Team3S: Ball joint replacement
Wasn't someone working on a replacement solution for the ball joints in the
lower control arm? Anybody remember this? I'd love to be able
to do mine before I get the car all together again and then have to take
it apart.

Hey guys,
I have a 93VR4 with 30K on the clock.
I have noticed the right front clunking when going over bumps or regular
road humps. I just bought the car 2 months ago so I don't know if this is
a normal "Issue Item" on our suspensions (active).
------------------------------
This damn '91 TT is such a love hate relationship! I now have a
loud
knocking sound that is centered right smack dab in the middle of the
intake
manifold.... This seems to point to rod knock (according to
many
experiences from 3Si.org guys). After doing the main in the
arse 60K
service last year, I really don't have the time.. nor want to pull
the
engine myself (if it is rod knock). So does anyone know any good
full
engine service shop in Sacramento?
If the cost ends up too great, I'll probably just trade the thing in "sight
unseen". I should still be able to get 4-5K from a dealership for
it.

What is wrong with boost control. I have seen nothing
but positives for
power and safety for your vehicle if
you USE a good boost controller. The
problems seem to
be more with the manual controllers.
Is this not

I could not disagree more. Snow tires will save your bacon.
Go ahead... Take your chances... It is only expensive sheet metal after
all...
Another thing that some folks don't realize is that rubber compounds on
tires that are sold in southern climates are different than the same tire
sold in a northern climate, or at least with some manufacturers. Also, Z
rated tires need an ambient temperature of 54 degrees or so in order to even
begin to get up to proper operating temperatures. I've personally seen
many different people either damage their vehicle or get stuck with the
"all season radial" or worse yet, a Z rated, high performance tire.
I've also seen the damage that can be done to the inside fenderwells on
3000GTs when tire chains are resorted to. Ugly at best.
If I lived in Texas or Southern California and was going to go skiing once
a year, I'd STILL have the mounted snow tires ready to throw on prior to
departure. Like I said before, cheap insurance and also makes your summer
rubber last longer, provided you stick the snow tires on for several months out
of the year (6 in my case).

On a side and somewhat off topic note, I've added another

#1253 of 2000. So far
it's a fun car to play in but my

the holidays. She's sitting at the dealership right

getting to transfer case and emissions recalls done along
with some

I don't think this has been asked yet, so forgive me if I just missed
it. Has anyone gone in for the recall that previously replaced their
TC out of pocket?
I replaced mine with a unit from MD about 18K ago, and I believe it
started leaking about 5K ago. It was only a couple drips every so
often, so I wasn't terribly concerned, but now that it's on my mind,
I'm
worried about it. I haven't had a chance to check the fluid level
recently, but will do so soon now that I'm good and paranoid.
The question is, will the dealer balk at a "non-original" part? IIRC,
the (new) case cover was painted black and they used some sealer (RTV?)
that's slightly visible.
Since the TC that came out was the original (I think - I'm not the original
owner of the car), would they pay me for my expense
retroactively
(even though I didn't buy it from the dealer), or just
swap the current one,
or not at all because it's not original?
btw, to anyone that doubts the seriousness of this, take a look
at:
I was probably only a few miles away from being a statistic.

Running BFG gForce KD's on my 97 VR4 .............. NOT a good choice
for even the mild Winters of Philly (or even wet weather for that
matter). REALLY depends on the driver and how radical they are.
The
'take no prisoner' Winter drive may be able to get by on something like
KDWs or KDWS's in the winter with our AWD or maybe FWD. The really
safe
thing is a beater set of rims with snows. A lot of down time with

RE: Team3S: Transfer Case Recall - previously replaced
Dave,
Three days before the recall was posted here, I pulled the
transfer out of our 92 Stealth and took it apart. The bearings on the
input side, like yours, were trash! Not as bad, no case damage. I had alot
of leakage and nose from it, but I think the problem comes from too much
preload on these bearings. IMHO I think these things were never set up
right at Getrag from the start. I work on trucks. Sometimes people
tighten the wheel bearings too tight, (too much preload) then the bearings are
overloaded. They wear out quickly, spald, and throw their metal around the
inside of the assembly, they run loose then, and tear out the seals from
shaft wobble. That is how these bearings looked like to me. I hope after
this whole recall mess is done, that none of us will have to go through
this again. If my new one starts leaking I will pull it back out and set
it up myself. It can't be any worse than any other gear set I have set up, and
maybe I can get some life from it. Regards, Dave Thrower

Re: Team3S: ECU Upgrade............ GOOD OR Evil
If it was the typical $800 - $900 ECU upgrade then the ECU got a so called
daughterboard. This because the ECU doesn't have a chip or EPROM that
simply can be changed. Therefore the mask-programmed CPU must be desoldered
and the special board mounted in order to be able to change the code.
That's the cause why this mod is expensive.
In an engine with standard injectors, they advance the timing a little and
lock the fuel maps to only one. This makes changing easier and this is why
always the best fuel must be used (no switch to lower grade fuel map
possible anymore). Also the fuel cut limit is increased as well as rpm
limiter (if one wants that). But the true power comes from the boost
solenoid control that keeps the thing longer open and therefore boost up to
about 0.95 bar. The result is about 340hp compared to the 300-320hp but the
most important thing is that torque rises well and this is what one can
feel in the ass. At the end it does about the same like a boost controller
but you don't have to install anything or to tune it in properly.
One thing that is not that good is that the program is not made particular
for this engine. The only best way to do this is to strap the car onto the
dyno and plug an EPROM simulator into the modified ECU. Then download the
new code and run it to the limit where the timing is getting retarded. Then
the code must be changed while the car is held on that critical rpm until
there is no retard including a little safety margin (for the warmer days
!!). Then the final code has found and an EPROM can be burnt that will then
be placed into the new ECU. The result is an optimized code that
accomplishes all the mods in the car as well as the health of the engine.
We did this mod on a clients car and the result was very disappointed. This
due to the fact, that his engine was already in a weak condition and there
was knock already at 0.85 bars.

RE: Team3S: Snow Tires
Jim, do you remember my 235/45-17 Continental Winter Sport tires I had when
we had our dyno day ? They started to slip and almost melted due to the
speed on the drums. But this is exactly what is good on cold streets as the
winter tires are softer and have much more grip compared to summer tires
that are getting hard below 10°C.
I went skiing many years with the 3k and always had winter tires on the
car. The 4WD power transfer worked very well on slippery hard pressed snow
on the streets. Even better they did when there was huge snow, like in a
parking lot close to the ski lifts. I remember that it was snowing all day
long and many cars had to put on the chains just to get out. No problem for
the Mitsu :-)
I always invest in two sets of tires where the stock rims carry the winter
tires and a nice set of wheels also have great summer tires. The investment
should definitely be done if one plans to drive in snow or on very cold
roads (below 0°C). The all seasons are a compromise for all conditions,
they are not best in rain, not really good in snow, not great traction, not
sticky in summer, too soft on hot days, ... just ok. And I don't want to
drive a car that is just ok ;-)

Hi gang! As some of you may remember, I pulled my engine about six weeks

will be a great rebuilder, it had 150000 miles on it and smoked at low rpm

and polish heads, intake, maybe even bigger valves, a new crank kit, bore

need your help. I will try to put it on a web site to show progress. I know it's
going to take some time to do, and everyone's suggestions will be greatly
appreciated, kind of a team 3s team project! So tell me what ya'll think?
Sound like a good project? TIA, Mark with the cool blue stealth NA!

Team3S: Transfer Case Recall - previously replaced
I just bought a 93 VR4 (30K miles) a few months
back. My TC is not leaking but how long can I wait until I take it
in for the recall? I mean can I wait until it starts leaking later in life
and they will still honor the Recall?
At what
mileage is everyone experiencing this leakage? Thanks Vinny

There is nothing wrong with a good electronic boost control ie.
Apexi,HKS,Blitz. Manual controls are much less accurate and don't
compensate for changes in atmospheric conditions. The only problem with
boost controls is the human factor of always wanting more, getting lean
and burning pistons. Been there, done that...Frank
