hmm.. i guess my airconditioning must suck... i only notice like a 20~25km loss per tank with a/c on

Welcome to the club! A/C sucks the freakin life out of Zetec motors it seems, most guys just turn it off when leaving from a stop then switch it back on once in motion. I think someone else posted in another thread that underdrive pulleys help this on their car.

at least you guys have 2L engines try it with a puny 1.6L. :lol:

Laterz :)

the SRT is getting around 200 kms with the AC on with the wife driving and thats a 40L'r tank of the good stuff

UDP seemed to noticeably reduce lag with the a/c on when I had it installed...the only difference being that when the car was idling or at a stoplight, the fan would slow a bit...but no noticeable issues with cooling while driving.

umm.. turn the AC off if you want to accelerate, turn it back on after?

It's funny, I have the wifey trained to turn it off when I'm merging or passing. It's quite funny.

She yells NAWWWWS when she turns it off :lol:

AHAH Kick ass. Well under drive pullies seem like a good Idea, But I was told not to toss those in with a sub in the car.
