Air Con Woes

I have a RB25DET swap in my A31.

Depending on speed and time of day the cabin temperature can be pretty uncomfortable.

At idle, the compressor comes on with the switch however it can be heard coming on and off around approx 2k rpm, I'm not sure if it comes back on higher up in the power band as my exhaust is pretty loud.

I am using the air con compressor that came with the RB25 and not the RB20 one if that makes a diff.

Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem may be? I appreciate any help that anyone may offer.

change back to the rb20 compressor if you can? sounds like wiring issues though? i'm assuming it was fine with the rb20 in?

Lines are already changed to accommodate the RB25 compressor and the RB20 was sold yesterday. :P

ok well you need wiring diagrams of each then to make sure all the wires are in correct places , being nissan they would be very similar? , if it isn't in the wiring then the only places left to look are the compressor itself or the a/c controls (which tie in with the wiring really) . 'sounds' (by the description) like the clutches are stuffed in the pulley though

*you might get better replies in the maintainence forum?*

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified.  Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically. Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
