Slight Stutter When Ac Is On..?

Ive noticed that when I have the AC on the car has like a slight miss or stutter occasionally, its very minimal, and Ive only noticed it when cruising, not on the power.

Would this be a tune issue or would it point to one of the air valves on the plenum having a prob?

It has a forward facing plenum and I plumbed all the IAC or AAC valves in

build specs are as per signature.

turn AC off and of course problem goes away...

Mine has done the same thing since day one, I think it's just a slight load type difference when the compressor comes on and off.

I asked my tuner about it years ago and he reckons its nothing to worry about.

Annoys me though, like a little "blip" every now and then yeh???

To state the obvious, turning the AC on puts a higher load on the front pulleys including the one that runs the alternator.

It also puts a higher load on the cars electrical system as it energizes a clutch pack on the AC pump and runs the rest of the system (fans internal/external, drier, controls etc.)

So anyway, moral of the story is... Put an earth kit together and strap it to all the right places. That should fix it.

There are about 1000 wires connected to the positive circuit and one 20 year old earth strap that bolts onto the body and motor in 1 spot each (assuming your car still has factory earthing). As we learn in high school science, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. So in theory there's no where near the same return wiring as there are wires drawing away from the battery. Its a circuit, that's how it works (don't flame me saying you know, I'm putting it out there for future readers who might not).

So the earthing kits actually do have a real useful purpose...?? Hmmm

I just thought it was another semi useless mod that people did, like pod filter or engine shock absorber..

So earthing kit should stop that from happening?

And its not a tune issue?

Cause i didnt notice this before, its only been since the last tune, maybe he did something to change the earthing, maybe?

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
