well I started my write-up, so you guys can check it out at http://www.jrcormier.com/prelude/jdmclimatecontrol.php I took a few picture that I didn't include in there yet but they'll be there soon. You can email me for any questions, comments, suggestions, etc or just post that in here. My next step will be to make the blower motor work, then I'll play with the air-mix control then I'll connect the sensors and the rest of the wires (or I might do that first since I don't have all the parts to continue right now).

Hope you guys enjoy it and keep checking from time to time, cause I'll be updating my write-up as I continue to connect stuff.

I'm curious to see if the stuff from the CL works...I checked on stuff from a Legend and it was somewhat different. And from some comparisons at the Acura dealer, the Legend was the closest to it.

I went to my "local" Acura dealer (3hrs away) this weekend and I checked in a Helm for the 97 CL and all 4 sensors were the same, like the resistance were the same, phisycally I have no idea, you might have to be a little creative to make it look good.

As for the power transistor, I have no way of telling if they are the same other than trying it but I doubt they are different

The biggest problem here is how to attach the air-mix control motor to the heater unit, if I can't attach it to it I'll just make a braket and attach it somewhere else near where it's supposed to be

Damn incompetent that works at the scrap yard didn't send me the right part, I ask him if he had blower unit cause I need some parts off of it and he said he could only sell it to me as a unit, so I tell him I take it and I just got it and he sent me the blower motor, I was so excited about getting it and be able to continue working on this and now this just pissed me right off!! I'll have to call them tomorrow, they better take that thing back

go pre · 07-30-2002, 08:51 PM

just picked up a jdm control unit off ebay for 50 bucks.. looks like I might try this conversion too. which parts are you positive that you can use from the CL so far? i'd like to start searching for some of the other stuff now while i'm waiting for the unit to get here.

redpreludevtec9 · 07-31-2002, 12:20 AM

are you saying you have to remove the evaporator and the heater blower or just one of them?
