hello,

my evo 8 keeps breaking its ac compressor clutch pully, thia is the 2nd one which broke.. my evo revs too 8500rpms which could be the reason my compressor clutch pully keeps breaking. its a fully built motor with link ecu making 700hp

im thinking of completing removing the compressor and just get it over with, since its winters comming anyways.



my question is if i deleted the ac compressor and put on a smaller belt will that effect my tune or AFR in any way? i.e WOT, idel or cruse.. i know cluch is free spining when ac isn't on but what abt abt the clutch pully load on the engine even when its free spining. or will it make no difference?

thanks

 

it wont effect the tune.
would be fine.

i see so when the ac is off or no compressor at all is the same thing i know that... its just load of the compressor pully on the engine is my concern... that when i delete the compressor what it will do to AFR.

anyways ill try and report back

 

You may have another issue.

9500rpm with ac for 25k miles. Stock pulleys.

 

like what?? my adjuster is new, belt is oem.

bad compressor maybe? 🤷

 

OE A/C compressor clutches are junk. Probably where you problem lies. Clutches are more than a used compressor but at least you know what your buying.
