Hey Arty....Depending on what the outcome is on my
crash situation...I may
have the
perfect "shell" for you to build
from. If my car can't reasonably be fixed
and they
want to
total it out....I'll make sure you get first dibs if interested.
It
would be an
honor to know that my baby went to a good
home.

Team3S: ACT clutch.
Well, I finally got my transmission rebuilt and
installed with the ACT
racing clutch.
The best news is that since it
uses a 6 puck copper-ceramic solid disk,
it doesn't need any break-in
period. Let me just say that this clutch
is like an ON/OFF
switch. It is definitely not for the faint hearted
drivers. For
city driving it's OK, but you must get used to reving up
to 2000rpm at each
stop sign/red light, otherwise the car just shakes
and stalls. A little too
high lets say 3000 rpms and the tires break
loose (at least the front ones)
mind you that I have 1/32" thread left
on Eagles GS-Cs and it is cold here
(in the low 40s). Wow what a
feeling!
Unfortunately the
transmission rebuild requires a 500 - 700 mile
break-in period, so no hard
launches until then. I will post an update
on the transmission rebuild
by TRICO and the clutch performance during
hard launches/fast shifting after
the break-in period of the
transmission is over.
So far I'm very happy
with this clutch and I know it has the power to
hold everything I have to
give it!

RE: Team3S: ACT clutch.
Glad to hear that you're back running, Joe.
I think it's the other way
around: copper-ceramic puck clutches most
definitely DO need a 500+ mile
breakin. On the other hand, I've never
heard of a transaxle needing a
break-in.

Team3S: Alterations for boost increase
Could somebody comment on the
following please.
What is the benefit of platinum tip plugs when incraesing
boost?
It was recomended to me to change the fuel filter before increasing
the
boost, does this have to be a special type of fuel filter or can it
be
an original one?
Why is it necessary to change the fuel filter before
the boost is
increased? ( Obviously it has to do with maintaining adequate
fuel flow
under higher boost but is it because the older the filter is, the
more
clogged it is likely to be? My car has done 80,000km )
BTW,
Roger,...on the dyno results you have on your web page, your car
produced
284hp at 6.5psi & with the bleeder 352hp at 10psi. Does this
mean that
your car when it was stock produced a maximum boost of 6.5psi?
Or are there
different places that the boost can be measured that lead
to different boost
levels being obtained? I was under the impression
that the first gen. cars
ran about 8psi & produced 280hp & the second
gen. 3000's ran about
12psi & produced 320hp, but you got 352hp at
10psi? Could you plesae
explain this as I'm wanting to increase my cars
boost to 12psi, but if I get
results similar to yours it will produce hp
in the high 300's.
Thanks
