Default A/C POWER DRAIN

My MY04 NFR s2000 is the most awesome automobile a man could want...except when I turn on the A/C. The car then drives like a Sentra pulling a boat.

What is the horsepower loss when the almighty S2000's A/C is turned on?

A dyno would show nothing because the compressor turns off during WOT

I've noticed that my new Fidanza flywheel has greatly reduced this effect, especially when taking off from stoplights in this hot summer weather.

As previously posted under certain conditions the electric clutch on the compressor will be disengaged to add performance and to prevent high rpm damage.
