i've had this idea going on for a while...
what if we get a boost-activated switch (can't be vaccum, has to be boost)
and plug it into the intake manifold...then splice the switch into the A/C clutch line (positive, oviously) and have the A/C be turned off while under boost...
Pros and Cons i see out of this..
Pros.
not having to manually turn off the A/C while wanting to gain speed on the highway...so there would not be much lag...
not boosting while A/C on, which increases your chances of blowing up the engine as stated by other forum member here (true??0
Cons.
maybe wearing out A/C compressor clutch??
and maybe wearing off A/C compressor...
any input appreciated
it just sucks to have to reach and turn off the A/C everytime you wanna race a riced out civic... lol...j/k
