I recenly install HKS T04R turbo kit in my FD ( I have blitz intercooler kit, I was hoping to keep every thing like AC or cruise. I dont think I will use either. but just want to know how many people keep their AC and cruise control

spoolin93r1

i don't have a/c, but i kept my power steering and a/c when i installed my t78. haven't had a chance to use the a/c this year yet, but i love the power steering!

locketine

well i haven't gotten mine yet. but I'll be taking out the AC and cruise control since I never use them in my truck.

Got rid of cruise a long time ago when I went non-sequential, thats where my FPR sits right now, and have kept my AC through the single conversion and engine rebuild even though i have been missing an AC line for a good year now. Anybody got an extra one they want to sell me (high pressure line with the valve on it that runs next to the turbo)

so. some people keep their AC, but seen to be no body really use it . MY FD is not my daily driver , so I dont think I will use my AC that often too

I still have the ac and ps. I've only owned the car for a week and i haven't even checked if the ac work, i'm not really too concerned with it.

So far I've kept it but the car is not running yet...but boy was it a PITA remounting that condenser with the apexi FMIC. I use mine a lot though so thats why I am keeping it....if I didn't really use it I 100% would have torn that sucker out

Kept the a/c. Stupid to take it out in a street car in my opinion. I took out the cruise because the cable was binding once and holding my idle at 3000. Never put it back in.

apneablue

keeping my ac......have an r2 so no cruize....summers are too freaking hot to loose the ac.

diyman25

on my old engine with factory turbo.even thought I dont use but once you use it you can really feel the log cause by the AC. wonder what it will do on TRI Point port Street port and T04R....

For the P/S dont you need a manual rack from 2 gen? is that bolt on to 3 gen's body

RX794

I still have my A/C and P/S.

Huero

Removed my A/C and P/S
Had car for two years and never used A/C

You don't need a manual rack. You just loop the hose. I don't like it in a street car.

FD without P/S feels like an FC that came without P/S from the factory.

A/C's gone. Didn't have CC to begin with.

Killed PS for the time being too to see if I like it.

diyman25

A lot of people took of their PS off. ON my other RX7(2gen race car weight 2440 with driver). I have manual rack, it feel fine with out P/S. but on 3 gen turbo rx7 the car a least weight over 3000 pound and the car is nose heavey too. so people took of their P/S did you guys use after market steering wheel ?(

bond007

In the FD it has been pointed out that to eliminate P/S in this manner doesn't not take into account a structural failure point in the rack that gets undue stress because of the lack of power assist (I forget where exactly it is) which could have some serious implications (loss of steering).

The gentleman who I remember who found this out prepared Formula ?3? cars in the UK and knew what he was talking about...

SPOautos

Over 3000??? Last mine hit the scales it was 2615 which is just from some normal bolt on's, no actual weight reduction. Now, I've pulled prob another 100lbs off it with the air pump, a/c, and p/s along with some other junk I didnt need. Its prob right around 2500-2550 and I still havent done anything in the name of weight reduction, just mod to car like most everyone else. Its a 1995 PEP. Oh yea, you can add about 175lbs to that for the driver.

Yea stock FD weighs 2789 lbs and has a F/R weight ratio of 50/50 so it isn't nose heavy. Min weighed 2709 lbs before I went single, have super light seats and what not, but have a welded in 4-point roll bar. When I weighed mine its F/R weight ration was 47/53 mainly because of the roll bar being right infront of the back wheels.
