Team3S: VR4 not making enough boost
I'm not sure if it's just the
humidity in Atlanta right now, but I think I'm
having problems with
developing boost. I used to keep my DSBC set around
15/70 with the
warning at .98 bar. With those settings, I could always get
it to peak
around 1.00 bar. Lately I can't get my boost over .93 with
any
settings. My first guess is a leak somewhere, but I can't find it
if so.
Am I on the right track, is there an easy way to find a leak
(pressurize the
system with the car off somehow)?

BTW, it could just be weather
related, as I haven't been driving hard or
paying attention to the boost for
a couple of months, and the humidity has
soared. since then.

Hey Michael, I can't remember but I
think we already discussed your setup
some times ago and I'm not sure if you
made any changings due to our
findings.
Anyways, a G15/R70 should
result in about 1.15kg/cm2 as the difference
between an R50 and R70 is big !
I had to increase ratio by 2 points over my
normal settings to achieve the
same results in the higher summer
temperatures. I currently run G20/R54 with
peak of 1.07 and warning at 1.04
with -3.
Some thoughts :
- - Is
the stock solenoid out of the path ?
- - Try to set my G20/R54 or someone
elses wit the 9B and compare the results.
- - Increase Gain and check if you
feel a difference
- - increase of humidity can reduce the desired result
easily by 0.5kg/cm2
- - this is why the DSBC has four settings, haha ... you
can easily get the
best settings for any ambient :)
If you have the
possibility, put a temperature wire-probe into the y-pipe
and measure the
intake air temperature. With a higher temperature the ratio
must be increased
a little to get the same results.

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Honking goose/leaky BOV
All this BPV stuff makes me thinking. The
thing is such an uncomplicated
mechanic thing, that I just can't see how it
can get defective. Of course,
over the years, the spring can get weaker (as
also the wastegate actuator
springs do !!) but this seems not to be a real
problem.
Anyway, what if the problem can simply be eliminated by removing
the stuff
and installing it again ? This is the typical dealer effect as they
taking
the stuff apart, find the stuff is in good condition, putting it
back
together and the problem was solved. And the cause for the problem was
maybe
only the BPV mounted 1 or 2 mm deeper into the intake or they cut the
vacuum
line by 5 mm as they screwed the front part when taking it
off.
I'd give this a try, removing and cleaning the stuff and putting
together
with some small changes, i.e. cutting the BPV hose a few mm (if long
enough)
as well as the vacuum lines and mounting the BPV a little deeper or
less
(depending on the original installation.
Hope this is the
cheapest fix :)

16psi.
Remember I runned boost over 19-20psi (no comment please) and
after
installing the BOV I just felt a slight better response when shifting

nothing more.

This reminds me of earlier this year, when I shared pit
space with a Eagle
Talon during the Porsche event at Heartland Park. He had
been running
strong all weekend, pulling 16 psi and running with the big dogs
but then
suddenly lost power. We looked everywhere for loose hoses,
blown pipes,
disconnected wires, and pulled the plugs looking for clues.
Nothing. The
car ran fine, it was just down on power. Fearing internal
damage, he pulled
up stakes and drove it home.
Turns out that his
waste gate had been stuck closed all these years. The
rigors of running it at
a track finally broke the crud loose inside the
waste gate and it opened for
the first time in years, dropping his boost
down to 10 psi, and cutting his
power by half. He has since readjusted his
boost controller to work with a
now-functioning waste gate and he's back in
business.

If it was a
1st gen Talon, most likely the clip that holds the actuator arm
on the
wastegate lever just came off. If the wastegate had been stuck
closed,
he would've gotten almost 24 psi of boost near 3000 RPM, enough to
destroy
the motor real quick on pump gas, not to mention it would fuel-cut
severely
in an attempt to save the motor (unless he had VPC or TMO ECU
mods).
I
don't think the positioning of the stock CBV corresponds to the
honking
noise... Seems like there are too many cars doing it, and we
can't seem to
get rid of it with the stock valve. Mine doesn't open
just with blowing air
into it, so I think the original poster's stock CBV was
likely bad, making
the problem that much worse. I've taken mine off the
car a couple times,
and replaced it with the necks of the CBV far into the
hoses, shallow into
the hoses with no effect. I'm either going to buy
the 1G DSM valve from
Buschur or else try to hook the Blitz up without the
stock valve in the loop
(just plugging the hoses leading to it).

If you choose ONLY the Blitz or any other non-sequential
BOV you'll notice
an annoying behaviour either when lifting the throttle a
little or when
cruising. With the Blitz you must have the stock BPV in place.
It will
release the low-med pressure while the BOV msut be adjusted to
release only
high pressure.
I do have the HKS SBOV and it is
sequential. Unfortunately, even the first
chamber releases too much pressure
and only the step to the second chamber
can be adjusted :( Adjustment is easy
but finding the right setting is
hard
:((

I personally do not know of anything official,
However,
have you tried to shift the burden of proof?
Have him produce a notice from
Mitsubishi stating that this is a "normal"
noise.
Furthermore,
the noise may be "normal", but that does not mean that it
should
happen. It's normal for a Ford to have the tranny hit the dumper
after
30k miles, but that doens't mean it should
happen.

Just because other VR4's do it doesn't mean it is normal. It
means there
are a bunch of crappy CBV's out there that should be
replaced. During part
throttle operation, the CBV should be tightly
closed and not be making
noises like that. The only time it should be
open at all is when there's
positive pressure before the throttle plate and
negative pressure behind the
plate (manifold side). Any behavior other
than this is sub-optimal.
Out of curiosity, what year vehicles is this
occurring on? If yours makes
(or made) the "goose" noise, e-mail me the
year of your car and I'll compile
a list and post the results so we don't
clutter up the List. Maybe we can
narrow this down some. My '94
VR4 never did it, and my friend's '91 doesn't
do it either.
If I was
talking with that service manager, I think I'd mention that a
$45,000-$65,000
technological wonder-car probably shouldn't make noises that
sound like a
goose, particularly at part throttle. Sometimes I have to
check to make
sure I didn't accidentally hit the horn button because it is
so loud in the
convertible!

Are you sure your

under light to moderate

My noise occurred between 3" vacuum and
10 psi boost with heaviest

If it is more of a groaning noise and not a "honking" noise like a
goose at
certain light throttle positions, then we are probably talking
about
different symptoms. A groaning noise would more likely be a
drivetrain
problem.
> PS What other problems could a GROANING sound
be attributed to ? ;/
Generally if it happens all the time it would be a
transfer case. If it is
in certain gears, it could be the
transaxle. Have the dealer check/change
fluids in both and see if that
helps. If either is low, that is likely (and
hopefully!) the cause and
topping them off should help.

Team3S: New problem, back suspension
Alright,
Since you guys seem
to be doing well with fixing my problems, here is
another one.
This
problem is with my back suspension. Probably a U-joint or something.
It started to develop during one of my 13 clutch dumps at the dragstrip last
month. When doing a clutch dump or going over a speed bump just
perfectly,
a loud thud can be heard in the rear end. Almost a popping
sound. I know
it has something to do with the suspension or a u-joint
or something. What
could be the problem and what should I check
out? And how do I fix it?
This problem doesn't occur very
often. And if I'd lay off dumping the
clutch, it would probably never
happen. I know its hard on the car, so
don't preach to me about
that. ;)
Thanks,

ERL Water Injection (Install update)
Hey Friends,
I had a creative
day and a great conversation with Richard from ERL who
helps me with my
technical questions. And you know, there are always a lot
:))
I have
planned to install at least the pump infront the K&N filter. Well,
the
planned space for the pump and the ERL manifold is just perfect. No
bracket
must be created and only a small aluminum plate for the manifold
will help to
hold it in place. Also the water lines will be pretty short as
either the
y-pipe is pretty close as well as the IC tubings are.
Have a look at my
temporary installation page under : (sorry, the server
sits in
Switz.)
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/3000gt/water_injection.html
The
position of the jets and the decision to take one or two jets is not
yet
fixed. It seems that the plastic y-pipe is strong enough for an M8
thread
and It's maybe worth to give it a try :)
I keep you
updated,

Team3S: Question about stock Boost Controller

Easy : The vacuum hose going down to the H-connector
from the solenoid valve
shoud be removed from the valve and capped (it is
maybe the lower one). Also
cap the now open port of the valve. That's it
:))

Team3S: Honking goose/leaky BOV
Mike;
Jim, one of our co
founder/admins had this problem awhile back. I believe it was more
annoying
than it was actually a fault/ failing BOV. He replaced his BOV with
an
aftermarket unit (I believe) just to get rid of the noise, but as with
many who have gone
this route, found little improvement in performance
(limited to 15psi) but a big
improvement in the annoyance factor. There was
some discussion about that time, that the
resonance was set up across the
mouth of a tube inside, and that some BOV's resonated and
some did not
from day one. Possibly simply altering the mouth of the tube might
change
this honking.

Aftermarket brake master cylinder
Anyone every replace their brake master
cylinder with something other than
Mitsu (or Dodge)? If so, what brand,
are you happy with it, $ ?
Problem is, Mitsu is about $350, aftermarket
$250.

Team3S: AUTOCROSS!!!!
I did a Autocross in Midland Michigan last
weekend. This stuff is
excellent!! If you think you are a great
driver go do the autocross,,, one
of these races will show you what good
drivers are all about. I was getting
beat by 1.8 and 2.5's (Honda, VW,
etc.) It appears that all the power we
have is only good for bragging
rights if we can't hook our car up to the
ground.
I was running street
Perrelli's against cars with tires designed for the
track. That excuse
a side, I was just plain out driven! I wish I could
join you for
the Florida Autocross, and I encourage anyone that wants to
learn about
real driving to give it a try. I will be at the next on in our
area...
