RE: Team3S: RPS Turbo Carbon Clutch
As irritating as it is to me to do
things "more than once" for the simple
fact due to the way I was handled as a
customer, I will be putting the new
RPS clutch in my car.
For the
money, I don't think there is a better clutch.

Ditto that. After all
the heat I endured with my posting, I'm happy to see that I am not
the only
one who will be doing things twice, and happy to be doing it. RPS has
been
stand up as far as I am concerned, and, they are
obviously motivated to be the
leading edge in clutch performance,
design, and production.

Team3S: Stillen Downpipe
Hey everyone,
I just got a Stillen
catalog yesterday. As I was thumbing threw it, I ran
across their new
downpipe for our cars. It replaces the front pre-cat,
downpipe and
main cat. This looks like a good solution for people looking
to do all
of these. The new Apex Motorsports (
http://www.apexvr4.com/vr4dawg/index.html
) sells this unit for $399. That
seems like a good price for something
like this. Just wanted to pass along
some info.
I went to the
drag strip on Sunday with my Water Injection installed. I
still
couldn't break into the 12s. My best time was 13.11 seconds and my
best speed was 105.9 mph. I think I'm losing boost through the stock
BOV.
I think it might be time to buy a 1g DSM BOV. It sure is
nice to run over
17psi on the street on pump gas though.
;)
Happy boosting,
Curt,

Hmm, but you are reading 17psi of
boost, do you ?
Also, have you already tried a smaller water nozzle ? It's
possible to
"overcool" the chamber by delivering too much water. This causes
a steal in
power as there is too much that can't be burnt. Also I'd highly
interested
in seeing some comparable temp measures like Brad and myself wrote
down.
Have you a chance to install two nozzles of half the current size to
install
them in different locations ?

Re: Team3S: Losing boost (was: Stillen Downpipe)
I've got the .25mm
nozzle in there. From all of John's testing he
determined that this
one was the best for our engine. The peak boost was
around 1.2 to 1.25
kg/cm2 But the sustained boost was more like 1.10. And
that was
with the Blitz maxed out. I think a new BOV will help. And I want
to go with the DSM 1g because I don't want my car to stumble or die during
daily driving. I've heard a lot of stories about aftermarket ones
doing
that. But I did discover my T-connector came undone that goes to
my
Autometer boost gauge. I noticed this after my third run at the
strip. And
I'm not sure if this was a problem during my testing on
Friday. I'll do
more testing tonight.
Does anyone have an
aftermarket BOV (Blitz, Apex, Greddy, HKS) that doesn't
cause odd side
effects like stumbling or the engine dying??
just
wondering,
Curt

Tranny Case
Hey Guys, I have a spare tranny, but; the case is

Need some advice from those that have

Can the case be welded? I'm not sure

Re: Team3S: Welding Tranny Case
Bob,
90% of the 3000gt trannys that
come from junkyards have been welded in that
same location. Almost all 3/s's
that have been hit in the front (including
mine) break at that mount. They
can be sucsesfully repaired if you have all
the pieces. The best way to do it
is to fasten the pieces to the mount,
then weld it back to the case, That
way, all 3 bolt holes will line up.
Also, make sure all loose pieces are out
of the tranny before running it. I
havent had any problems with mine since it
was put back together.

I had the HKS SBOV on the car. I then felt a little "nad"
feeling at low
bosot when I lift the throttle a little. I then wanted to
adjust it and
everything got worser. It's not easy to set up but if done
properly I don't
see a problem with a twin-chamber BOV.

Especially the
single-chamber ones !

I just

As said, the twin chambers do nothing bad
to the driveability. It's always a
tune-in
problem.

I try to follow threads that
involve this because my car has a weird
stumble around
2800-3100
rpm. Only in that rpm range. It isn't bad, and at WOT it
doesn't
_seem_ to
happen. I do have the Blitz BOV on, and, quite likely, this
didn't
happen until after
the install. Hard to remember actually.
I've never really read anything
definitive, but
it could have happened
before I was on the list. Is this really common?
Thanks.

1) 97.2"
2) 72.4"
3) not a clue ---
61.4" is the tread width, looks like the center line of the
wheel.
It looks about right for the width of the

measure
it.
