Hi. According to EPC, Accord CA5 with B20A2/A8 engines used to have Denso Compressor type 10P15C (part number 38810-PH3-013).

I'm planning to install A/C into 2nd gen Prelude with B20A1 engine and I'm completing parts. Since B20A1 is almost the same engine as B20A2/A8, I assume that compressor from Accord would fit. If I only could find one - unfortunately this part is hardly available in Europe (even in scrap yards).

Do you have any knowledge about any bolt-on replacements?
I have found a little information that 10P15C was also used in Mercedes W124/W126. Does anyone know if it is exactly the same as in Accord? I've heard that although the type is the same, compressors aren't interchangeable...

I'd be grateful for any help...
