Default TEMP GAUGE TROUBLE

so i just removed my ac and the fan. i took it out for a drive and i noticed that once you get on it then let off the temp gauge falls back down to cold then back up to temp. also how much more power is expected when removing the ac from a b18a

You might see one or two horsepower. Not really worth it if you think about it. Unless you're boosting with a non ac compatible manifold.

Put the fan back on. You get stuck in traffic on a hot day and you are going to need it.

integra have 2 fans on the radiator so if he took his a/c out he can take the one off on the drivers side

Thanks for the lesson, but if his temp gauge is flopping around he might need that extra fan. If you take one off is there an upgrade for the remaining fan available? Air flow through the radiator is always a good thing.
