AC Removal

j3pz · 07-22-2007, 06:54 PM

ha thats funny ^ i vented mine

and yesterday i vented the ac from my integra
come and get me you tree hugging hippies!!

removing the ac doesnt add any real power as it only puts load on the engine when the ac is turned on. with it off the pulley pretty much spins freely. but like i said i took mine out casue i dont plan on using it. took out the pump, the condensor infront of the radiator, and the lines going into the firewall. i did it all when the engine was out though, and it was still kinda difficult to bend all the lines out, i had to cut one line. however im pleased with it as it gives more room in the engine bay and helps keep cool air to the radiator

Go ahead and take it out, but it won't really help save that mucg gas. I read a big article on it a while back, but this is the first thing I found on google:

But it probably should be taken into account that our cars are 20 years old, heh, so...

If you are deleting your ac for anything other than weight reduction. You are wrong.

No more ponies to playwith. You just lighten the load for what already exists.

I'm not a tree hugger, but......

I mainly just hate seeing people throw trash out of their windows of their car. People are in the state of mind "if i can't see it it doesn't bother me"

To each his own, but karma is karma
