When I first got my car, I purchased the defroster vents as well as a
window switch garnish.  The garnishes have posts in which 'friction'
press-on fasteners are installed from the 'underside'.  I replaced my
broken window switch garnish easily since the door panel is fairly easy
to remove.  My defroster garnishes are still in their plastic
bags....i.e. to do this right, you would need to remove the dash.
Others have taken a shortcut and removed the old ones and glued or
siliconed in new ones without removing the dash.

Brian, you're not alone.  I installed the HKS 90GPH fuel pump, 560cc RC injectors, Dual
Power Flow, and the VPC (along with many other mods) on my 92 Stealth TT and I am having
trouble too.  It choked real bad at first, but after a bit of tuning it will at lease
run.

My problem is that I have a hesitation problem.  Any time I tap the gas petal, the car's
idle drops, then finally picks up and takes off.  The car will also die at idle after
about 1 minute if I don't manually raise the idle by tapping the gas petal.  Also, I use
to run like 1.2+ bar without hitting fuel cut.  It seems now that I hit fuel cut at 1.0
bar and below @ WOT (around 4-5K RPM).  Why I can run LESS boost with this setup over
time only leads me to believe that the detonation that I get EVERY TIME I accelerate at
WOT has damaged the engine...  I would like to look into purchasing the tre-MASC in the
future...

Subject: Re: Team3S: VPC Woes

Have you guys pulled the spark plugs after you installed your VPC? I
experienced the same problem that you guys experienced and it had to do
with the VPC Chip. The chip that HKS includes with the 550 package runs
excessively rich. That could be why your car is dieing out. Pull the
plugs, or at least the front bank of plugs to give you an idea of how
your running. With my 550 program from HKS, the unit ran rich even with
ALL my knobs turned down to the leanest setting.
It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to foul all your plugs.

The only way I cured this was to bug Bob Fontana for a chip. He seems to
have a collection of 550/Stock chips which run not quite as rich as the
ones HKS is distributing now.

I've seem to found that most of the problems related to the VPC when you
first install it, where you gas mileage dramatically drops and your car
dies out or is choking is due to the this chip. Another thing you might
want to adjust is the response knob to a higher setting if your idle is
dropping at throttle tip in.

Subject: RE: Team3S: VPC Woes

The key to tuning the VPC is to start with a clean set of spark plugs and
use small increments to adjust the behavior.  See, our cars LOVE a lot of
fuel.  So, whenever we increase the gain or idle, the car will initially
respond with smoother, seemingly better acceleration.  This improvement is
short-lived as the spark plugs foul out and the ECU begins to make
adjustments on its own.

All of this is not to say that HKS doesn't have a problem managing the
various levels of firmware out there because they do.  In the first couple
of years of messing with the VPC, I received various "releases" of code for
both Federal and California vehicles.  They put forth a final, last ditch
effort at the end of 1995 to try to straighten out the problem after a
number of us complained about having to "launch" at 3000 RPM just to roll
out from a stop.  The results were disappointing.  At this point, it seems
that they have frozen the development of the firmware and fuel maps for the
3/S VPC.

Out of all of the releases of EPROMs, the best two (one for stock injectors
and one for 550CC injectors) have bubbled to the top.  I have carefully
preserved them and have combined them in to a single EPROM.  It turns out
that the stock injector map works well with 550 CC injectors for day-to-day
city driving.  I get 23-24 MPG with it.  At the track, it even worked well
enough to run 11.82 @ 119 MPH with 13G turbos.  But the REAL fun comes in
when the 550 CC map is used.

E-mail me privately for details.

Subject: Re: Team3S: VPC Woes

As far as I recall the VPC doesn't have a learn mode, it simply calls
from a preset fuel map on the chip and there is no learning it what so
ever. What may be the difference is the fact that the vehicle acts kinda
funny when you unhook the battery so the ECU might need to relearn a
bit.
Those sputters which you are getting when you hit boost when the car
dies and sputters and comes back to life, are more likely to be fouled
plugs and a very rich mixture. Once you swap out plugs most of the
sputtering should disappear. Do you have an EGT installed and/or Air
Fuel Ratio gauge?
I would say that you should start tuning the VPC around the 10 O'clock
postion in gain or at the lowest gain possible. I haven't heard of many
people who turn their gain much higher than the 9 o'clock spot.

Well it arrived yesterday...  and...  it's the wrong

The problem seems to have been the result of a change

I noticed the gas mileage drop!  I get about 150 miles to the tank now!  Thats less than
half of what I use to get (about 300-350).  BTW:  In order for my car to even RUN, the
first two knobs MUST be at FULL RICH, and the idle MUST be set around 2:00.  I don't
seem to get fuel cut as bad when I turn the idle knob to full rich, but after a hard
run, the car will die if the idle knob is left at full rich... ????

anyone have information on the output e.g. voltage levels, noise

The DSM guys have a web site relating to this.  I am not sure if
it is the same setup in a 3000GT.  Maybe somebody would like to

From: "Barry E. King" <beking@home.com>
Subject: RE: Team3S: knock sensor

Unfortunately it isn't that simple.  It'd be a great tool if it were.  The
signal sent to the ECU from the knock sensor goes through a lot of
processing and filtering before the ECU decides knock has occurred.  The
knock sensor signal looks extremely bizarre on a scope and normal noises
will cause spikes and amplitude changes that we humans might interpret as
knock when they really are not.  You'd also have to know timing information
since knock only occurs during the 40 degrees BTDC.  There are entire DSP
chips dedicated to being programmed knock detection.

A kit or plans will be made available sometime hopefully sooner rather than
later that uses Audi's plasma detection technology.  Apparently Audi
discovered many years ago that when knock has occurred plasma exists in the
chamber for some period of time with characteristics unique to knock.  This
condition is detectable using a conventional spark plug and some additional
circuitry.  Sounds kinda sci-fi-ish but Audi has been using this technique
in production for the last 7-8 years.  Anyway, when this system evolves for
general use I have been assured it will be inexpensive to implement and dead
reliable unlike the "pretty close" electro-mechanical technique.

In the meantime HKS has a setup that uses two microphones, sure to be too
expensive  You might check Jegs or Summit to see if they have some means of
detecting knock which could be adapted for our cars.

It sucks because you know the ECU is already doing this.  We need someone to
hack the ECU...

As to the DSM "knock detector" mod, I tried it.  It was basically a waste of
effort in my opinion, but others may find it helpful.  When the ECU detects
knock the first thing it supposedly tries to do is reduce boost.  The next
thing is that it retards timing.  The DSM mod reads the boost solenoid
output from the ECU.  I found it virtually useless as the ECU apparently
tries to reduce boost under other non-knock scenarios.  You end up with a
piece of information which you cannot rely on since sometimes the LED
flickers away when there is definitely no knock occurring.

Barry
