Under the hood what can i remove and what would i need to do so?

Baldy 11-28-2006 08:50 AM

Remove everything, including the hood, and your car will be super lightweight!



Really though, what do you want to do with it? Do you need to keep emissions? A/C and heat? Power steering? Feel like premixing?



Honestly the only thing I've gained (positively) by removing all that stuff is probably a lighter car, and more room to work on the remaining stuff under the hood.

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 09:31 AM

could i get rid of ac and heat right now and emissions in a couple weeks or would i be better off doin it all at once?



and hell no i dont feel like premixing... had to do that with my banshee and im done with that.

I like premixing in my car. This way, there is no question about whether the seals are being oiled or not. It also got rid of a nasty oil leak in the form of the OMP.



Plus its pretty funny the looks I get at the gas station. I think I convinced some kid with a honda to start premixing cause his car was 'modded'. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

I think your my hero, so is pre mixing not that bad? I dont even know what mixes it in guess i never even thought of that, so you did this was it difficult was did it require new pullies or do the stock pullies handle the job? Just need some input and info on this before i just start rippin **** off

If you're not very familiar with the various systems and what they do, I wouldn't mess with any of it. If you want to pick up some power, lose the factory airbox and run a cone filter.

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 12:23 PM

I already got the K&N filtercharger it actually makes a small noticable difference.



But i def want to take stuff out for 1 easier to get around under the hood and it will free up a little power.

Baldy 11-28-2006 03:18 PM

Removing all that stuff won't really affect your power any noticeable amount. If you haven't already, focus on a better exhaust system to get power.

Ya if i dont end up selling it then imma get a corksport full exhaust. I know it doesnt make really any ponies but it will most likely free up 10-20 i bet just in the motor using power to turn all the pullies considering theres like 8764734756497 different ones

phinsup 11-28-2006 03:46 PM

LOL, it always used to crack me up when I was ridin street bikes, some 300 pound fucker asking how to shave 20 lbs off his bike and usually spending a small fortune to do so, i just wanted to say, dude one word DIET, you'll shave 50, you'll be healthier and you'll save several hundred bucks.

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 04:00 PM

and thats just in little debbie treats.... You callin me fat...

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 04:21 PM

Does anyone actually have a picture of what they have done and/or how much you can actually take off?

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 05:25 PM

I was lookin through the registry on here and i cant remember whos 7 it was but all it had was obviously the main pully, alt was almost directly above main pully and something on the bottom not sure what it was but any input?

teknics 11-28-2006 05:57 PM

crank, waterpump, and alternator.



the only 3 pullies you need https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif.

ExplicitRotary 11-28-2006 06:37 PM

Do i have to move the alternator? So its all on one belt.

rotary_pwr 11-28-2006 08:17 PM

run an open header :P jk. like the others have said, it will not be a noticable difference if you remove stuff like AC and whatnot.

ExplicitRotary 11-29-2006 03:42 PM

So what do i need to do to actually remove these things? cuz im sure i cant just walk out there and rip em all off... so any input would be good
