i was driving and my power steering and ac belt broke (it had been hopping and squeaking for a while now) and i was just wondering if my water pump was on that belt. if not then i prolly wont put a new belt on and just leave it like it is nowbecause i hear you get more hp by not having ps and ac on your belt system. if it doesnt really do ne thing for hp then ill put a new one on.

 

water pump is driven by your timing belt

 

ok so ill be fine leavin it the way it is. will there be any hp gain not having a belt on the ac and ps

 

a little but it will be a bitch to turn your car without power steering when stopped or at slow speeds... it will somewhat affect turning at other speeds too but whatever.

 

I got a noticable gain from removing my belt. And as long as you keep air in the tires its not bad at all for turning. A little work when your stopped.
