DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 i dont have a/c it is definitely not a 30 hp gain.. honestly i dont think it adds much of anything on a honda.. which is why its going back on cause its just too damn humid out here not to have it in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 its like 3 hp. and its not adding it, its just one less thing that has to be ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 im hoping with adding the a/c and adding a high flow cat it will make mine a bit more comfortable to ride in and maybe the extra back pressure will help it out oh and i want del sol seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 i just noticed the 15 foot red street glow w t f is 15' red street glow in a grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That guy is retarded. Turning off the A/C in my car adds about 200hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 lol only thing taking the a/c off does is reduce weight.. which isnt enough to actually matter IMO i want a/c on my 240.. which is going to take some custom stuff.. but i think it'll be badass when im beating the losers who took a/c out to gain 30 hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tko Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 What happened to the front two coils? You will have AC on all your cars soon Esp in the Sol the 240 will get ac also! BTW found a pic of the seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orca89 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 im hoping with adding the a/c and adding a high flow cat it will make mine a bit more comfortable to ride in and maybe the extra back pressure will help it out oh and i want del sol seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you mean lower back pressure? high flow cat = less back pressure = good. backpressure does nothing good for your engine. Yes, most cars have somewhere between .8 and 1.25 psi of backpressure, that doesn't mean it's good. It just means that a perfect exhaust hasn't been created yet. And yes, a high flow cat will make a difference, especially if you're running the original exhaust. Or just a really old one. Between the new, clean air filter and new exhaust I put on my car, it started purring. Probably gained a few horsepower too. Wish I had a pic of the old filter... it was horrible. And on the topic of AC, it does make a difference. But if it's off, you might lose an imperceptible bit of horsepower. When it's on, you lose something like 3-6 hp, depending on the compressor and your engine. It's enough to cost some acceleration, but that's about it.

airjordan223 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 you do want some back pressure in your exhaust though. other wise everyone would just run 4" piping all the way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 and speaking i have NO cat right now.. it will be good and the a/c is going back on because im tired of not being comfortable in the heat and when it rains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondaman08 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 So does that mean my z6 can run with the B16's now??? Haha The sad part is I guarantee some kid out there will believe it and buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orca89 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 you do want some back pressure in your exhaust though. other wise everyone would just run 4" piping all the way back No, you don't. It's not a big deal if you have a little, but back pressure doesn't do your engine any good whatsoever. And probably the reason people don't run 4" piping is because it looks hideous. and speaking i have NO cat right now.. it will be good and the a/c is going back on because im tired of not being comfortable in the heat and when it rains Wait a minute... your talking about the environment and telling Brian he should convert to E85 and yet you don't have a cat? No offense, but that's probably about the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard... At least you're getting one on. (Let me repeat, I mean no offense, I'm just surprised at that) And I know what you mean about the A/C... I need to talk to Brad to see about getting a replacement for the piece I broke, and then finish installing the retrofit kit and get it charged.

airjordan223 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 well if they ran 4 in piping you wouldnt see it because its under the car. and ideally you dont want any back pressure (like in F1 and other race cars) but on these public cars, there needs to be a little. the carburetors and fuel injection sysmtes are designed for engines that are muffled and have some back pressure. If you take away that back pressure, the fuel curve will be mismatched and will be lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 i fail to see how i'm a hypocrite when I am redoing my entire exhaust just to have a cat when the exhaust was done it was kind of a 'hey this exhaust is horrible and falling apart we need to do something'.. and then came fixing numerous other things on the car.. like replacing the motor that was putting all kinds of bad crap in the air (i kind of thought replacing a motor that ran like crap and smoking black was a bit more important then redoing the exhaust) .. so the exhaust got put on hold.. but now that the motor is good and i have the fees/garage/books paid for college.. its getting the exhaust re-done oh and i am such a hypocrite I was discussing how to create a hyrdrogen powered time attack car or maybe a full electric time attack car because I wouldn't mind working on a project like that yes im a horrible emission loving hypocrite.. go global warming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tko Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Formula1 Motors are works of art. When you must pump heated fluids through the motor to allow the metal to heat up and reach its maximum expansion point just so it can rotate because you have machined your motor to such tolerances as such that your motor is effectively seized cold. It will run so efficiency that it dosn't need a cat. Not only that but they currently do run a bio fuel mix! Alot of race cars run hi-flow cats as they help with not only back pressure but heat dissipation. I Like Ferrari's view As they make such a small production run the few Ferrari's that are driven release less emission's then all the Prius' Hence forth they are an eco friendly company!

JesseCuster Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 dang, ac compressors must be heavy these days ha mine doesn't work, wonder if that adds 15hp haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 i might have an extra one if you want it.. ill sell it super cheap so its not just laying around lol i somehow ended up with two compressors.. we are about to put my a/c back on and use the one that came with the new motor and if that one works ill have an extra.. if it doesnt work i wont because ill have to use the second one i have lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCuster Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ha, i think i may just need to slap a new belt on it how do u end up with 2 compressors if u find yourself with extra body kit or a b series engine at anytime, let me know ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
