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.

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.

It can't was the cylinders out because it immediatly turns to gas, it has an
extreme cooling effect.

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

So how can it be done in the ARC itself?
When you suggest adjusting the TPS to below 0.5, do you mean the TP sensor
or the TP switch? (idle switch)

Once I got the correct chip for my VPC, it works great.  When the car is

but nothing that bothers me very much.  I'm actually very surprised that
there are that people complain about the VPC so much.

Hehe,yes I know this for sure. But is the second O2 sensor ok ? This was my

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)
>running 15psi max but the tubos will hold 12psi to red line.

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

>Sorry Roger, all japanese GTO's only use one O2 sensor and it is located
>under the car where the two exhaust pipes join together (at least the first
>generation cars do)

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 ??

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.

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.

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 case
area.    metal to metal squeeks and groans  and metalic pings
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.  

Thanks,

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?
