Hi Guys,
I am at the stage of upgrading
to larger injectors, fuel pump, and VPC.
Seems Many of you mention
problems with idle, getting the tuning and
mixtures correct, etc.. My
question is... given I generally commute (but

practical daily driving become too difficult with
these mods? I know it is

Sorry to hear that.
It sounds
exactly like the output shaft splines are shot. I had mine done
and it
was around $2000.00 to have it fixed at a tranny shop. Parts were
around
$700.00 the rest was labor. While they had everything out I had them
do the
clutch for about $400.00. They did not charge me labor for the
clutch
because they had the old one out anyway.

This was only in the 'old days' before unleaded gas, because it
used to
cause premature recession of the valve seats. Now that we have
Unleaded gas,
the valve seats are hardened and LPG is no dryer than Unleaded
gas.
>and washes out the cylinders causing more danger for piston-ring

It can't was the
cylinders out because it immediatly turns to gas, it has an
extreme cooling
effect.
Also you cannot get the same amount of

Correct, but you can run
much higher boost and that should compensate for
it.

So how can it be done

When you suggest adjusting the TPS to below 0.5, do you

or the TP switch? (idle switch)

No, not the TPS voltage but the IPS voltage ! Again, is the IPS
voltage
measured with the ARC attached or not ? Sorry for being that unclear
in my
questions !

If you have the latest version it is already
done.
>When you suggest adjusting the TPS to below 0.5, do you mean
the TP sensor
>or the TP switch? (idle switch)
TPS is TPS and IPS
is IPS and both are related together. When adjusting the
TPS the IPS is also
adjusted and the behaviour when opening the throttle is
important.
>I've got stock injectors and hybrid turbos
(compressors from Mirage Cyborg)

13g ones with stock injectors ... ok. Worked for
me several months (the
whole winter) without major
problems)

So, have you checked for the
other "possible" sensors in the O2 sensor
housings (flanged to the turbos
exhaust outlet) ? It sounds to me like you
really have a late 1990 model as
the Sigma engines just got the turbos then
and one O2 sensor in the downpipe
was used. I wouldn't be surprised if you
tell me that it is only a FWD with
turbos ;-) I wonder how the exhaust
flange to the turbo looks like in the
rear ! It is even possible that your
car doesn't have precats at all. Can
you check this (pics would help, hehe).
BTW, I had to open also the lower
screw of the TPS to be able to adjust the
voltage to lower than 0.5V. The
voltage has been measured with the
datalogger directly from the ECUs
readings.
Good luck

Not really, as the higher boost the more
the discharge temperature and the
higher the intake temp. Of course you can
crank up boost but you will run
into fuel cut and too lean situations soon
if the fuel system is not upgraded.
It may help to mix with gas (isn't
this a chemical bomb, hehe) but the
upgrade path must already been done. Why
not being the guinea-pig and
trying this out for the next 10k miles
??

Re: Team3S: SRS Computer
The SRS diagnostic unit is located under the cup

should use
the instructions found in the manuals.

Re: Team3S: Fuel/Air Management Mods
You already have "larger" turbos
right? Without the turbos you don't
need that other stuff. Assuming you have
15G or larger turbos, then
550s and "Supra" or "HKS" fuel pump would be in
order, but not
required. The ARC2 is the cheapest, easiest, and most natural
way to
manage the new fuel setup plus any other performance mods you do
to
the engine.

Mods
Hi Guys,
I am at the stage of upgrading to larger injectors,
fuel pump, and
VPC. Seems Many of you mention problems with idle, getting
the tuning
and mixtures correct, etc.. My question is... given I
generally
commute (but fast) in my car. Does practical daily driving
become
too difficult with these mods? I know it is necessary to crank
the
boost up with larger turbos eventually, but this does concern me
a
bit.

Re: Team3S: Transfer case help please?
Can you roll the car with the
trany in neutral? If the car will not
roll, to isolate the problem you will
have to disconnect the transfer
case from the transaxle then test again,
possibly with the car in the
air so front and rear axles can be tested
independently.
To check the transfer case oil level you will probably
have to jack
the car up and place four stands under it or blocks under all
the
wheels to raise it up and still remain level. The oil level should
be
no more than 0.5 inch below the front fill plug. The transfer case
only
holds 0.29 quart of oil! The most likely seal that could have
been damaged
during your engine replacement is at the back of the
case where the propeller
shaft slides onto/into it. Is this where it
is leaking at? If the oil level
is fine, it is also possible that the
oil leak is from the engine and is just
dripping across the transfer
case or the leak is the driver's side driveshaft
seal on the
transaxle. This seal could also have been damaged when the engine
was
out.
Hmmm, the mechanics said they "tightened the bolts up"? Which
bolts
are these?

My transfer case has been leaking oil. I had it checked a
week ago
and I was told it was full\topped off, Anyway I drive home
fine with
no problems but tonight went to go for a ride and couldnt move
the
car.
Clutch seems fine, when I engage the clutch it seems as
if the car
has its brakes on, it trys to move but dosent want to,
There are
some god awful noises coming from the transmission\ transfer

area. metal to metal squeeks and groans and

I can shift fine. The car trys to move but
something is grabbing \
stopping it.
I cannot get under the car to
check the transfer case fluids and it
surely is not going to be driven the
way it is.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
Suggestions?
On a side note I just had the engine
rebuilt and installed a couple
weeks ago, There was NO transfer case leak
prior to this and the shop
guys said it was minor and they had tightened the
bolts up.

Re: Team3S: Transfer case help please?
Jeff gave great instructions for
checking the transfer case. Just see if the
car rolls in neutral.
If it doesn't, it is either the transfer case or rear
differential. If
it is indeed the transfer case, you can buy a refurbished unit
(new
shaft, bearings, seals) from MD Auto in San Diego, 619-390-0450, for
about
$850. It is an easy DIY replacement and should only take an hour
or so of
labor. It pains me to see Moe spent $2K to have his fixed
:(. Please, before
you spend any money on your car, run the problem by
this list...you'll save big
bucks and many headaches.

I dont know where exactly it is leaking from, I
think they thought it was
coming from the case itself.

No, its definitly gear
lube. I can smell it.

From what I saw it was the bolts on
the drivers side of the transfercase.
it looks like a plate or cover
there?
