I'd like to try it, see what difference it may make
 The A/C doesn't work anyway...  Any belt reccomendations? I'm sure its been done before but I haven't been able to find anything specific on here or the net. |

there is no extra pully with the 5s.
you just remove the ac, and replace the belt with a non ac belt. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Ah, simple enough  Dropping some weight, freeing up even half a horse... any gain is a gain Turbo is the eventual goal, right now I'd like to do every possible supporting mod that won't cost a bundle. The car sees tons of highway, I'd REALLY like to get a few mpg extra.. as of now I've managed a 30mpg tank but it likes to burn up gas when I keep up with traffic...  The torque curve doesn't at all fit my driving style, power up top would be so much more preferable... I know doing little stuff like this is like beating a dead horse and expecting him to come alive... but until something greater comes along... The electric power steering pump sounds like a good idea - my yaris had that and I was very happy with it (until some random gremlin turned it off for a few weeks, then went on his way). A much more optimal setup IMO. I know its not a great comparison (in regard to not having belt driven power steering), but the yaris was rated for ~105hp or so and would put 90hp to the wheels stock... if only the celica had so little drivetrain loss...
