F1 with AC ON
Hi All:
LA is getting hot. Over the weekend, I switched the AC ON and noticed a sudden drop on power. It was an easy 25-35% of the boost evaporated. In addition, the gas mileages was also suffering.
Do any of you guys experience the same issue?
By the way, since I went F-1, I never switched the AC ON...

At most 5-10whp. We actually tried this out one time on a dyno and lost 5whp

Its been tested multiple times that having the AC on reduces mpg on average about ~15-20%. I've done my own testing with our civic and those numbers hold true approximately. As far as the s2k, I don't use the AC so it doesn't matter anyway.
As honda9krpm said, AC is disabled under WOT anyway so not that any of this is relevant anyway.
