Has anyone got the B-Spec kit?

[AN7]

Because of the difference that we have 2 liquids(oil/water) vs air/oil, this is why the whole world use a different term for each one.(heat exchanger, oil cooler)

 

[BigBlueDart]

Technically, they're both heat exchangers. But in the semantics of the auto industry it looks like there is a distinction made.

So, just to be sure I got this straight... oil cooler = air cooling only; heat exchanger = water cooled?

 

[AN7]

Yeap

Speaking of all this B-Spec kit stuff, and I know it's been said before but I don't have time to search before I go back out, does anyone know of where to buy individual B-Spec parts? I want to get the AC delete kit

I think you guys can get the A/C from the Mazda dealer. Look up a idler pulley for a non A/C Mazda 2 from a local dealership. It should be a bracket/pulley set.

Thanks Derrick and AN7! I'm probably gonna hit up my dealer soon for that.

 

[PassivAggressor]

Oh no's I needs my ac.

 

[CRG Racer24]

Pshh, I'm in Canadia.. I doon't need AC there, eh baud?

 

[PassivAggressor]

True haha.

Sorry for being pants-on-head retarded, but what's the advantage of an A/C delete? Does it steal power even when it's not in use?

 

[CorkSport]

A little bit of power and a whole lot of weight,

Thanks

For the weight i agree, but i am not sure about the power. The pulley of the compressor when it's not turned on, spins as freely as an idle pulley.

 

[CorkSport]

I meant the weight of hauling around the A/C = power gained back.

 

[|2az]

Has anyone measured the weights saved from removing the AC? This would be the first car I ever owned that had A/C on it.

Does one merely just cap the A/C lines after removal?

 

[CRG Racer24]

I'm under the assumption that you take out the entire system.. especially if it's not hooked up anymore.

When I buy the kit/pulley, I'll have no problem weighing the system.

 

[molex7]

looking forward to the weight, when i removed the entire system from my crx it netted just under 40 pounds, but i went pretty extreme, even removed the harnesses/relays. It made a pretty huge impact on a 2100 pound car. 20 years of A/C technology would most likely have lightened the load by now though.

 

[Tom_Mazda2]

I was also interested in the A/C Delete Idler Pulley. But, I'm not sure if I want to strip out my perfectly functioning A/C system out of my new Mazda2, even though I almost never use the A/C. That's why we have power window's! FTW!

20 years of A/C technology would most likely have lightened the load by now though.

You would be surprised...

 

[zps2004]

I am curious about the weight of the compressor as well, also if there is a mounting bracket which can be taken off. I am not planning on taking mine off since it is a DD, but I would like to know. On the Miata the Compressor was huge and was quite heavy. There was also a large cast iron bracket which is bolted to the engine to mount it. The compressor in the 2 is actually quite small though so I doubt it really weighs that much.

 

[CorkSport]

I have the lines and compressor sitting in my garage. I will get it on a scale.
