Subject: Re: Team3S:
Aftermarket water temp gauge
Thanks Wayne and Barry for posting about the
temperature sending unit.
I took a quick look tonight looking for the
water temp sender. Without
removing I/C hosing I can't really see
much. Does anyone know specifically
on the second gen. how the temp
sender is used and where it is located. I
am planning to hook up an
Autometer mechanical gauge if at all possible.
Also, any additional
comments about the operating temperature? Should I
avoid a gauge that
is limited to 240?
Thanks,
Oskar

I didn't want to make the hose long
enough to reach to the fender well
so when I removed it from the original
position on the firewall (where
it sounded like a machine gun but improved my
gas mileage since I would
tend to stay out of the boost to shut it up!) I
just zip-tied it to the
windshield washer resevoir. Pretty
professional, huh? :-) Can't hear
it, though...
When I get
around to it I plan to remount it in the original firewall
location with a
foam barrier and soft rubber screws.

Team3S: Clear coat pealing on 1/4 panel
I've just had to replace the
glass quarter panel next to the passengers
window ( the panel with "twin
turbo" written on it ) on my VR4 after the
clear coat pealed off. I tried to
have it repaired but apparently it
cant be fixed.
I now notice the drivers
side is doing the same . Is there anyway to
stop this ( the drivers side has
pealed off about the size of a thumb
nail ) before the whole thing peals off?
Is this a common problem?
BTW, I took a mates Nissan GTR 33 VSPEC (stock)
for a drive the other
day & although my car runs a only a few pound extra
boost than stock &
no other mods, for raw power it absolutely blows the
GTR away. I
couldn't believe the

RE: Team3S: EGR
Beg to differ. On '94+ turbo models, your EGR
temperature sensor will =

Check Engine lights at random intervals

Yes, you're right, also any California cars.
There's a sensor attached =
to the egr. But you're ok on 91-93 non-california
cars.
More importantly, consensus among list experts is that the ECU adjusts
=
fuel
levels to compensate for the change in mixture when the EGR valve
is =
open.
Normally, low-oxygen exhaust gas enrichens the mixture, so the
ECU will
reduce fuel levels when it signals the EGR valve to open. If the EGR

system
is blocked, this will lean out the system, and on a modified car,
this =
could
lead to detonation... i.e. BAD.
No Way. The ecu does not
look at the egr. The egr, by introducing "hot" =
exhaust gases into the
intake lowers the NOx emmissions, which is tested =
for in Cal. hence the
sensor on those cars. By blocking it off you lower =
you're intake temp.,
which anything will result in a richer mixture. =
You're exhaust temps. will
also be lower, confirmed by a list member who =
recently performed the mod.
This is a common, "free mod" to dsm's and it =
applies to 3000/stealth's.
I've done it to 2 dsm's, 1 basically stock, =
the other heavily modded and
have had no probs. My stealth also works =
fine, and according to the
datalogger, there's no increase of =
detonation, in fact I'm willing to bet
its decreased.

I store the shade
in my garage, i.e. I never use it. It was on when I got my car
and I wondered
what is it for. In the first summer it didn't help a lot if any,
but Swiss
summers are not that hard :)
Well, this doesn't help you a lot but it is
really existing. Even more, the
sunroof can be detached (I would never
recommend this) and be placed in the
truck. There are special "hangers" for
this purpose. The shade is made just to
throw into the
truck.

Jeff
Watson was at the drags and guess what. Jay Marks Toyota bought a
brand
new 6-sp. getrag, gave it to a place that builds transmissions, and
they are
in the process of tearing it down and fabricating their own
replacement
parts. Gears, bearings, synchros, the whole works. This
is
not Toyota sponsored and is solely being done by Jay Marks. They
will
soon have all replacement parts for the getrag. Jeff stated that
they
should be the only people with that capability.
He also said that
the parts would be a little more expensive than they
were hoping for because
there just isn't a high enough demand for parts
to
cover the R&D
costs. Hell, when the word gets out that you can now
service the
getrag, every mofo is going to be power shifting, blowing
gears and the
demand will go up. This is very good news for the
getrag
owners.

the two clips on the front (in relation to the car) and
has a cam lock

talk of temps in excess of 1700 [ not a good thing -- I hear ]. Second
---
several types of probes are available for the EGT one looks like 1/8 "

compression fitting another just drills a small hole and the probe is
held
in with a clamp. Can the front manifold be drilled and tapped for 1/8"
pipe
fitting or does it have to be welded.
Question three [ so I

and dual CHT
in the car or is that overkill for non racing use.

EGT/CHT
Dual EGTs are nice but probably not totally necessary. My
experience with
CHTs is that they are of passing interest only and not of any
real value.
By the time CHT raises to a point of caution any damage is long
since been
done. EGTs will give typically you at least some grace
period where you can
take some action.
The clamp in pyrometers do work
(I have used them on motorcycles and sleds)
but I personally prefer the
tapped ones. There is room to mount a probe in
the front or rear
manifolds on our cars.
Be sure to get a fast acting J-type probe and that
it is calibrated for use
on the ground. Aircraft and especially
snowmobile calibrations may be
slightly different. Sometimes they are
calibrated at 0 C whereas "normal"
ones are typically calibrated at 70
F.

RE: Team3S: EGT/CHT
I'm probably going to buy a dual EGT/CHT gage from
aircraft spruce and
specialty CO.[aircraft-spruce.com]
pages 337 & 338
of their on- line catalog. Two questions --- is 1700
degrees
F enough ??
I've seen you folk
talk of temps in excess of 1700 [ not a good thing -- I
hear ]. Second ---
several types of probes are available for the EGT one
looks like 1/8 " pipe
compression fitting another just drills a small hole
and the probe is held
in with a clamp. Can the front manifold be drilled and
tapped for 1/8" pipe
fitting or does it have to be welded.
[Brian
Danley] This is where I have mine.. in the front
header. I
tapped mine and then had casey weld it (just to make sure it
was in there).
Be sure it's before the precat. Also the front
header can be 100F less
then the rear. As for the temp .. 1700 is
fine. I hear the magic # is
1600 F for a good lean mixture. I
wouldn't like going over that too often
... I have .. but don't like
too.
Question three [ so I lied :-) ] is there any sense in
putting a dual EGT
and dual CHT in the car or is that overkill for non racing
use.
