when i need a boost, i just turn it off temporarily. for instance if i am entering a freeway onramp i will turn it off, or if i see some punk wanting some i will just press the ac button right quick. i wouldn't autox w/ my a/c on though

It's a Honda, not an exotic. I drive her hard when I want, regardless of the temp. Never had the temp gauge go above 3 bars (AP1) either. Running Mobil 1 syn. Stay up on the maintenance and have fun with it.

while on the ac topic my cousin seems to think that turning off the ac before u start ur car puts less strain on the motor, i dont think this is true. Anyone?

going past 5/8th throttle with the air conditioning on recirc and fan speed above 4 notches will instantly detonate your engine.

im a little obsessive compulsive, so i always start the car w/ AC off... and i turn AC off for 10 seconds before shutting the motor off to get refrigerant through the lines or whatever old mechanics myth i have ingrained in me
and AC always off when merging for extra VTECH POWER!
