how much of a difference does taking out your a/c and power sterring.

 

bump.

 

I wouldnt remove my power steering for the sake of having poor handling. IMO dont do it.

 

ive heard up to 5hp from the ps but if you turn your ac off theres no drag on the motor its more of a weight thing. i took mine out to clean up the engine bay looks alot better in my opinion without all the exeses crap. but im sure 10 people will tell you not to. in the end its up to you oh yea search!
how does it give you poor handling??? and what the hell does imo mean?

 

i remove my a/c, for not only does it pose parasitic drag on the motor, but it weighs like 50 pounds or more im not sure. the ps only weighs like 10 lbs. i also keep powersteering because im lazy and dont want to have to bother with no ps anymore

 

I HEAR YA IVE DRIVEN CARS WITH NO P/S THEY SUCK I GUESS IM JUST TO LAZY BUT I CAN LIVE WITH NO A/C.

I would only remove them if you are building a drag car or you want more clearance like a turbo or something.

Yeah, if it's just a daily beater or even a daily beater/weekend warrior I would leave them both in cause being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic at 4:00 Pm and it being 85 out side sucks without A/C. Now if it just a track car then go for it.

 

the only reason i removed my AC is b/c it was busted. if it was working, i would've kept it.

 

well i dont have ps in my hatch... it didn't come with it... i dont plan on putting it on either....jus the fact that my forarms got cocky *** **** LMAO... i really dont mind driving without it

The only "Honda" I ever had that had p/s is my DA... if u wanna take it out u have to get a non p/s rack and pinion. As far as ur ac, if it's ur daily u need to consider how hot/humid it is where u live... if I didn't have ac where I live I would shoot myself in the face.

 

are you trying to win prize money at drag or race events? If not then whats the point?

 

Personally i removed my power steering for the "feel" of how the car drove and steered. Not becuase it was a heavy item, or i was stripping the car down. I like the stiffer feel. with the powersteering the wheel felt like it was effortless to turn and didn't seem like i could really feel the road. The higher the speed, the more sloppy it felt.
A\C on the other hand my car never came with. I do have a sunroof though.

 

i just took of my power sterring cus i feel more in control.and the the a/c i need i live in miami!

 

A/C creates practically no drain on power unless you have the A/C switched on.

P/S frees up a couple of HP at most. I don't like power steering, and my car never came with it.

 

if you a tough guy take off the power steering too ... a/c uh just roll down the windows

 

get rid of the new a/c and do like the subaru spec-c does... get a roof scoop for air conditioning, and power steering is overrated
