I wouldnt mind gettin some more HP but only on the power steering. I NEED my alternator to be at 110% :-) But with only a power steering pully, I'm not sure if there is any benefit, cause if the car is goin straight, the power steering usually doesnt sap that much power. Maybe it'll improve the over assisted feel thats so common on these japanese family sedans...

I wonder if you would gain power by Bypassing your AC?

bypassing AC wont do anything, AC compressor has magnetic clutch so its not draining when AC is off....prolly only the weight factor.

Pretty much your weekend warrior approach to the Cold Air Intake. Take a shop-vac hose and connect it as your would a manufactured CAI, with a "funnel" type affect on the inflow side that collects and "rams" air into the hose as you drive faster. Note: the funell must point towards the front of the car to get the "ram" effect.

I think the UDPs advantage is mostly related to it's extremely light weight. I don't think it does much "underdriving". I do like the pulley for the power steeering though. I sure would like to get rid of the overboosted steering. The steering is by far my biggest complaint about this car. The car handles great for a sedan (with suspension mods), but the steering takes away from the true "feel". I don't even think the Max's steering is varible assist. Can anyone verify this for me?

Someone should ask Unorthodox if they could make us a pulley for the power steering. If they goet it right, you might not even have to replace the belt since the bigger pulley might make up for the underdriving of the UDP.

or at least the first time I've heard it. I would be interested in doing the same thing.

I had an old 83 accord hatch, not much of a car, but fun as hell to drive. It had no Power Stearing, which sucked when you were parking, but was great once you passed 10 MPH.
