Does removing the power steering actually benefit anything?

 

reduce weight and if you are actually racing your car, it give a better feel for the road.

 

People have claimed a 3whp increase across the rpm band. (dyno tested)

The power steering is already removed I was just wondering if it actually benefited the car and its whp at all.

 

No power steering will increase muscle strength n an appearance of buldging shapes of the arm.

J/K 3 hp increase n less weight, don't be intmidated when u have to park, you'll get used to it.

 

while we are on the subject of removing things. What about the A/C and cruise control.......?

 

I hear the AC total is around 50lbs, not bad.

I beleave you have to buy a part to keep the airflow functional though, I beleave its off of the 97 ITRs that had optional AC.

However most people dont wanna take out their engine to do this. lol

 

hey guys my power steering broke one day when i let my friend drive my car. when i popped the hood the two bolts holding the pump on were broken so it fell down a few inches and i guess the belt just fell off. but anyways i like it without power steering as compared to with it so i never fixed it. but ive heard that since it is not removed completely my steering could lock up completely one day. i mean im gonna take it out anyways along with the ac and cruise control(all useless items)but do you think the locking up is a possibility?
