hello guys,
has any one done this mod? removing p/s pump but keeping the a/c pump. I was thinking about to remove both but here in NY state without ac is too hot on summer . ok, if i remove just p/s pump and get a new belt for ac to main pulley then how do i adjust the belt?? any good ideas??

 

Do You Really Expect To Get That High Of A Hp Numbers From Removing The P/s The Reason People Remove The A/c And P/s Is Because If You Remove The A/c Thats Where You Free Up Crank Weight. Im Tellin YOU I WouldN'T Take The P/s Off If Your Not Removing The A/c. The Only Thing Youll Notice Different Is That The Car Is Harder To Turn When You Are Moving Slowly!

 

I had the car(2 seater Ponti-Fiero) while back ago without p/s so its not really new to me removing the p/s, but the main reason want to remove p/s pump was broken bracket. can not adjust belt with adjust bolt (long bolt connect to small pulley) anymore. so instead getting a new bracket I decide to remove the p/s pump.

 

If That Is Your Only Problem You Know How Easy It Would Be For You To Post A Wanted Add For That Part And Get That Part On This Site....so Many Guys Have Removed Their P/s Pumps Im Sure You Could Pic Up The Bracket Next To Free..... Also You Think Turning An Rx7 W/o P/s Will Be Anything Like Doin It On A Fiero ? Dude Those Fieros Weight Like What 1800 Pounds?

 

Thank you, and you are right. Of course i know there is easy way to fix this problem. i have been seach and found around $50 for used part. but this is not only way fix this problem. i know someone in this forum like my situation and need idea. i have seen post too. but nobody gave him a answer and me. i know this mod will work with some idea. but i like to find some information before i start to work on my car. that's all i ask.......( I bought my car 6years ago from now i do all the mod my self so i know what am doing on my car)

 

What are you talking about???

If you don't want the a/c to be sapping power from the motor you just reach up and switch it to "off"!

 

anyone with idea?

 

Have you ever driven an FD with a manual rack? I didn't think so.

 

Hell no! Those things are like 2800 pounds themselves.

...and don't forget that cars with manual steering have slower ratios so that you don't need as much torque on the steering wheel.

 

I'm now faced with this dilema... and i think i'll solve it by fabbing something to make the PS pully into a second idler pulley, so that i can still use the belt-tensioning idler... shouldn't be too tough.

 

Trev Dagley did it 7 years ago, so no, shouldn't be too tough.

I looked on Steve Cirian's site for the write-up on the P/S idler pulley to keep A/C, but couldn't find it. I know it's there somewhere, or at least it used to be. He needs a search feature.
