easy 5hp

my friend works for Acura and hes a mechanic, he told me that by removing your power steering , that you should be able to get 5 hp out of it. hope this helps your guys.

it just frees up stuff CLracer


and it's probably not even worth 5 HP, you'd probably get 2-3 from it. We took the PS out of our CRX

less parasitic loss from the pump..... but unless you have a rececar why bother. not worth the tradeoff imho.

I have had my power steering off for a long time, I like the way the car drives with out it, it feels like you have more control.

you can take out all the carpeting and rear seats and insulation and spare tire and dash trim and inner door panels and saw off all the ends of the bolts and drill holes in your steel frames and make the car super light and go faster too, but we're not all about to do that either

Ok, lets talk about saying something "stupied" like, "go say it to your mom". Haha, who the hell says that. Youre 23 years old not 11. For everyday use this would be a "stupied" idea. But I have seen people at the track taking the power steering belts off for added power.:P
