Go and have the dealer look at it  --- at minimum you've identified a
potential problem while under warranty.

Also get an extended warranty!! You should be able to get at least
a four year 48K mile warranty. May be a bit pricey --1200 to 2000
but IMHO probably worth it.

Subject: Team3S: very strange!!!!!!!

Hello all,

   I have a small question, I was driving my NA yesterday about 90 mph
in 5th gear and it just died. I left it in gear and pulled over to the
side of the road. I then put it in nuetral and proceeded to start it.
It cranked over fine, but wouldn't start. It sounded like it wasn't
getting any gas. I thought the fuel pump went out because I had been
having problems with the fuel system. I tried to start it a couple more
times, about the 4th time I tried it, it just locked up. I was
frustrated last night so I towed it home but havn't looked at it yet. I
was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this and if they
could give me any advice before I start the long trial and error
process.

     Thanks, Dustin

Joshua,
Call HKS at 562-494-8068 they will send/fax you instructions for the EVC IV.
Basically it has a high and low boost setting and it learns through 3rd gear
wide open runs. We have one on our car and sell them all. The HKS is the
best boost control on the market. Keep your settings at 1.00 or lower to
prevent engine damage.

Subject: Team3S: Compresion Check

    Well I did a compression check on my car yesterday.  The reason for
doing it was when I had my car strapped to the dyno in Zurich, I was
getting a lot of oil blowing out of the oil dipstick after teh operator
let off the gas. Which translates to pressure building up in the crank
case.  This was the same symptoms that Roger had before he found that
some of his piston rings were cracked.  For the test I did not follow
the procedure in the service manual, in that I did not put the plenum or
the throttle body on for the test.  I had both removed and disconnected
the crank position sensor.  I also removed all plugs and covered the
holes with clean cloths to check for oil in the cylinders.  I tested
each cylinder twice.  The car has 25k miles.  I am getting a LITTLE oil
in the rear turbo intake piping, but none in the front side.  I think
this is pretty normal though.
    I was really surprised that all cylinders were between 136 and 139
psi.  (normal is 156 psi, minimum is 115 psi with a deviation of 14
psi).  There was no oil coming out of any cylinders.  So did I do the
test right?  I would not think that having the plenum completely removed
would affect the results, but what do you think?
    While I was putting everything back together I was thinking about
reasons why I could be getting the build up (besides a stuck PCV valve)
When we did a compression check of Jim's car in Zurich, I think we were
getting readings around 125 psi (he has a lot more miles on his car than
mine).  So I was thinking that maybe the higher cylinder pressures in my
car were causing some type of blowback.  Then I realized that if Jim's
had lower pressure, then he should be having the problem not me.
    So then I started thinking about the turbos.  If we increase the
boost from a stock of 6-9 psi to 14 psi, then is it possible that we are
putting a strain on the piston rings?  After all at least three people
on this list have had broken piston rings.  And I know many people have
complained about their oil filler caps leaking.  Maybe they are not
leaking, maybe it is just a build up in crank case pressure.
    So is it safe to assume that my car is in good shape?  I did not do
a leak down test, but I am not sure this would tell me anything in this
case anyway.

Thanks,

Mike Chapleski

Subject: Team3S: Powder Coating

    This weekend while I had the plenum off I finally got to try out the
new powder coating system I bought from Eastwood Company a couple of
months ago.  I originally bought the kit for the restoration of an older
car I have, but I thought I would try it out on some things in the
Stealth that are uncoated.  Let me say that I think this system is
great.  Buy doing both the plenum and the rear rocker cover I think I
paid for the system in what it would of cost me to have this done by a
professional service.  The only problem with it is that it requires an
oven to bake the part in at 400 deg F.  And it cannot be an oven you
will be using for cooking food.  Also, you really need to
sandblast/glassbead the part beforehand.  However, as long as the part
is free of corrosion, it is fine.  Also, the part must be made of a
conductive metal.

you can check out the system at www.eastwoodco.com

"Before" I put in my BC, the oil filter cap would get a bit of leakage/oil vapour around
it, so I assume this is normal and nothing to be worried about with average to agressive
acceleration. I'd say you worry as much as me (too much) , and that what is occurring
here is really  much ado about nothing, except normal high crankcase pressure with these
vehicles. As Chris W. recently implied (private humorous communication), if you shift at
or before 3500rpm, you can avoid these problems. :-)

Yes, First off, learn to spell "ROOKIE".hehehe.
If money is a big issue, then get it done custom for a non-turbo. Get
them to run a 3" pipe from the converter (leave this on) and then Y- it
out near the gas tank to 2 1/2 inch pipes, and ansa or other baffled
tips on the end. Cost me 250 bucks with removal of old and installation
of new, and it took less than a day. It will sound good on your Na if
you have the DOHC motor.

    Check the fuel filter....under the battery on the firewall.  I had the same thing
happen to me in my RX-7 one time.....fuel filter was totally blocked.  That's probably
the cheapest place to start.

Subject: Team3S: Relative difficulty of ABS retrofit

When I purchased my car, I believe that the dealer told my insurance
company that my '93 ES had ABS.  I never changed my braking technique,
but in hindsight I don't recall ever sensing that the ABS was doing
anything. Recently, I noticed that there was no fuse in the ABS fuse
block and have concluded that there is no ABS.  It is lucky that there
have been no incidents while my wife was driving my car since I
instructed her in the use of ABS: push as hard as you can and let the
ABS do its thing.

How difficult would it be to retrofit ABS on my car.  I have 65K on my
car and figure that I probably need front pads; haven't checked, but
haven't heard chirpers either.  Question here is what would you guys
suggest as the best pads for a daily driver that is never raced (I've
only had it over 140 twice), never had a warped rotor that I noticed and
intend on keeping stock rotors??

Thanks and regards,
Lynn

Same thing happened on my TT a short time after I installed my FIPK.
Downshifted to third and punched it to pass one day and it died.
Coasted to a stop and could crank the motor but it wouldn't fire.  Like
it wasn't getting any spark or gas...

Seems that because I didn't disconnect the battery during installation,
the ECU never reset itself and the extra airflow caused the MAF to blow
an ECU fuse and shut 'er down.  VERY insidious problem to diagnose.
First, check the fuses in the main fuse box in the engine compartment.
If you find one that is blown, FIRST remove the battery cables, then
disconnect the MAF harness, then replace the fuse, then replace the
battery cables, then reconnect the MAF harness.  If you ignore the
battery and MAF and just replace the fuse, the new fuse(s) will keep
blowing.

Anyway, I hope that's all it is in your case and that this saves you the
trouble and expense of having the car towed to the dealer for them to
figure out (cost me $200 and a great deal of stress!).  Good luck!!

Mike,
Long time no see!  Your spring must be as hectic as mine.  I leave this
morning for another week TDY, after which I'm looking at 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 +
4 week trips with little time between!  Ug...
REALLY glad to hear that your compression check didn't indicate a
disaster.  I will be interested to see what responses you get on the
list, since there has to be an explanation for that temperature probe
being pushed out of your dipstick hole.  You're right that my readings
were in the 125 range, which, if our tests were the same, means that I
should have higher crankcase pressures than you.  BTW, I've been running
1.00 bar of boost for as many miles as you have on your engine!  Is it
possible your oil level was too high and the crank was beating up the
oil, somehow raising the pressure?  Are you still seeing pressure?  I
just can't imagine what's happening here.
Can't wait to see your new powdercoated parts!  Sounds great.

=============================
Chris...

Removing your cat will decrease back pressure, as will adding a larger
diameter exhaust. In the case of the NA engines, this will result in lower
torque, lower hp at the lower rpm range, with some hp gain at higher rpms.
If you're looking for better sound, change the mufflers. If you're looking
for more power on a NA engine, add nitrous.

Looking forward...Chris

P.S...turn on your spell check feature.
