Anyone?

Hey guys, I have recently replaced my AC compressor. I got it leaked tested. Vacuumed and it passed. I had it re-gased but it wasnt quit as cold as i expected it to be. I used 2 cans of R12 (was really hard to find). It blew cool air for about 3 days. I used it up to the night before. When i woke up in the morning it was blowing ambient air. Ran diagnostics and all of the sensors passed. Compressor clutch kicks in everytime i cut on the AC. But still does not cool. Checked the door mixer flap to see if the motor was sticking but its working 100% so it cant be that. What i did notice was that on the sight glass of the dryer unit the gas wasnt flowing as fast as it was when i first got it gassed up. DO you think i need to add more refrigerant? Has the gas that i used broken down? Did I use enough cans of refrigerant. The system was completley empty before i re-gased. Also I took down the glove box and ran the AC i can hear the refrigerant run across the evaporator coil but when i put my hand on there it isnt cold at all. TX Valve clogged maybe? I must say it does blow hot hair. In diagnostic mode #5 my readings are kinda high. all in the mid to high thirties. Cant remember them off the top of my head. Help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

thanks

yea it is the factory turbo set up and i do hit full boost (11psi) in 4th and 5th gear. 1st through 3rd is where the problem happens. in 3rd it almost reaches 11psi but not quite. I think ima still get the EBC because i plan to upgrade further. Thanks for the info.

Whats up guys. Got an issue here. Just installed a BOV in my car and blocked off the stocker. Thing is i dont have a Boost controller but i usually run 0.8bar/11psi. When i slowly excelerate slowly through the gears i hit 11psi. but if hammer from first gear and change gears it i never reach the 11psi. Prolly around 0.6 bar. Do you guys think my wategate isnt opening quick enough and need a EBC? I dont have any boost leaks i dont think because when i excel gradually it holds the 0.8 bar pretty solid. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info guys. Love the forums here.

Hello guys, I've been doing some research on the pressure drop after an intercooler install and found some usful information. However, I still got a quick question. Just recently installed my cooler. When im gunning the throttle the psi's shoot up to around 0.6 bar or so and then slowly bleed down to around 0.5 bar. I ran out of road so i dont know if it bleeds any further. I just really noticed this after the install. Could it be possible that my wastegate isnt opening quick enough? Or i could i have a boost leak? I really dont feel any power loss. I know boost goes up after you do a few base mods. I.E. exhaust, intercooler. Just trying to get some input from you guys. Below are my mods.

You're right. It connects to the test pipe.

Good possibility. I'll check underneath the car.

Hey guys. I've been surfing around this site until my R32 arrived from Japan. Finally got it. Its my second R32 to be exact. 33's are just to bulky to me. Anyway, I just installed my FMIC. Its an ebay brand Bolted up pretty easy. Took me about 2.5 - 3 hours to install along with some beer. Did a few test runs and one the first two runs, one of the couplings kept falling off due to boost. Tightened the bugger down a lil tighter i used 'Joy' to slide that pipe in think that played a part in it. Quick question. Any of you guys know what the thing is in the last picture? I have no idea what it does. It's made by Apexi. Pulls in and out. When its pushed in it says open and pulled out it says closed.

Hey Guys, I got a 93 R32 GTS-t Looking to get some 17*7 +40mm for the front and 17*9 +35mm for the rear. Will i have to do fender rolling for the rear or front to get them to fit. Im trying to avoid this. Is there anyway that i can just run a smaller tire?

What's going on fellas. Hello from The Bahamas. I was thinking about purchasing these wheels. What do you guys think? They got a +35mm offset. Will they fit my 93 R32 Gts-t? I was going to get 17*7 front and 17*9 rear. http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-962-Wheels-1...-p/96279787.htm Cheers
