G-Force ecu on a non-turbo
Has anyone out there with a non-turbo
installed a G-force ecu? I was
planning this as my next modification, but
with the cost involved, i
want input as to how effective it is. What do they
change from the stock
ecu, the fuel maps, timing, or the ignition? What kind
of HP gain can be
realized with this mod? Thanks for any
info.

ABS light
Hi guys,
I hope you are having a good holiday..
You have
not heard form me yet, My name is Marc Jaffe, I am in New York, And I have a
95
VR4 with 62k miles
1)My ABS light has been coming on ..if i restart the
car it goes out. I t seems to come on
more when the car has sat for a while.
It always goes out when i restart.
A)is one of the sensors failing?
B)how
do I tell which?
C)is it a big deal to replace? I see one bolt?
D how
much?
next
2)what does the controller box under the the heater
vents on the passenger side control?
I have a squeaky fan and when you take
off the plastic to get to it there is a box
attached?..Hopefully the squeak
is gone..this is just a question of what is it?
3)I have seen some
threads on shocks and am questioning if these are a big deal to
replace
myself (stock) because of the ECS?
4) my Reciever (infinity)
has lost the FM amp but the cassette, cd and AM are fine. It
starts out fine
and then fades to almost nothing..the rest are fine..I live and travel
on
dirt roads and I am thinking maybe a solder joint is wacked, but that does
not compute.
Big deal or cost to repair? I want to keep the setup for
now.
I look forward to your responses, and have a good new
year
Marc

Hi Marc, I can help a little with the FM reception.
Apparently the
Infinity head has a little defect that dodge and mitsu refuse
to recall. the
FM curcuit has a defect in the IC section that requires the
unit to be sent
in for repair. Dealers are familiar with this
problem.

Well First thing to check would be the whireing
itself. They have been
know to come off. This happens right near
the strut. You can take off the
strut cap, which is located on top of
the strut (big black rubber cover).
You can then see the wires. Check
to make sure there making a connection
and also fro corrosion. 90% of the
time this is what it is. Even better yet
just go to this page on John's site
and it will show you how to do this.

Exactly... Now, unfortunately this issue of the ECS light blinking
is not
dealt with entirely correctly. I get the sense that Marc wants to
replace
the struts, though it's not totally clear. First, let me comment on
the ECS
blinking light; I've done so before. Simply a break in the connector
wiring
at the top of strut is not the sole cause of the problem. If there's
a
break in the filamentous wiring within the strut, you will get the
blinking
too. It's impossible to fix, short of strut replacement. So, I live
with a
blinking light. Does anyone know how to cut out that light? As for
Marc's
question on replacing struts, if I understood correctly, I wouldn't
think
this is a simple job... Electronics, springs, need to do a 4
wheel
alignment, etc. Either I cut the wire (but my struts are in good
shape),
suffer from blinking light blindness, or go for GABs.

It's too easy to hit the respond button, type your offering, then

RE: Team3S: ABS light
An ABS light staying on for any period of time is
very likely a bad sensor.
The shop manual has a pretty decent set of
diagnostics to discover what the
problem is. I hit some debris one
night (a tire iron actually) and it
knocked out the sensor on my right rear
wheel. The light stayed on solid
until the sensor was replaced.
Cost for the sensor was ridculous -- at the
time, I believe it was
$400. But then again, that was before I knew
anything about these cars
and the dealership was probably soaking me.

I never heard of anybody who did this nor have
I heard of G-Force making one for
the NT's. Even more I doubt that they are
making it because there is too less
gain, if any, for the
bucks.
There's no need to change the ECU on the NT unless you are
changing the cams,
fuel system, throttle body, heads and valves/lifters. Only
then a changed timing
and fuel delivery (fuel Maps) would make sense to
achieve the best result.
Sorry, any ECU-upgrade for your car is not worth the
money.
If you want to do something good to your NT, try to find a path
for good fresh
air through the way we have our intercoolers. Any "RAM"-air
system are only
called like this and do only give fresh air the way to the
filter. They do not
have a proven RAM air effect.
You can also try to
install a Te-Zett "Turbo". This is a little electric fan
that runs on a very
high RPM and delivers a small amount of air. it works good
on smaller
displacements and becomes less efficient on more than 2.5l. A buddy
of mine
(from the Netherlands) installed it in his 3.8l Camaro and says the
throttle
response is better as well as acceleration, not alot but better. Have a
look
at http://sunflower.singnet.com.sg/~racer/index.html

Yes, defintiely the plugs and maybe the wires if
your older ones were not in
good condition. The higher boost is related to
the fuel be burnt better now.
Also, having some slight hesitation around
15psi, can be caused due to knock and
the timing then slightly retarded. The
cause for the knock could be only one
plug that did not fire perfectly and
causing the noise the ECU interprets as
knock.
Regapping the plugs
(maybe new ones) - the first thing to do when increasing
boost !
