Boost Galaxy Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Do our A/C compressors turn off under a certain RPM when we step on the gas, to ensure not overspinning the compressor..just wondering if it would effect performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every car with a TPS disengages the compressor clutch when you floor it. Experience is something you don't get until right after you needed it.

It's not to protect the AC compressor, though... it's to remove the compressor's load on the engine so more power is available for acceleration.
