A/C compressor..

Chan Chee Hoe · 12-05-2009, 09:47 PM

Hi Friends,good morning,just check with you guys,does you switch on the A/C during hard driving[every gear hit 5500rpm & above].?If we switched on the A/C,will it easily wear out the compressor,or does the E.C.U. 'cut-out' the compressor during high revs.?Thanks..

I would not worry about the compressor. The on-off cycle should he minimal.

Btw when I drive and I want all the power I need, the a\c is always off. Most a\c units are power-hog

My Evo8 would cut the a/c after 5k rpm. I dont think the Z does this though

In U.S. you can drive maybe with A/C off[cold weather],but in my country,driving with no A/C,is like hell.!

I'm not sure aout the Z, but every car I owned for the last 10 years automatically turn off the compressor when you are at WOT.
