i know a lot of people say they dont do it for performance just for feel.but i have also heard of people saying they can feel a difference and that it has dynoed 2 hp at wheels?could u feel a difference when u took yours off. oh yeah search nazis dont bother i want fresh info

i felt the difference when i took mine off. i know it wasnt just in my head because i was able to chirp third after. i knew i was close to chirping third before but just couldnt do it(stock clutch).

I've thought about it, but I really don't think it would be a good idea for a daily driven car. Maybe I'm wrong though.

WHat up!

I didn't feel a damn thing performance wise.
But I love the feel of it.
I feel more in touch with the road.

I only drained the fluid and plugged the lines, though.
The belt is still there pumping air.

I'm the same as figgy. Still have the pump on the car, but I put some bolts in the hoses to keep crap from getting in there and making the pump lock up. I'm not sure about noticing a difference since I did a lot of other stuff at the same time(including motor swap) but it feels alot better driving it.

Very interesting, mabye I will end up doing this...
Any road racers and autoX'rs have any input?

I have the RTR P/S eliminator kit installed on my NX.

Frees up 2 HP, and you gain a lot more room in your engine compartment.

My car is daily driven and I have gotten used to having no power steering.

Not to mention there's one less item to need servicing.

 

[FastNX]

The powersteering belt broke on my brother's Celica and I drove it around for about two weeks like that, and you do get used to it, but it's still a huge PITA. Not something I would like to drive on a regular basis. That however did not have the fluid drained out of the rack. I wonder how much of a difference that would make. I know of someone semi-locally who has removed his PS, maybe I will get to drive his car and see for myself.

Where can you get the RTR P/S eliminator kit?

 

[Subculture]

I think SR20Developement carries them now.

 

[V-SPEC]

Thanks Subculture,I'll give them a try.

How much weight reduction without P/S ?

You'll lose approxiamately 10 pounds.

To date, I have had no w/p issues as a result of using the RTR P/S eliminator kit.

 

[sr20andafalcon]

10 pounds is great.i think im gonna get the elimenator if it frees up 2 hp,thats the same as the ur 2 piece

 

[SE-R_Tj]

10 pounds? mmm great, my car would weight 2160!!! I'll do it.

I don't understand what you're saying Dustin...

 

[nizmo559]

I had the fluid drain out of my P/S from a pressure line leak. I hated not having it, and diddnt notice any difference in power. Personally could afford the 2hp vs. no p/s.

 

[sakerocket1]

here is my setup on the NX , 12v water pump, removed the power steering pump and hooked the lines to the resevoir, now all I have is the crank pulley and alternator pulley which both have UR pulleys on them. http://www.sr20forum.com/img/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=300 there are pictures here
