Default 2000 EX AC problems

So my Compressor bearings were going out(Shaft ones) evac'd, and replaced compressor, gaskets, service port valve stems, and vacuumed it back down and serviced it back up.

At idle my low side is 38, high side 225.
At 2000 RPMS low side drops to 23, high side bumps to 275.

Seems like I have a blockage, or a valve not opening.

Any thoughts, or tips to proceed?

Thank you!
Nik

^Provide details.

Performance test (high& low side pressures) the system with the engine rpm held at 1500 rpm. Also post ambient temp and relative humidity and temp of air coming out central vent.

First off, thank you for responding!

With a 3.0 CFM vacuum pump, and gauges hooked up to both high and low side I vacuumed it down for about 4 hours(Read 29.00) and then let it sit, for approx another 4 hours without loosing any reading prior to putting 17-19 oz. My scale isn't the most accurate.

Sounds good. See additional comments in my post above.

Is the system cooling well?

In the shade at idle system gets down to about 70. from the central vent

Temp is at 86, humidity is 26.

running it for a bit at 2k.

at 1500 RPMS low side is 25, high side is 264. still only cooling to 70 with MAX ac and doors closed

Additionally it has been running now for 50 minutes in the shade and still not below 70 at idle

Did you flush the system and replace the receiver/dryer and the expansion valve?
