Team3S: Engine Upgrades - possible installation mistakes?, VPC &
BOV
I've written in several times now and have tried to keep up with
the
posts. I've learned a great deal and enjoy contributing when I
can.
However, I'm still confused over some of the mods performed on my
car.
It's a '92 Stealth RT TT that I purchased from Alan Lin last
October.
By chance, does anyone out there know or better yet familiar with
Alan
Lin's car?
As far as I can tell, the powertrain has been modified
in the following
ways:
15G turbos
EVC III
VPC &
GCC
- HKS 550cc injectors w prom upgrade (not sure which
prom)
- HKS in tank fuel pump
G Force reprogrammed ECU
?Bullfrog
racing cams?
HKS Intercoolers
Steel hard pipes (however y-pipe is still
factory original)
Larger throttle body (not sure who's - purple throttle
blade)
?HKS SHC (Super blow off valve High boost Controller)?
HKS Dual
Power Flow (w Super Mega Flow filters)
2.5” t-304 stainless steel DP (not
sure of make - DP doesn't replace
either precat)
3.0” t-304 stainless
steel Borla cat back exhaust
gutted cats
Car once had headers (removed by
previous owner after headers cracked
and replaced with stock exhaust
manifolds)
NGK-R PFR6 J11 plugs (gapped to .032")
'93 5 speed with 25
spline transfer case
Lubricants / Oils I've changed:
engine: Mobil 1
10W30
transaxle: Red Line MT 90
transfer case: Red Line Heavy
Shockproof
differential: Red Line 75W90
I've verified most of
the above mods (since purchase, I've sent the
turbos and heads out for
rebuilds). I have some documentation of
purchases from Alan, however
since Alan did not perform the mods, he was
sketchy on exactly what was
done. What bothers me is that Alan's
mechanic (no offense if your on
the list) appears to have fallen short
of an optimal installations. Not
only does there appear to be excess
hose length and subpar mounting locations
but I fear some of it may be
hooked up incorrectly. Despite this, the
car does run quite well
(haven't run the quarter yet
though).
Question:
VPC - Fontana's ABC's of VPC's is excellent,
but I could really use more
pictures to make sense of some of the
verbage. On the pressure sensor
mounting, what will happen if the
pressure sensor is mounted directly to
the firewall as opposed to upside
down? Also, with the mods I have, can
I remove the stock Turbocharger
waste gate solenoid and just leave the
connector hanging (resides behind
where Fontana shows his pressure
transducer mounted)? Currently, the
temp sensor is mounted at the end
of the intake manifold opposite the
throttle body and the brake booster
vacuum line is at its stock
location. I'll be striving for a setup
nearly identical to Fontana's as
I learn more about it.
BOV - I'm really confused here. I've got an
HKS BOV (not sure which
one) with two supporting sensors?/controllers? (sorry
for the
description, but I don't know what they are). The BOV itself is
mounted
upright with the adjusting screw dangerously close to hitting the
hood.
There are two vacuum ports, one is open to atmosphere (located
on
underside of BOV) and the other evantually reaches manifold
pressure
just past the throttle body (worth mentioning that there are three
tee's
on this line sharing the signal). I'll now try my best to
describe the
two gadgets that seem to be part of the package. One of
the gadgets is
a silver cylinder (I'm guessing some sort of diaphram) with
HKS written
on it in blue. Off the back side is a vacuum line with an
inline filter
(just like the in line filter on the VPC pressure sensor) that
leads to
a tee located ~ 1 inch upstream the FPR. This vacuum line
seems
excessivly long as it routes around the battery (could remove at
least
12" of length once I understand whats going on). The other gadget
is a
similar size dark green box with NOK stamped into it and 3208
written
below in blue ink. There are a total of three vacuum ports on
this
part, two at one end (both capped off) and one on the other which
leads
to a tee on the BOV line. There is a wiring harness that connects
with
both of these gadgets leading ??. I'm wondering why so many ports
are
either capped off or open to atmosphere.
I'll feel better when I
understand the workings of everything under the
hood, thanks for any
help.

Team3S: clutch pedal adjustment
After replacing my clutch last month, I
decided to adjust the pedal
since I heard some other complaints about the
drivetrain "thud" that
were related to the pedal adjustment. I've
noticed this noise slightly
sometimes when letting the clutch out in reverse,
or when letting the
clutch out in 1st (after having just previously been in
reverse).
The shop manual says the top of the pedal pad should be 177 to
182 mm
from the firewall. I had to adjust the stop and pushrod to bring
the
pedal up some to this value. I measured between the clutch pedal
and
the floor, after having pulled up the carpet. There is still a bit
of
padding under the carpet that I didn't pull up, but I added just a
bit
of correction for that. I had to adjust the pedal stop almost as
far
out as it goes to get that height.
I got the pedal adjustment done
without much trouble, then checked the
clearance with the pedal on the floor,
which is supposed to be 55mm or
greater. My pedal goes all the way to
the floor still (same as before I
adjusted it). There are marks in the
carpet from the pedal. I did
bleed the system when I replaced the
clutch, as well as replacing the
stock bleeder screw with a speed bleeder,
and I'm wondering why my pedal
doesn't meet the minumum height when
depressed. Is there supposed to be
a stopper on the floor (maybe the
previous owner lost it when a stereo
was getting installed or whatever) or
does this indicate some type of
problem with the master cylinder or slave
cylinder?

Subject: Team3S:
Ground Control springs installed!
Hi Everyone,
I installed my
Ground Control springs today. I ordered them before any mention
of a group
purchase. :( I ordered 550s front and 400s rear because that is
roughly a
58/42 ratio like the stock ratio. My initial technical assessment is
WOW! The
car feels totally neutral and I don't even have them properly
adjusted yet. I
plan to find a shop nearby that has a set of wheel scales so I
can adjust the
weight bias. Then a four wheel alignment will be in order. I
also ordered a
pair of adjustable camber/caster plates although I didn't
install them. I'm
going to wait and see if the car can be properly aligned
without them. If it
can I'll see if any of you would like to take them off my
hands.
The
car is definitely stiffer than it was before but not as stiff as I
expected
it to be. The springs are a little bit "clanky" from bouncing up and
down on
the lower adjuster. I used mechanics wire to secure the top spring
perch to
the spring. I would think that if this could be done to the bottom
adjuster
as well most of the clankiness (is that a word?) would go away.
That
shouldn't interfere with the adjustment process.
Thanks for all
of your input when I was trying to make the right decision. At
this point I'm
very happy with the one that everyone helped me make.
Mark

Dave:
The 55mm that
they are referring to is not where the clutch pedal should
stop when you push
it, but rather the point where the clutch should
start to disengage. My pedal
does, and always has, gone to the floor.
I wrote up a bunch of stuff last
year regarding this problem. The
adjustment cured my thud (but I didn't
bleed the system). Is your thud
any better now?? How much did you give
yourself for the black damping
material under the carpet??

I still seem to get an occassional thud
whenever I change directions (i.e. let out
clutch in R from 1 or 1 from
R). It does seem better though. I think I allowed about
5mm
for the padding. I really couldn't take the pedal up much higher, if at
all. I
may take it back down just a hair (maybe I corrected too much
for the padding)...

Team3S: ECS failure
Recently the ECS on my car started to play up in that
"sport/tour" mode
started to flash & the car would revert to a stiff
suspension setting.
The battery was a bit old (actually very old) so I
replaced it with a
high power Bosch battery & this seemed to fix the
problem.
I went away over the weekend & left the alarm on & when I
went to drive
the car this morning the ECS indicator started to flash.
Is
this a common thing?
The alarm being left for a few days would drain the
battery a bit, but I
wouldn't have thought that much that the ECS would start
to fail.
Does the ECS draw a huge amount of power?
Does the 3KGT require a
super powerful battery?
Any other remedies?

The ECU
"sees" an non-present solenoid and MAY set a code, not 100% sure. I left
it
connected, capped off the inlet port, removed it from the bracket and tied
it
somewhere where it is out of my sight :)

The temperature in the intake
path is the same so it doesn't care where the temp
sensor is installed to. It
is NOT installed like HKS says in the copy I have and
I wonder where the
clutch booster line is attached to now ? Bobs aim was to
reduce any
unnecessary hoses and Ts. The best is to tap into the intake plenum
and not
to T any hoses. Especially the fuel pressure hose should have its own
line to
the FPR solenoid. The VPC paper speaks of splicing into the same line
with
the BOV/BPV but I wouldn't do this as explained. It works for sure but
is
just not the best that can be done.

Well, are you sure you speaking of the BOV here ? I ask
because a BOV has no
sensor nor controller but a larger in- and output and a
vacuum hose connection
for the reference.
> There are two vacuum
ports, one is open to atmosphere (located on

Umpf, never seen a BOV with two ports but it sounds to me like this
is one of
the Racing BOVs. Is the stock bypass valve still attached
?

If the devices attached
to this lines do not really need fast reaction then it's
ok. Just make sure
the fuel pressure line has it's own hose.

INMO, this is a vacuum/boost reservoir that allows to
increase fuel pressure as
well as the FPR can act quicker due to the pressure
already there.

If it is a reservoir then the lenght
shouldn't be a problem.

Isn't this a boost sensor device ? These things also
provide to measure some
pressure difference using two ports and one for
reference. If two are capped
off, the reference and difference is measured
against ambient. Just an idea and
I'm not really use. You definitely have to
find out where the canisters are
attached to electrically.

Me too :) Let us know if you found out more.
Try to create a drawing like the
one in the VPC paper (but with electrical
connections too). This then will help
you a lot when searching for problems
or for fine tuning.

Re: Team3S: Rear Wheel Bearings.... help. Wayne can I have your
number?
Kevin,
The rear bearings are not quite as easy to do as the
fronts. First you must
remove the CV Axles (take off the four bolts/nuts and
move the axle out of
the way. No need to remove it from the differential)
Then you will need to
remove the caliper, rotor, and ABS sensor. Next you
remove the LARGE nut on
the backside which the axle was covering up and
remove that flange. At this
point you can pull the shaft and bearings out
from the wheel side of the
hub (you may need an axle puller). Once you have
all this stuff removed,
you will need a press to get the outer bearing off
the shaft. The inner
bearing will be inside the hub. Install everything in
reverse order. That
large nut needs to be torqued down really good, somewhere
in the neiborhood
of 200ft-lbs.
Keep in mind i'm going off memory, so
this is not 100% accurate, but it
will give you a general idea of whats
involved......Good luck....

Team3S: Couple of questions (ECS and a shifting issue...)
I noticed one
day that while in "Tour" mode on the ECS, only my left
exhaust was expelling
any air (as you look at the back of the car...). I
worried about this a
little while I was driving the rest of the way to
rochester, ny from
albany. Then I thought perhaps when I put the ECS on
"Sport" mode, it
would use both exhausts. Lo and behold, when in "Sport"
mode, hot air
was coming out of both exhausts, though less so from the
right one. So
my question is: is this the proper behavior for my '93
3000gt VR-4? If
not, what might be the reason?
Secondly, I've noticed that when I shift
from say 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 there
is kind of a "click"? I don't know what else

RE: Team3S: Couple of questions (ECS and a shifting

Andy...
The right hand side exhaust outlet is really
cosmetic (vs functional) as the
exhaust will always take the path of least
resistance (the left hand, direct
route). That's why GReddy produces a
straight 3" catback pipe, it's direct
and weighs less (but looks
"unbalanced").
The "click", as you've described it, is normal. We have a
"notchy" shifter,
although I would call it more of a "clunk". Nature of the
beast. Watch out
for a "grind".
Looking
forward...Chris

Team3S: Couple of questions (ECS and a shifting issue...)
I noticed
one day that while in "Tour" mode on the ECS, only my left
exhaust was
expelling any air (as you look at the back of the car...). I
worried about
this a little while I was driving the rest of the way to
rochester, ny from
albany. Then I thought perhaps when I put the ECS on
"Sport" mode, it
would use both exhausts. Lo and behold, when in "Sport"
mode, hot air
was coming out of both exhausts, though less so from the
right one. So
my question is: is this the proper behavior for my '93
3000gt VR-4? If
not, what might be the reason?
Secondly, I've noticed that when I shift
from say 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 there
is kind of a "click"? I don't know what else
to call it, though it's more
substantial than that. The reason I ask
is: could this be a synchro
thing? I've read the list for a while, and know

Hi all,
I recall that Magnecor
wires are the ones preferred by most of us on

series called KV85 (from magnecor) for our cars? And
also, is there a
way to get already pre-gapped (.033) NGK plugs straight from

=========================================================
Yes the
8.5mm wires are more then sufficient for our cars --- the 10mm are
overkill,
they wont fit in the stock wire looms, they cost more, and they provide
no
additional benefit [ maybe they look cool - size does count ].
The plugs come
pre gapped at about .045, but are easily regapped using a plug
gapping tool [
it grabs the ground electrode and allows you to bend it carefully],
as
mentioned in a previous post, don't tap the electrode to adjust.
Even though
plugs are pregapped they should be checked anyway.

Tap into the the
TPS signal and use a comparator circuit with a power step to
activate the
ESC. The voltage reference should be around 5 volts.

This answer should be
given by the manufacturer as this pressure pushes the
propeller the opposite
side. 1-3psi is not a lot but the bearing (if any) of the
e-motor can be the
weakest thing in the path.
Good luck,

Never heard of pregapped plugs for our need. HKS does them
pregap but it depends
on how much do you want to
pay.

The TPS is variable voltage. the switch that comes with the
system is either
'on' or 'off.' with the right wiring and relays, i'm sure it
could be set
up. You can get an RPM activated switch from places like JEGs,
they go for
about $50 .BOV is used to protect turbos from compressor surge.
in a 1 PSI
system with no turbo, and the fan shutting off at anything but
WOT, i don't
think a BOV is useful or would even work.

=================================================================
I
doubt that a Buick spark plug wire could be used, as the connector on the
spark plug end is rather complex and to my knowledge there is no
standard.
Also changing the rear three plug wires is a PITA and you sure
wouldn't want
to do it more than once.
As to CN wires I have no idea.
The web site is magnecore.com you could find out
from
there.
Good luck Jim berry

Either way the intake air flows through the
MAS. Shouldn't make a
difference either way from an air metering
perspective.

Nonono, physics are physics and can't be
tweaked ! Air flow is air flow and
there is no difference in sucking air
after the MAS or blowing air before the
MAS. It's that simple :))
If
the thing goes before the MAS ... where the heck should then a filter
be
installed ????

IMO that's a bit

for just about that (will have to add a shipping charge to that) from Kormex or
MD Auto THAT DOESN'T HAVE 41,000 MILES ON IT. It's your money though.

Yeah, one from MD Auto or Kormex might have more miles
on it. At least on
the parts they decide don't require replacement,
which is likely most of the
transmission.

On the rebuilts, all parts should be within
spec. New bearings and
seals at a minimum. Most likely shafts and
sleeves too. Plus you get a
12 month unlimited milage warranty (at
least from MD). A 41,000 mile
tranny & transfer case with no
warranty seems very risky to me. Who
knows how it was driven!?
