Does anybody know where to get A-pillar gauge

Team3S: Max bar/psi on 15Gs
Folks...
While having my 15Gs rebuilt
by TEC, the technician informed me that, even
though the 15Gs will maintain
boost at higher RPMs, they are NOT designed to
stand up under higher boost.
He claimed that 1.0 bar/15 psi is all they
should be pushed to without
creating premature wear. Has anyone else had
experience with this? How long
have your upgraded turbos lasted if you've
been running 1.5 bar/22
psi?
I think this is an issue of interest to the entire list. So
remember, use
the "reply to all" icon to respond to the list, the "reply"
icon if you want
your response to be sent to me
alone.
Thanks.
Looking forward...Chris

Team3S: I need new Chrome Wheels what kind should I get???
Hey guys/
gals,
I have a 91 3000 VR4 and my EX hit a curb and damaged both left
side
wheels. She took about a 1 1/2 inch length of the lip off my
rims.
Therefore ,I am looking to get 4 new rims. This time I want to
get some
chrome wheels. As I am sure everyone knows, it is difficult
find wheels
that will fit the VR4 with it's big calipers. So I am
hoping that
everyone that has some after market wheels that are chrome can
tell me
where to look. After I get the wheels I will not have any need
for my
left side wheels if anyone needs a set of two.
David
now
you understand why she is my EX..

Team3S: Ground Control Update
Hello all,
DISCLAIMER: I know
this does not pertain to everyone here, but if someone
has a list of all
those involved in the GC group purchase, please send it
this way.
Otherwise, I do not have any other way to inform the other GC
GP members of
what is going on. :)
I have just contacted Ground Control about our Group
Purchase, and where
we stand with it. Apparently, they *still* have not
shipped our orders
out yet, and have just informed me that they *might* be
able to ship it
out by the middle of next week. (grrr!)
They are
reporting difficulty in the machine shop getting, "...a part
here, a part
there...", which is rather unfortunate.
Perhaps if we are
persistent, we can get them to speed things up for us.
BTW, their number
is (530) 677-8600.
Regards,
Dennis

I looked long and hard at the TSW Revo wheels,

listmember Arty offered to
sell his set of 18" chromes. Now I have two sets,
one for the strip, one for

You're right, though, I spent
hours going through ALL the catalogs at a
local Tire Warehouse, and surfing

Errin Humphrey also posted about
new rims on Julian's VR4, but I'm not sure

Re: Team3S: Brake service
This is cracking me up.. heck I did that on my
first brake job. I have
always used "C" clamps, they have never fail
me, plus you might have them
around your shop. You can keep the one pad still
on the caliper, then put
your C clamp to push in all the pistions. Or have
them done, it sounds
like you don't have the tools or the swavy to change the
brakes without
damanaging your calipers. That was not ment as a put down ,
but I would
hate to screw up my car if I could not complete the work without
the
proper tools. If you would like to continue to work on your car, I
would
buy the shop manuals from the dealer. If you need any special
tools the
manual will tell you what you need. the as a bonus, the
detail EVERY
STEP that you have to go through to complete ANY JOB. To get a
set of
manuals contact MitsuVR41@aol.com to see if he still has his
set , he is
selling them REAL CHEAP TOO.

Have you
looked into repairing the damaged ones. I know the place I've listed below
CAN repair them as I had dropped my right rear off a real twisty mountain road
in northern CA and put a 1" outward facing dimple of the inside of the rim -
causing it to leak. They also machine down any of the bumps and bruises
that the left side rims can take, then build them up. Depending on how
extensive the damage, its roughly $40-$100 per rim. They are good - as
they have rebuilt / repaired many other rims including spoked models of some
really old British models. You should have somebody in your area that can
probably do about the same thing.

Subject: Team3S: idle
problems
I come to the pros with a truly weird problem.
Recently I
finished changing my timing belt, water pump and springs. At
first my engine
ran great, but after a while, my idle started getting
screwy. At first I
thought it was my timing, but after checking the belt, it
was perfect. After
a week, tension was OK and all marks lined up. My problem
seems to be
intermittent. Whenever the car is moving, when I put my foot on
the clutch,
the idle drops to about 2k RPM, then drops again to around 1k
RPM, and then
revs back up to 2k RPM. This continues with perfect rythm till
the car is at
a stop. Then the car goes up to 2.5k RPMs and sits there,
idling. If i move
the car even slightly, eg I lift my foot off the brakes
when I'm on a hill,
the fluctuating idle kicks in again. This happens ONLY
when the wheels are
moving, no matter how fast or slow. This is intermittent
and the car acts
like normal sometimes. I thought it was my idle speed
control motor going
bad, but even after unplugging it, the problem remains.
Only after taping up
the holes in the throttle body leading to the motor
does the problem seem to
disappear.
Why would the problem disappear after taping those ports up?
Does this
indicate the ISC, or does it just cover up the problem? I would
think that
unplugging the ISC would stop it from fluctuating the idle if it
was the
part at fault.
What other parts control the idle in our cars other
then the ISC?
Why would this happen ONLY when moving? It doesn't happen when
stopped,
brakes or not. Could the wheel speed sensor(s) be at fault here? I
thought
they were only for ABS?
Could the TPS in any way have something to
do with this? Last time I touched
the TPS was when i changed the plugs 6
months ago.
It's this whole motion related thing that's got me
confused.
I'm on an extremely tight budget and can't go to the dealer for a
while. If
anyone can offer their thoughts on this I'd be
grateful.

score it then break it to form a unique mating surface, or sometimes they
machine to a surface

Also -- will the 6G72 shortblock fit the turbo and non turbo

Omar;
Our big time trouble shooters are
likely asleep, so I thought a couple of quick
suggestions would at least
eliminate these possibilities (if you haven't already tried
them) and leave
room for them to offer more insightful suggestions when they wake up.
1)
Check and insure the MAS is plugged in properly/not a loose connection
2)
Check your Y pipe connection
3) Disconnect your ECU and reconnect...sometimes
it helps and certainly deletes this as
a possible source of an error in the
computer. (ie disconnect battery + for 15
mins)

Did some test runs with a G-Tec, but I'm very skepticle
about the
numbers and the number weren't consistent. Besides, I'm a very
very
terrible 1/4miler (more into open track). So sorry no numbers can
be
reported.
As for daily drivability, there was little
difference before and
after installation of the unit. Although, it did stall
a couple of
times at the stop light; and a few time some stumbling when
rolling out
on 1st gear. Some more fine tunning will probably get rid of
it
(hopefully). Throttle response is great with no hesitation as I
would
expect from the 550s. Good low and mid range aceleration.
Highway
accel from 5th gear is good w/o any stumbles.
I can now
safely (i hope) boost to 1.15 bar and hold it til redline
w/o any problem of
hesitation and leaning out compare to before. No
more 1st gear stumbles
during hard accel at high boost either. The car
does feel alot
faster.
Only hard evidence of improvement was midnight test runs
with 2 stock
M3s. We did some rolling start runs from 40mph to about 120mph
on an
open stretch back road about 3/4 mile long. Although both '98 M3s
were
stock, one was about 1 car length faster than the other
one
(40-120mph). The slower one has 18in wheels and a boom box in
trunk,
would that make such big difference? I have ran with the faster
M3
before, I was suprisingly only 1 1/2 to 2 car length faster
(40-120).
This was at 1 bar of boost. Tonite, dialing the DSBC @ 1.1 bar: by
the
end of 2nd gear, he was still at my rear 1/4 panel. As i shifted
into
3rd, my car just left him behind. By the end of 3rd gear (around
120),
I was 3-4 car length ahead! YEAH! We did a few more runs and
the
results were the same. I love the 3rd in our cars, pulls strong
and
lasts long!
Conclusion: Very good daily driving capabilty,
some more fine tuning
of idling still needed. Significant amt of HP is felt
and seen. No more
fear of leaning out in high boost situations. Although some
had said
this unit is over-priced, but comparing to the VPC and extra costs
of
dual power flow and GCC, I believe its still a lot cheaper. I
also
saved money from installation. I have no experience with a VPC so
I
can't give any comparison.
Happy
motoring!

Thanks Matt for the remainder on the EFI PMS. I never
contacted them to
ask for a 3S version of it but it's maybe worth asking
them. I never did
due to the price but if the system can be adapted to the
3S as well and
there is a more mass to sell the price may drop
:)
Thanks,
Roger

Oil pressure and synthetics
I have recently switched to Castrol Sntec in

Is it the oil or have I got injector

idle problems
Usually, when the car sits and idles we see 800-850rpm and
there is not
a lot that consumes power. If you now turn the sterring wheel
or the car
starts to move the idle jumps up to around 1000-1500 and comes
back
slowly. This is controlled by the ECU and the current levels can be
read
out by the MITSU scan tool. With A/C on, this is highly increased and I
saw around 2000 rpm last summer with the car slightly moving. The input
for this is indeed the motion sensor.
IMHO it has nothing to do with
the TPS but it's maybe worth checking the
voltage anyways.
Try to do
the test with the steering wheel and with A/C on and off and
let us
know.
As I read there is no hesitation when driving, right ? What about
power,
enough to beat a Beetle (without a Porsche Turbo engine) ?
As
Chris indicated, reset the ECU again and see if the stupid behaviour
comes
back again. The ISC can control the rpms upon different sensors.
Also temp
and barometric sensors play a ruel as the cold start idle must
be controled.
INHO, the ECU sees a car that is always in a startup
situation. Idleing of
1200 and 1500 with A/C on is absolutely normal.
Even more after the rebuild
last year I had the idle sitting at 2000
before the ECU relearned.
I
do not really know what temp sensor that looks for the cold start but
I'd
check the water temp sensor if it is porperly connected and if it is
ok. As
you changed the pump I think you removed it or al least unplugged
it. Just
an idea but maybe an inidcator that the ECU thinks the baby is
still in a
startup procedure :)
Hope this helps,
Roger

Subject: Re: Team3S:
Oil pressure and synthetics
Fred, what is the oil pressure level ?
Of
course, have you checked the oil level when car was warm ?
The oil light is
also going on when the oil-pressure switch is not
activated. Although the
oil pressure on our gauge shows a good level the
oil pressure switch may
switch off during special conditions. At first
this started when my pistons
and ring broke. Now it is activated on very
high speeds and driving a little
bit uphills.
With Castrol Synthec fill up a little over the top mark.
What is the
weight of the oil ?
Smelling fuel at the dipstick doesn't
tell good things but maybe the new
oil smells that way. Remove the the
ventilation hose from the front
valve cover during idle and check if the
stuff smells the same. Also
check if milage is dropping.
If the
crankcase ventilation still smells like gas and the mileage
drops, try to
use a can of fuel system cleaner to remove possible carbon
deposits on the
intake valves.
If all of this doesn't help ... do a compression check.
The indicies are
pointing then to broken rings :(( Hope not !
Good
luck,
Roger

Well, we know that with 1.0 bar the 15G feeds more
volumetric compressed
air that the 9B or 13G. Therefore the 1.0 bars
together with the
appropriate fuel does produce more horses than the 13G at
the same
boost. but I never heard of a 15G dying due to the fact boost was
over 1
bars !! The Supra guys are running 1.3 bars with their stock turbos
and
the smaller one is know to die if the sequential stuff isn't working
properly. But my frind is running 1.25 bars without any problems so
far.
But if TEC says not going over 1.0 bars you'll never get above
the 415hp
mark. Does this mean TEC doesn't give any warranty if you run
higher
boost ?
BTW, I asked Brian/GT-Pro about the 368S I have and he
told me that the
producer of them stand for their quality and 1.5bars
allover the place
is not a problem. If it is ... I'm getting a new
set.

Team3S: Adventures in braking
In the for what it's worth
department:
I recently installed a set of Porterfield rotors, and took
the stock rotors
up to my friendly brake shop to be turned. I had been
running Performance
Friction carbon metallic pads, and both rotors were fully
impregnated. Now
that I will be running stock pads on the street and
Porterfield R4 pads at
the track (all non carbon metallic), I had to get my
backup rotors
un-carbon-impregnated so they would work properly when needed
(once a rotor
is carbon-impregnated, a stock pad won't work anymore. The
carbon is like
glass to the pad).
Much to my amazement, neither stock
rotor showed any signs of warping. As
you may or may not recall, I have
broken two PowerSlot rotors at open track
events, and both times I replaced
them with the rightside front rotor.
Therefore, that right front rotor has
been through two complete open track
events, plus street miles, and still
shows no signs of warping.
To all those folks who are warping their
stock rotors...man, I dunno what
to tell you. It's hard to abuse rotors any
more than I do, and mine don't
warp. Maybe it's the WAY you brake that does
them in.
