It was more for the people here than the wide range of peopel in the Rally forum. I might be able to hook up some kind of event with these guys, so I wanted to post it here. Maybe I'll ****can this thread and move the original post to the Rally forum later.

 

No, I made two comments and one was pertinant to the discussion. Because you decided to comment on my nonsensical comment means you derailed the thread

(and to make sure I don't de-rail the thread again...)

Yeah Matt, I was thinking of moving it too, but I agree it is more of a local thing, though I bet those people in the Rally forum would love to see vids.

That second video is pretty awesome. The videos need to be just a bit longer though.

And another ridiculious comment... I used to know a Matthew Johnson. Yet another Matt to throw into the queue.

 

I split it off.

 

Not sure how the 04's work but in the 05 you can set the AC to AUTO, ON, or Off. Same for the economizer/recirc.

Just so I can add some rice to the thread, Hondata let you set parameters (engine load and/or TPS) that the AC would be temporarily disabled.

Do our ECU's do anything like that?

 

I believe the ECU shuts off the A/C under load or a certain rpm for the WRX's and STi's.

 

I believe it is when the ECU switches from closed loop to open loop.

I don't know, though, if it is explicity tied to the switch, or if it happens to occur at the same time w/ stock programming.

 

Yea, I've heard that too. I have not tried that yet.

I'll test it out during lunchtime.

 

The ECU in my RS shuts off the compressor at WOT. The air gets warmer when I pass someone

Oh, and HVAC controls, I have some JDM ones for BC Legacy, anyone want them?
