Team3S: POTHOLES!!!
Well Saturday, around noon, I was driving I-40
Eastbound, in St. Louis,
around 141 Mason Rd. area,(St. Louis guys know
where), far left lane.
I was doing about 60, because the road was wet from
the abnormal
snow we had that morning. I hit this series of potholes, almost
lost
control of my car, damn near threw me into the next lane.
All of
a sudden my ECS light starts flashing, I pull over to have a
look.
My left
front wheel, and tire are completely destroyed, my left rear
wheel
is
damaged, and apparently my left front strut is damaged.
I have called the
highway dept. to find out if they will pay to have the
car
repaired. Does
anyone know anything about these type of issues?
On Saturday I called the St
Louis Co. dept of trans, and they told me
if the road was one that they
maintain, that they do indeed pay for the
damage.
Unfortunately they dont
maintain I-40.
Advice, information, on any similar experiences would be
much
appreciated.
If anyone has one 6 spoke 18" chrome rim for
sale, I suppose I may be
in the
market by this afternoon. I have little
faith in the state taking
responsibility for this.

I
haven't had that setup, but let me comment on this subject.
A
deterioration of the catalyst occurs when it comes in contact with
fuel-rich
exhaust. That's one of the reasons they put the pre-cats
there in the first
place. If you have a stock fuel setup, i.e., no
equipment that modifies
fuel delivery in any way, you might get away with
gutted pre-cats for years.
Changes that we make to our fuel systems are NEVER
tested to the same degree
that the OEM does, and therefore, we can never
predict how much unburned
fuel is passing through the main converter at any
time, especially during
warmup. Personally, I'd replace the main with a
test pipe (for off-road use
only).

Try living in Michigan. We are the pothole

this morning on the radio they were talking
about a 10ft pothole.
There were like 10 cars on the side of the road with

Gentlemen,
Friday, I posted to the list information on
a Bosch, headlight conversion
kit that allows H4 bulbs to be installed.
I personally went with a couple
of blue 100/80W halogens. Very
cool. Ridiculously bright. Anyway, I also
went for the snake-eyes
mod while doing the job. My vehicle is a 91 STT.
If you read the
modification instructions on the 3si.org page it "warns"
that the fog lights
my cease to operate while the head lights are on in this
particular iteration
of the Stealth. Well after performing the operation
guess what has
ceased to operate. My question for the group is simply this;
Does
anyone have a 1991 Dodge Stealth with the ability to have the fog
lights
operating at the same time as the headlights as well as having
performed the
snake-eyes modification? My vehicle sits in pieces awaiting
knowledge
from the group. If anyone has the solution to this problem, could
you
please post some brief instructions as to how to rectify this
problem.
Thanks,
mike

FogLight Wiring Mods Was:Re: Team3S: RE: Team3S Digest V1 #82
This is
"future 3si content" but it does have some wiring tips to change
foglight
behavior.
This is a modification to allow the fog lights be
operational while the
headlights are off or on high beam, or both, depending
on the year of
the vehicle.
Please do not attempt these mods if
you are unfamiliar with basic
wiring.(stripping, crimping, etc.) Or you are
not comfortable with
cutting and splicing you're wiring harness.
When
performing these mods, use real connectors. DO NOT "twist and
tape".
Other than basic hand tools, you will need a wire stripper,
cutter,
crimper, some crimp on connectors, and/or wire nuts.
91 model is
different than all others, be sure you do the correct mod
for you're vehicle
year.
NOTE: Always dis-connect battery before doing anything
with the wiring.
MOD 1, 91 YEAR MODEL ONLY - The fog lights will remain
illuminated when
high beams are on.
1. Locate the fuse box near the
air filter - gain access to the
underside of the fuse box by removing the 3
bolts that hold it in place.
2. Remove the lower cover by lightly prying
out the clips while pulling
the cover out of the way.
3. Locate the
fog light relay - it is the 3rd relay from the front of
the box. (Top cover
of box has diagram)
4. Cut the red/white wire leading to the fog light
relay socket as far
away from the socket as possible, but leaving enough
slack on the
harness side to re-connect it if you decide to go back to
stock.
5. Connect the relay socket side of the wire to a good ground. Cap
off
the harness side of the wire with a wire nut, or butt
connector.
6. Replace the lower cover of the box, and re-install the box
with the 3
bolts.
That concludes phase 1. You're fog lights will now
work with high beams.
MOD 2, 91 YEAR MODEL ONLY - Fog lights will
function with headlights off
(parking lights on)
1. Remove the
instrument cluster bezel (black piece which houses the
fog/pop-up switch and
the ecs/rear defogger switch) by removing 2
screws. Dis-connect the 2 switch
connectors.
2. On the harness connector that goes to the fog/pop-up
switch, cut the
red wire with the blue stripe (NOT the blue wire with red
stripe) at a
point where both ends will be accessible. This wire is the one
in the
top corner of the connector.
3. Connect the switch side of the
wire to a 12v source controlled by the
tail lights. Cap off the harness side
with a wire nut, or butt
connector.
4. re-connect the harnesses to
the switches and replace the bezel.
Note: High beam will still disable
the fog lights, unless both mod 1 and
mod 2 are done.
MOD 3, 92-97
YEAR MODEL ONLY - The fog lights will remain illuminated
when high beams are
on.
1. Remove the instrument cluster bezel (black piece which houses the
fog/pop-up switch and the ecs/rear defogger switch) by removing 2
screws. Dis-connect the 2 switch connectors.
2. On the harness
connector that goes to the fog/pop-up switch, cut the
red wire with the
white stripe at a point where both ends will be
accessible.
3.
Connect the switch side of the wire to a good ground. Cap off the
harness
side with a wire nut, or butt connector.
4. re-connect the harnesses to
the switches and replace the bezel.
NOTE: On the 92-97 year models, I
have not yet figured out how to
duplicate mod 2 above. (foglights on without
headlights)
All three of the modifications will allow the fog light
switch to
function properly. (you can still turn off the fog lights
completly)
Good luck, and good lighting!!
. My question for
the group is simply this;

Re: Team3S: .... bought an alarm...
There is also something out there
called the auto-taser. Nothing like
50,000 volts. Then you have
up to a half hour to find them laying there
helpless to beat the living hell
out of them. Now that is my kind of
alarm. Or you can get what
they have in South Africa to curb car
jacking. Its a flame thrower
that shoots liquid petroleum up to 8 feet
from the both sides of the
car. Of course its not legal over here. But

hehee... I remeber the
story... I work on the TV show "Extra" and we ran
that story last
week.
How about when an intruder enters the vehicle,
visible yellow smoke
starts pouring out of the air vents. It will be harmless
of course, but it
will scare the sh*t out of him!
BTW, that pain generator idea on a previous post is basically what I had
in
mind but I figure a full on siren would be louder!

Team3S: EGT Temperatures
I installed an Apexi EGT
gauge on my '95 Stealth RT TT this
weekend. Took a lot longer than I
thought. This was due to two bolts
breaking which meant I had to
totally remove the front turbo. I
installed it in the front exhaust
manifold about an inch before the
turbo. I figured this is will give me
the most accurate readings of the
gas coming out of the front bank.
Only thing I did not like about it
was the large fitting, which I think
decreased the outlet area by about
10 percent.
What
is the maximum temp I should see? I played with it a little
tonight on
the drive home from work, and got it to hit 950-975 deg. C
(1742-1787
F). I was going about 120 MPH at the time with 14 psi of
boost. I
had to slow down because of traffic, but it was still climbing
before I let
off the gas. This seems very high to me.
With no load on the
turbos, just cruising down the highway, the temp was
between 700-800 deg. C
(1292-1472 F).
Overall, I think these numbers are very high.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike 0018

RE: Team3S: EGT Temperatures
Those look pretty normal, given where you
have the probe. Depending on your
A/F ratio and ambient air temps (50s
or cooler), you can see 1700F+ easily.
Just don't keep it there. I
wouldn't necessarily adjust the A/F ratio to
achieve lower EGT temps in 4th
or 5th. Instead, you're safer lowering the
boost level so that the
temps are no more than 1450F at WOT. Now, in 1st,
2nd and 3rd, because
of the short duration, A/F ratio can be adjusted to
peak at 1700F+ but you
had better lift off the throttle if you see it climb
past that!

That is what I see. Good to see others there, I have been
ashamed of my
high EGT's in the past, but now we can commiserate! I
have seen 1850F
at DSM vs 3S Drag Event in Texas, 11/96, when I had 550cc inj
and
15G's. I regularly see it go over 1700, to 1750 or so and
climbing
slower, on accel runs.
This can be two things...
1)
too lean. Get rich. Buy bigger injectors/an AFC. Or, sit
tight,
stare at wall, and keep repeating "LEAN IS MEAN"...
2) very
retarded timing: your gas hasn't enough octane for the boost
you are
running-->you are detonating--> knock sensor is doing
the
Cucaracha-->ignition timing retarding to stone age, and some gas
is
still burning/BLOWTORCHING while shot into the exhaust manifold.
Use
higher octane gas. I have seen a drop of 100F anecdotally using
race
gas 114 octane, vs. crappy "reformulated" (oxygenated with MTBE
or
Ethanol) gas peddled around my area due to draconian and
frequently
anti-scientific environmental laws which are making my environment
way
too clean for me to live HAPPILY :)

Team3S: Front Wheel Dif. ?
Hey gang,
Just have a quick question
that I wanted to verify.
Is the Front Wheel Drive differential on the VR4
a limited slip unit or just a regular
dif ?
Curious, because I read
somewhere that it was but wasn't sure of the source for the
info.

Subject: Team3S: F*cked
my GT up...
I had a crappy weekend. I was doing about 30 on a city road
when this
guy in front of me slams on the brakes to avoid running a yellow.
This
really caught me off guard, but I figured I had enough room to
stop
(about 30 feet). I gave the brakes firm pressure however i
wasn't
stopping fast enough so I proceeded to slam on them. The brakes
locked
up and the car slid the rest of the way into the back of a
massive
'80'sish mercedes. The driver of the mercedes and I both got out
to
check the damage. There wasn't even a tiny scratch on the mercedes
while
my brand new bumper was completely screwed up. The paint is
seriously
marred on the immediate front and it is majorly flaking around the
right
headlight. Funny thing is I just replaced my front bumper cover about
2
months before because some idiot hit me in a parking lot. Well this
time
it was my fault and I have no intention of filing a third claim within
a
year. My question is this. Since I will probably have to replace
the
cover again, can anyone tell me if I can obtain the '99 bumper cover
for
my GT? Or does erebuni sell the front piece of the shogun
kit
separately? How about the bozz speed front bumper extension?
Thanks
for reading; sorry about the long post!

If there's only flaking paint and some
moderate marring of the finish, a
good detailing shop can repair the bumper
and match the paint. As a result
of a Jimmy backing into me in a
parking lot and mashing the front license
plate into the bumper AND a right
front smash of unknown origin, the local
shop here only charged a couple of
hundred $ for a perfect repair and paint
job.

I'm not sure if
the
alarm circuitry can handle the load of two, maybe three sirens so I will
add
a relay.
[Brian Danley]
Yes add a relay. I had a show
truck with 3 sirens and one Fan Siren (off a
fire engine). It was very
loud. The problem with this is the more sirens
you put on the less
easy it is to turn off from far away. If you can find
it there is a
siren called The Siren From Hell. It's loud but it makes a
different
sound then the common 5-6 tone. You can also get one that just
makes
one tone ..That way it's different from the others. By the way you
bought a nice unit, DEI makes some of the best products on the
market.
