AC delete

Some A/C systems simply shut off at WOT through the pressure sensors.

So you don't think freeing up the crank shaft any bit would produce a gain???

not a noticeable gain in our NA's. in my mind, the NA is never going to live up to the power of a GTE, unless you bore it and stroke it (way too much money for my budget). i'd just keep the NA in the best condition possible, and ready it for a GTE swap later down the road.

its personal preference, but if im gonna be slow, im gonna be COMFY and slow

Nope...., I'm doing it strictly to horse up my NA. No disrespect intended slideways. I thought that belt ran something else as well. But I'm only going to pull what I know I will not need I'll figure the rest out later. Long live Supra.

The ac belt runs just the ac. I was in the same situation as you. I looked and the belt and it goes strait to the ac compressor. I cut it and didn't notice any power increase but throttle responce was a little better.

Ya to get the max increase your'e going to have to pull the unit. It's little things. I have no need to go as fast as you nos heads. I like my NA just fine thanks. I'm anti turbo anything. To me that is false power. Power none the less. But it's much more cool to win a set and say hey bud I'm just a stock oem I6. You were simply outdriven. There's no competition with forced air induction. I'll be happy with my car when I get it running. Thanks.

he's going for weight reduction primary, response secondary; he'll need to remove the whole AC setup to accomplish both.

 

[supramacist]

Yes he will.

So..., are the lines attached to the unit the only lines I remove or are there more on the passenger side I am not see for certain. ?

I have finally gotten my garage set up for the rebuild. I need to get the machinist off of his arse, so I can get started.

How was everyone elses weekend?
