Subject: Team3S: Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulleys

Has anyone installed Unorthodox Racing underdrive pulleys?  What kind
of HP & Torque gains can be expected?  Would it be a more worthy of an
investment to upgrade the fuel system and turbos first?  Or would
there be a reasonable gain with stock turbos?  Any adverse effects?

Thanks,
Chris

The tires can be sold seperatley to this guy...thus i will sell the 17"
chromes for $350 a wheel or best offer. Still would prefer entire
package...

Recap: Stock 17" chrome wheels wrapped with Firestone 255/40/17
SZ50's w/less then 500 VERY easy miles. Chromes have some curb
rash, not visible over 7ft, not visible at night. Still shine great and get all
the looks.

Asking $1750 for the whole deal, $1200 for the wheels seperate, $700
for the tires seperate. New would be $3000ish

Subject: Team3S: Need TMO Datalogger but who sells it ??

During the time I was in the States I tried to get the TMO Datalogger for my 93
car. I got some information but finally no dealer in the States sent me an
appropriate answer. I know that Buschur racing has it on his list but I did not
got an answer upon my emails during the last month. The same happend to other
dealers and I'm not sure if the guys just don't want to make any business over
the Web. I feel a little pissed about no answers and I'm therefore looking for
another source. Please note that I must be able to buy the thing with credit
card as all other ways are just too expensive and that's why I can't buy it
directly from TMO.

Thanks for any input,

I'm installing a Hella conversion kit on my Stealth (as soon as the check

As for the snake-eyes question, I haven't done that little mod yet, so can't

The Ray's Challenges in 18x9 should run about $2000-2200
for the set, depending on who you buy them from.  The BF
Goodrich G-Force T/A KD's run for about $300 a pop, so
your grand total is about 3400 clams.  Have fun.

  Actually, both were done with stock turbos.  I'm not sure about Mike's run as far as fuel
mods are concerned, but Adam was claiming complete exhaust, intake, and a boost controller
only.  I'm not even sure fuel mods would be a great help with stock turbos, they seem to have
a problem staying above 1 atmosphere for long in 1st and 2nd and only want to hold about .8
to redline.  Besides, isn't the point whether it was stock turbos or not?  Check out
http://www.alteredatmosphere/projects.htm, and I'm sure Adam would tell us what he ran if we
ask.

Maybe they improved?
Its interesting that neither HKS or Alamo include a larger "Y" pipe with the
Hard pipe kit.
It really should come with a kit as expensive as the pipes kits are. My first

Hi Paul;

To reset your ECU all you do is disconnect your Battery positive for 10 or 15 minutes,
then reconnect. Be sure and do this when working on your car (ie: installing new
componenets).

Couple of reasons I can think of ..the first being saftey, as outlined in the manual (no
point in harming it) and the second is to speed up the learning process so it does not
have to resort data: it starts with a clean uncluttered baseline.

I can't sing high enough praises for the quality service I have received
from Chien at Nexus Motorsports over the last year or more.

http://www.nexusmotorsports.com

Be patient as he is a busy guy, which further speaks to the fact that he has
other loyal customers as well.

I have KVR carbon/kevlar pads and KVR rotors on a '94 VR4.  I have been very
happy with both.  Stopping power and consistancy is markedly improved over
stock.  Expect more brake dust if you move from from street-oriented to
performance oriented pads.  Some are better than others in that regard.  I
am sure others can comment on different pads.

I finally went over to my F-Body sources (Camaro/Firebird) as their prices are
better (AutoMeter, Paxton and fuel parts) and if I know what I want they can get

You can place a secure credit card order right at this site, worked very good for me and I had it delivered to my door within  a week.

Or if you want to buy in Europe you can get it from http://www.dalhems.com (I think it's down right now or maybe it's just something wrong with my browser) and remember that their prices include 25% swedish tax that you don't have to pay.

I'd rather leave it plugged in unless you are doing electrical work.  I
think it would be preferable that it not have to relearn EVERYTHING, just
the changes in the sensor calibrations that are affected by the
modifications made.  Why have the ECU relearn all the fuel trim tables for
part throttle and idle when most likely the modifications won't affect part
throttle as much as WOT, which comes from a static table anyway?
Uncluttered baseline means the computer knows nothing about the specific car
and has to figure out all of it again...

I think the size is 165mm.  Yes you have to splice on a new connector.
Here is an included post with a little more info.

- ------ INCLUDE -----------
> did I hear first Gen. headlight upgrade please elaborate more on this thanks

1st gen cars have small rectanglular headlights.  These can be
upgraded to Euro standard Hella headlamps that accept H-4 bulbs.
They have a better reflector, clear glass, and produce a beam with a
sharp horizontal cutoff on low beam.  Also, the right side of the beam
angles up so you can read signs.  Thus, you can aim them so the beam
cuts off at the height of someones bumper.  Then when you run brighter
bulbs, you won't be offending the oncoming traffic..  H-4 bulbs
come in a variety of wattages and a few colors too.

I currently have Hella headlamps, clear German 80/100 watt (or 85/100
??)
H-4 bulbs, and clear 100 watt H-3 bulbs in the stock foglamps of my '91
VR4.  I have no problems with fuses blowing or wires melting.  I tried
Imparts
Korean blue H-4 bulbs and H-3 bulbs  but had trouble with reliability
and
the law -- they are illegal.  The Hella lamps are also for off road use
only
since they are not sealed beam, but I've been using these for over 10
years on several cars with no problem.  We don't have vehicle
inspections
in Calif. though.

H-4 bulbs are not a direct replacement however.  The stock connector
looks like this | _ / while the H-4 connector looks like | _ |  (hope I
don't
have that reversed :)).  Also the wires are switched.  The Hellas come
with a short wire converter that also won't work with the stock
connector.
You have to cut off the stock headlight connector and splice on the
correct connector of the H-4 convertor. There is a wiring diagram
and it is really not that difficult for the do-it-yourselfer.

The H-3 bulbs also came with the wrong connector.  It is easy though
to cut off the spade connector and crimp on a bullet connector.

I bought everything from Imparts at http://www.imparts.com.  The Hella
headlamps were about $80 a pair.  The H-4 bulbs for about $14 a pair.
The H-3 bulbs for my foglights were about $7 for the pair.The Hellas
come
with 55/65 watt bulbs that I keep as spares.

Dunno...guess it's a matter of preference. Most of the modes done initially (K&N, BC,
etc) require disconnecting the battery positive for the saftey reason (electrical) which
you quote. I t takes the car no time to relearn in these situations. Myself, I am always
erring on the side caution (better safe than sorry), but if an individual finds this
troublesome, then fill your boots. In my case, I beleive in ruling out possible
conflicting data by disconnecting. It shouldn't conflict, and the ECU should do what
it's supposed to do, but then my own PC shouldn't get it's rare glitches either.
