Antenna Sticking (help!)
i don't think it's that hard to replace the
mast. accourding to the manual,
i don't know if you have to do anything
inside the car at all. i believe it
just requires removing the bolt around
the base of the mast outside, pulling
the old one out, and then putting the
old one part way in, turning the radio
off and letting the motor pull it the
rest of the way. the manual tells how
to do this.

RE: Team3S Digest V1 #106
Do not use WD-40 or any other lubricant on your
antennae. These will
attract more dust and dirt and eventually turn it
into thick, hard grime
that will make it even more difficult for the antennae
to retract fully. The
best thing to do is to thoroughly clean it, while it is
extended, with pure
alcohol. You can purchase this at any hardware store and
even some grocery
stores. Use a clean cloth and wipe it down fully,
including near the base
where the grime tends to collect.
Hope that
helps.

Today I noticed the radio antenna is

Haven't driven the car in 2 weeks.
What causes this? and how do I remedy
it? when I got home I
sprayed wd40 over it but still no help. I had to
manually help the car
by pushing down on it until it was free enough to go
all the way, same
w/pulling it up.
Help needed,

I seem to recall achieving 10-12 PSI in first
depending upon how I had the
AVC-R set up. That was also with the stock
9Bs but using an AVC-R. 15 PSI
came easily once in 2nd though.
The car spends so little time in 1st and is
under less load that it likely
doesn't get a chance to push enough exhaust
through the turbines.
I
notice with the 15Gs though I usually hit 15 psi in 1st. You'd think
the
slightly incresed lag of the 15Gs but would work against getting any
serious
boost in 1st but maybe the fact that they push that much more air
helps.
Anyway, I am fairly certain what you are observing is pretty
normal. Have
fun with the new
power.

Barry

No, it is not that easy to tune in ! It
is different on any cars as Gain
and Ratios do vary. If you say accelleration
is smooth then Gain is set
to a very low level. Also peak boost is not
contignous boost ! So what
are you referring to, peak or stable
??
Also what doy ou mean by "other gears" ????

secrets

So what was the problem at last
? You changed the plugs and with another
VPC you got the same results and
then not ? Sorry, I'm a little slow

I expected
the car seeing in the high 13's with a good spray but my
guess is that your
fuel system is weaker than on the VR4 and does not
deliver the desired amount
of fuel. Or do you use a fuel/nitrous fogger
system ? Tweaking the ECU with
the AFC does not help anything unless the
injectors are changed. The settings
are compensated by the O2 reading
the ECU learns at non-WOTs. Fuel is always
desired on the spray.

Roger (currently CA)

If you have ticking, you might want to find a good flush like
GUNK and run it through as
per directions before you drain and change
filters. Then just fill it with your choice
of synthetic, appropriate for the
weather /conditions of course.

Group
I recently heard some horror stories coming from a
Ford dealership about
how bad some aluminium engines there had been damaged
from infrequent
(rather than regular) change of antifreeze. This had me
somewhat
concerned given our own mostly aluminium engines, so I did a
private
survey of some of our more noted members, who had taken apart
their
engines for rebuilds. I was particularly intereseted if any had
noticed
the corrosion and bad acid etching caused by antifreeze
as per this
Service Manager's discription. The answers: all the 3S
engines looked
new (exception being a few unrelated pistons) However,
this is the
second time I have encountered bad stories about antifreeze and
it's
effects on aluminum...so change yours ever year or two just to be
safe.

roger the
original message said Blitz SSBC --- I didn't have the big
bucks for the DSBC
--- I dont have ratios and such. I do have gain but I
haven't played with it
much yet. It will hold 15 pounds of boost in second
and third at least for a
few seconds while accelerating uphill. Testing has
been done in town and is
therefore limited in terms of maximum performance.
First gear has strong
linear acceleration with no flat spots but boost is
limited to about 10
pounds.

Team3S: Engine oil: turbo vs. lifter wear
Can anyone give an opinion as
to the effects of engine oil on turbo vs.
lifter
wear and any tradeoffs
using one oil vs. another? I believe I saw a post
suggesting non-synthetic
oil for N/A engines to keep the lifters happy since
N/A engines don't have
the high temps the turbo engines do.
<snip>
What is my preferred oil
in this case?

=========================================
Paul...
I highly
recommend sticking with the synthetic oil. You'll be doing your
turbos a
favor and I've never heard anyone claim that synthetic oil does any
sort of
damage to lifters. Many of us use 5w-50w synthetic which drains out
of the
lifters at idle, or if the car has been sitting for a long period of
time.
This is not damage, just the result of the lighter viscosity.

forward...Chris
