Admin Message (informal)
Hey gals, guys or friends (sounds better,
hehe).
We're happy with the really low "crap" we have on this list and
like to
thank all of you for your great input, messages, tips and tricks and
... fun
;-).
But we also like to remind you all that some stuff like
"race me" or
chatting stuff should be kept private as well as some domestic
car stuff or
other non 3S are not of much interest (sure you don't want to
hear the story
of my Z28. LOL) for anyone on the list. Of course some
"emergency calls" or
track run reports are ok and as long as we don't have
any excessive response
on off-topic stuff we don't see any
problems.
Another note, please change also the topic when the content is
different !
For example, I'm not interested in any sway bar and just delete
the message
with that topic. But as I checked afterwards I found one post
with other,
not really Sway Bar related content. So, please help us lazy
readers not to
miss some good information ;-)
Thanks to all and drive
safely
Roger for the admins

Well you can get 720 NDs with a flow difference of about 10% ! My RC
(Bosch)
have been balanced and came within a 0.1% range including a sheet
with the
data. No problems for me :-)) The injectors he got were probably the
ones
that have been sold from one to another and again to another guy. I've
heard
of such a bad set !

The Borla is not a dual
system as it only splits into an y at the rear diff
and then ends into two
resonators. With this noise yo ucan't tel lthem
mufflers

You can't say it's difficult as you
haven't done this already (smile) and I
can tell you it's easier than you
think. Without the datalogger just follow
the direction in the manual and
thats' it :)

Hmmm, I guess you have
Rev 2 of the ARC so my settings are not good for you.
Just start with 0,0,0,1
click.

Vineet,
Good to hear you solved the

He had asked if it
was a dual "like the stock one", which I took to mean that it has two outputs on
the back of the car, one on each side.
As far as I know, there isn't a
"real" dual system available unless you want to spend really big bucks to get
something that hooks two separate pipes from the pre-cat housings.
Therefore it is "dual" compared to something like the some of the others
available, which exit on one side, and is more "dual" than the stock exhaust
since the flow is split upstream of the
mufflers/resonators/empty-coffee-cans.

I believe that Bozz Speed offers a true dual
exhaust system for our cars. It's about $1600 and I hear it includes
downpipes (2 I guess). It's a nice idea but I understand that there are
some questions regarding it's effectiveness and I've yet to hear of anyone
running or testing it.

Re: Team3S: Gutting pre-cats
Hi John, Congrats on the
permission!
1. I didn't notice that gutting the pre-cats made my stock
exhaust
system much louder. "Better" is probably a good description.
Passing
emmissions here in CO was no problem with only the main
cat.
2. I think any forged piston is good insurance. I don't think it
is
the mods that stress out our engines, but the detonation that
can
happen in a stock or modified engine with bad gas or higher
boost
levels. Venolia, Arias, and JE (others?) make pistons for our cars.
And of course there are the stock Mitsu ones. Shops like GT-PRO,
Dynamic
Racing, and Accel. Access. could probably give you great
advice for
this.

Subject: Team3S: Gutting pre-cats
I
finally pulled the engine in my 91 VR4. I just got the oil pan off
and
the rods look good, nothing is too loose. I pulled the engine
because
of rod knocking so I will have to remove the rod and main
bearing caps and
plastigage the clearance if I don’t see any obvious
damage. I will keep
list updated on progress.
The great news is that my wife gave me
permission to make performance
modifications too the car. Since
the engine is out it is a great
time to do them. My questions
are:
1. Gutting pre-cats, If I leave the regular Catalytic converter
alone
will the exhaust be much louder and I how much power increase can
I
expect (w/o other changes). I wangt to leave the regular
Catalytic
converter alone so I could pass an emmissions test if I ever had
to.
2. What is a good piston for a engine that will be only
mildly
modifed?
