Detailed Description

Spectra 7-9143 is a replacement A/C condenser built to the same construction style as the original equipment unit and reverse engineered for proper fit upon installation. The aluminum parallel flow core is sized for the listed application and uses female block fittings at both the inlet and outlet. This design supports efficient refrigerant cooling in systems using R12 or R134A. For buyers searching for a Honda Civic A/C condenser, Acura Integra condenser, or a Spectra 7-9143 replacement condenser, this part provides a direct-fit solution for the specified HVAC layout.

This part cross-references UAC CN22302PFC and Dorman HELP 42054 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Leaking condenser core
• Reduced A/C cooling performance from damaged internal passages
• Corrosion or physical damage to the condenser assembly
• Restricted refrigerant flow caused by a failing condenser
• Noise or vibration related to a worn or unstable condenser mount

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify condenser dimensions, fitting style, and refrigerant type before installation. This unit uses female block fittings and does not include mounting hardware, a drier, or an oil cooler. Replace any worn seals, evacuate the system properly, and confirm leak-free operation after installation. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for the Honda Civic or Acura Integra application before ordering the 7-9143 condenser.
