Hey guys, just got my k20a2 installed in my 92 EG hatch. Comptech S/C on the way. I wanna drive the car and make sure its good before i slap the S/C on it. I dont know what AC/PS Delete option i wanna go with. Can someone help me out so i dont waste 200 bucks on the wrong delete. So my question is, What AC/PS Delete will work with the supercharger? I will not be running A/C or P/S BTW.

1.) K-Tuned A/C & P/S Eliminator Kit
2.) K-Tuned Adjustable EP3 Pulley Kit
3.)Hybrid Racing Autotensioning AC and PS removal kit
4.)Karcepts A/C & P/S Removal Kit with Alternator Relocation for 1992 Honda Civic CX K-series

Couldn't you just use the OEM EP3 idler pulley/auto tensioner set up with the Comptech SC? This would be the cheapest route and you wouldn't have to relocate anything.

Thats what i think also. But the car will be run for a few weeks without the S/C until she is up and running. and then the S/C will go in.

So why would that change which delete kit you buy?

Cause if i get the EP3, Pulley. What would i have to do to the motor to make it work? Even though the car does not have AC or PS, the motor is still setup for it.

The AC and PS are hydraulic (assuming you haven't retrofitted some sort of electric steering rack)...meaning they run off pulleys. So you don't have to do anything to the motor. You just have to get a shorter belt to work with the EP3 idler pulley/auto tensioner.

Have you researched this? There are literally hundreds of build threads on this forum running the various delete kits.

Yes i have whats why i confused. Whats the point of the Ac/Ps delete kits if you can just grab a ep3 pulley and be done with it.

My thoughts exactlyj:

Rarely, it's necessary to relocate the alternator. Possible reasons for relocating the alternator include fitting a center feed manifold or rotrex style charger...several of (if not all) the aftermarket AC/PS delete kits relocate the alternator.

I actually have an EP3 idler pulley that I have no need for any more. They are about $80 new. $45 and its yours.
