32Gtr Aircon Issue

Ok, so my climate control works with no issues.

I've performed the aircon diagnostic, it's good, only get 23, water temp sensor. I have the workshop manual but for the life of me i can' t see it in my engine bay. What is it for, does it have anything to do with engine cooling or something else.

So here's the deal- my aircon is always on. Yep, even when i turn it off and nothing is displayed on the climate control, its on, if air blowing thru the vents, i can feel the very cold air.

In the engine bay, the compressor clutch is engaged and the aircon cooling fan is on- how the fcuk has that happened

Ive recently refitted my engine, so is it possible to "hardwire" compressor on with just the power wire, i thought it only had one power wire to it and all it did was switch the compressor on?

Any help is appreciated, as i'm out of idea's.

Actually the aircon fan isn't always on. Its off when i first get into the car, but on arriving at my destination, its running when i pop the bonnet - strange one...

Can someone point out where the water temp sensor is, i can't make it out from the workshop manual?

You mean the little black fan in front?

From my observation, it only turns on when the engine is over a certain temperature AND when the A/C is on.

No idea on the other issues though, sorry.

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
