A/C on zaps ?? HP?
 

When the a/c is on, how much hp do you think is used?

My guess is 10-12. What do you think?

well its DEF noticeable..

yea sounds about right also it might depend on if you have manual or auto trans.

Just curious. I really hate the power loss, though.

It was terrible on my 106hp civic. I thought it wouldn't be too bad on the tc. Its not, but its still noticeable. I'm sure on an automatic it wouldn't be so noticeable.

approx. 159.

hmmm...hey, since my car is getting dyno tuned tomorrow morning, should i ask for them to do a pull with the a/c on just to see? LMAO ofcourse, doesn't the A/C turn off under full throttle to maximize acceleration?

i dont know if the A/C itself shuts off but i believe the compressor stops running...same thing i guess.

and you prob wont even notice a diff.

your looking at around a 5HP or less loss. i would be really surprised if it was above 10.

Do it!!! Inquiring minds want to know.

like i said, you prob wont notice...

when dynoing a car there are so many variable to take into account, each run is not going to be exactly the same, so the A/C debate being proven by a dyno is pretty much irrelevant.

yeah i'd say 5hp or so, but definitely run the test with the a/c on and off. Very cool to find out, I've always wondered!
