when removing the AC system what do i do about the extra slack in the belt? get a new 1 or wat?

 

extra slack....i never had any extra slack?
what are you removing the AC from?

 

well like i havnt attepted to do it yet but i got a d16y8 and i want to take ALL out the ac radiator the ac compressor where the belt goes along and shitstuff, i just thought after takin the ac compressor off u have to put somthin inplace of where it was cause then ull have extra belt (where the ac compressor was) idk i feel like im blabin on so tell me wat u think or if im wrong correct me

 

am i wrong? overthinking?....

 

ANYONE!??!?!?

 

The slack in the AC belt? Take the compressor off and remove the belt.

 

well seeing as the belt drives the compressor and u are taking that off it would mean u dont need belt dude. i only run with an alternator belt. If u dont have a/c hooked up then y keep the belt on.

 

The belt that runs the AC only runs the AC. I think you think that it runs something else... it doesnt. It does go around a tensioner pully, but that is not needed when you remove the AC...

Now break that biotch apart and kill some penguins... you have nothing to fear.

 

man wtf was i thinking hahah ok sweet how much of a power gain and weight loss would i have? any 1 calculate this?

 

don't even think about it.. most people who remove the A/C system do it because they are turboing their car and need the extra space... the rest are pretty much delusionall.. i'm not trying to offend anyone but most people remove A/C for the wrong reasons... sure if it's a track car who needs A/C anyway... but for a street car unless you turbo, don't touch your A/C because it's not worth it

 

What year/model car are you removing the ac from? I am looking for a complete ac system for a 1994 civic dx? You can email me at ncnative96@yahoo.com

 

A/C owns in <U>TEXASS</U>

 

dont take the damn a/c out. i did that in my first EG and totally regretted it because i sold it after. in my current EG, i put A/C in it... it didn't come with it from the dealer. the difference in weight is equal to about 0.05-0.1 on the 1/4 mile. the shipping weight for a complete A/C system is 40 lbs. if you need power, there is a secret button on the dash. once you push it and the light turns off, you will have power...labeled [A/C]

 

yea def. keep the a/c..all you gotta do is hit the ac button

:-( it makes the engine bay look oh sooo clean though and i got to have 1 thing that looks good on a 4dr haha at least mine i wish i had a hatch or a 2 dr props to u that have them im not dissin the 4dr i love it fun car to drive and work on i have learned alot pullin the engine and **** i just wish i were still in hs so i could swap (all this my senior year) that would been fun pissin off all my import buddies with a 4dr civic

 

I thnk you are thinking of a serpetine belt system. Older hondas don't have serpentine systems. They have separate drive belts that drive the AC, power steering, and the alternator. Some newer hondas, however, have a serpentine system that uses one large belt for all accesories

 

yup i was thinkin about a diff car...idk y but ya....lol im an i d 10 t

 

another thing, i dont think i really need ac hhehe i live in MI, right now im in saginaw for college, but i live down in Novi, if it gets hot ill roll all 4 windows down hahah plus im looking to make my engine bay clean and nice for the summer and then i wanna buy a hatch shell and swap the D16 in that cause my engine has like no miles on it

 

screw A/C. I have so much more room to work in the engine bay now.

plus it gives me more options for turbo manifolds...and if i were thinking about the resale value of the car i wouldn't do anything to it

 

do u got any pics?

 

of my engine bay without the A/C? Yeah.
