Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    Re routing A/C for hp gain?

    I just read on some other forum that someone had tried re routing their A/C to blow in their engine bay near their intake for horse power gain. Would that work, or are they crazy?

      It takes more hp to run the AC system than you'd recover from the cooled air.

        Re rewiring A/C for hp gain!

        You can wire a trip switch to detect when you are at wide open throttle, and have that trip switch wired to a relay that disconnects the A/C Compressor Clutch Relay from the ECU while at wide open throttle. So if your A/C happens to be on when you "floor it", you will get an instant load reduction on the motor.

          It's called reach over and turn the a/c off.

            it's already built into the cars. Most (if not all) fuel injected cars turn the compressure off at WOT.

              I figured it wouldn't work. it sounded kinda ghetto. But A/c really does kill my HP

                Well if u don't mind the heat just run a shorter belt and bypass the compressor.

                    I would reroute lines for turbo or some kind of overkill swap but thats about it.

                      It would work as well as the leaf blower intake.

                        it would be less work to instal a methanol injection kit than to reroute your A/C.
