Update: I think my problem is due to the 8lb Ultralight Flywheel, when shifting in traffic with the AC from 1st to 2nd, the RPMS dip hard below 500, and the compressor kicks off. Anyway to adjust this short of Kpro, or changing out the flywheel? When its time for the clutch to be changed, im going back to stock or ITR.
After about 2000 miles that I've put on this RSX S since buying it last year, I've come across an issue that I don't know where to address to fix.
Going from stop to first, feels like the car is struggling to get fuel, for the first 1-2 inches of pressing on the gas pedal the car feels week and then a surge of power kicks in and the car drives like normal. Without the AC on this isn't much of an issue unless I drive the car around town for an hour or so, then it gets progressively worse.
With the AC on, I have to push the gas pedal 3/4 of the way down to get it going from a stop.
This causes the initial start to be really jerky.
ICV has been cleaned
Spark Plugs and Oil changed about 100 miles ago.
AEM CAI V2 (New Filter)
Competition Clutch 1.5 and lightweight flywheel.
Idle is around 700 with or without the AC compressor running at stop.
Another possible related issue is the AC compressor turns off when I'm stopped, and possibly when I push the clutch in.
I know that honda's are notorious for weak power with the AC on, but this a big strain (almost undrivable with AC on) compared to my 92 B16a Civic with AC, my girlfriends 99 Civic LX, or my friends 2006 RSX Base.
