1996 honda accord with the f22b1 vtec and i am wondering if i delete the ac and ps how much of a hp gain i will get?

 

Negligable to upwards of 3hp.
When your AC is not on it is simply a pulley going round, very little restriction there.
When you are not turning (like in a drag race), the PS provides little more than circulating fluid. This also is not much unless work is being preformed by the system.

 

Don't delete them. Giving up those two luxuries for a negligible gain isn't worth it at all.

 

most people do it to either clean up the engine bay or make room for a boost setup. the gain in HP is negligible.

 

to add to aug post, they do that for cleaning up the bay but there are also plenty of manifolds that allow ps and ac with the turbo. Its not worth deleting either of those two things especially if they're working properly. If you want to know what youll gain, take the belts off of the ac and ps and sit back and laugh a little haha. Then you'll know if its worth your time

 

i did take the belts off and i did notice a small difference in hp

 

well thats all you can expect. If you ever decide to sell the car the new purchaser may not enjoy the missing system but its all in what you want

 

it can also depend more on how much power the vehicle currently has. if your car has low hp, it can make a slightly bigger difference. if your car is already making a bit more over stock, its really not worth it.

on my vx i can tell a pretty good difference when the a/c is on/off but i think i had other issues too and i highly doubt i was making anywhere near the 90hp its rated at from the factory. we'll see how well it does after i'm done with my current rebuild.

 

Does that include reduction of weight or just less resistance to the engine?
