I am also thinking about doing this, but I was wondering what its like to have no p/s. so if you have removed your p/s let me know how it is, is it easier to turn or harder?
15 at the fly?
Removing the P/S and AC will get rid of some parasitic power loss, but I'm almost certain you're still going to produce 170 at the flywheel. Maybe we're using different terminology. You'll gain *some* at the wheels (same principle as AEM power pulleys).
I've driven a crusty old civic without P/S; took me a few minutes to navigate myself safely out of a small parking lot.
