Relocating A/C?

Is there anywhere to relocate or move down the A/C compressor on our cars? I have a TDO5 turbo and the intake side hits it on one side and if I move it the down pipe will hit it. I just need to move it down some, I don't think it will be to bad. What can I do?

make a custom bracket that puts it lowe, but remember you are gonna have to play with the bracket a lot so you can continue to use the same belt. or you could make the bracket, disregard belt length, and then search all over the place for a belt that fits. i would measure the locations of all the bolts on the bracket, and then hold the compressor where it will clear your turbo setup, and put the belt on and pull the compressor until the belt is sorta tight, that way you get a feel for where you want it, and then take measurements. itll be hella easier if the motor isnt in the car. but your gonna have to go strictly monster garage on it

Do they make different lengths of air conditioner belts? Where do I get the brackets?

take it off......who needs ac?

yes they make different length A/C belts. you will have to do trial and error for that one, and get a helpful automotive parts guy to get you a couple of honda belts and let you compare them to the stock one. of course, if you only need to move the compressor a small amount, then the stock belt might fit, since theres enough slack in it to get it on all the pulleys before you adjust the tensioner.


as far as brackets go, you will probably have to make your own bracket, because i dont recall any stock brackets that hold the compressor in a lower position
