If you go to any Auto Parts store you can get a pump that
will screw on top
of the gear lube container. It has a hose that you
can then put into the
fill hole and pump away.

Team3S: transfer case fluid level
John;
You got a reply to the
first part of your request ("get it an an auto parts store", etc)
but no one
bothered with the second request. Liquids are a matter of preference,
but
Redline seems to be as much preferred in this application as Mobil
1 is preferred in
the engine. Redline MT-90 is most often suggested on
this list for the tranny, and
Redline Super heavy duty for the transfer case
and rear end. Some have opted for the GM
synthetic in the tranny, or if
available, a product called BG Synchroshift. The latter
is purportedly the
best but is seldom availed. Check Porshe dealers for
it.

Team3S: Injector duty & new Apexi AVC-R
Gentlemen:
I too have
purchased and installed (thanks to the incredible help of Darc
and Barry, I
might add) the new AVC-R. It is an incredible piece of
electronics,
with a host of settings and displays. I'll try to answer a
couple of
these, but be fair warned, it's all very new to me, I'm new at
this, as I'm
used to American built V8's, many moons ago.

As stated, the unit allows you to view one or two
real time data
parameters at once. In the "two" mode, you can monitor
boost/throttle,
rpm/VDC, and vehicle speed/IDC . I have been
running with the boost and
throttle (which gives rpm) displays showing, along
with the peak hold
feature set, to monitor boost spikes as the unit is still
in the learning
mode. I've found it helpful to use the actual number
displays, versus
the analog gauge display (just easier for me to
check). The graph
display and replay feature are interesting to review
and see how the run
went in 2-D or 3-D. The unit also allows you to
toggle between monitor
and setting to, in my situation, alter the BADC.
Right now mine is in
self learn at 66% BADC, in all ranges, except 3000,
where I am
experimenting with 68% in this range. On average, I'm
sticking between
0.99 and 1.04 boost. Still much to do though,
including Gear Judge
Setting and specific Boost Control RPM Setting, which,
if I'm following
this right, allows you to set parameters specific to the
gears and alter
rpm ranges up or down (i.e., 1500-9000), and in 500
increments.

This is
interesting as SOTP setting for me was 70% BADC at 1 bar. The
unit has
learned back up close to that and with a couple of spikes, I
backed it
down. As the unit has learned, the spikes are reappearing in a
lower
BADC. I've noticed the want (need? Hehe) to move the rpm
range
down and try increase power sooner/lower and then let it taper off,
like
2500-3500 range. Once I hit 3500, most is behind me. Is this
"wrong?"
Do tell.
Thanks, and best
regards,
Scott

Subject: Team3S: Nice
to See
All,
Just wanted to say. I used to be on the
starnet/dragnet lists a couple years
ago when I had my 92 Stealth RT/TT. At
that time there seemed to be very few
3Si owners that were interested in
performance. Most questions on the list seemed
to be about stereo
modifications and other non, performance issues. Heck, I
HAD the 4th fastest
3Si recorded when I got off the list and it was only a 12.72
second 1/4
mile!
Now I find that I've been bumped well down the list of quickest
3si's and I'm
happy to see it happen. The state of performance modifications
on our cars has
evolved from DIY bleeder valves and aftermarket exhausts to
modifying the stock
fuel mix, using real boost controllers, etc.
Can't
wait to go to one of those Bay Area Gatherings (and WCG's for that
matter)
and meet up with some other people that are working on taking an
excellent sports
car to the limits.

You can select 1, 2, 3, or 4
parameters for simultaneous real-time display. The
update rate is very
fast, I'd guess at least 15-20Hz. Any combination from the
following 6
parameters can be selected in any order: boost, RPM, vehicle
speed,
throttle position (voltage), solenoid valve duty cycle, and injector
duty %. If
you display in the "analog meter" display, you can only see
a max of 2 (the
first 2) parameters at once. The digital number display
and graphs will show up
to 4 parameters simultaneously. In analog meter
& digital number mode, there is
a peak hold feature and a manual hold
feature. In the graph mode, there is a
record/replay mode. It
will record 60 seconds for 1 channel, 30 for 2, 20 for
3, and 15 seconds for
4 channels. Using the digital number with peak hold, I
discovered that
the boost only reaches a fraction of the set boost in 1st & 2nd
WOT
runs.
There is also a mode where you can display a graph with one of the
above
parameters on the Y axis against RPM on the X axis. In this mode,
you can
select 1 point, 10 point (it looks like a snake moving around the
graph), or
ghost trace where all points remain illuminated until reset. You
can also do a
manual hold, but I'm not sure if the peak hold works on this
display. It was
with this graph in ghost trace that I could determine
the RPM where my IDC
usually hit 100%.

Ahhh, there are limitations :). RPM
ranges are in increments of 500 and boost
settings are in 0.05 kg/cm^2
increments. You bring up an interesting idea
though of selecting
settings to deliver a smooth torque curve. I originally was
thinking of
peaking early then reducing to safe levels but this would result in
a more
erratic torque curve.

Subject: Team3S:
Newby/General FAQ
Ok, head honcho Bob Forrest has graciously donated some
web-space for a
Newby/General FAQ.
I've looked at the 3000gt.com
"Modifications" section and think it's
probably best to just have a single
FAQ/document page that we can point
people to and say "to answer your
question goto:
www.bobforrest.com/3sifaq.html
and search for keyword xxx".
Thus, please e-mail me all the newby
questions around that you can think of.
I'll compile a list with some answers
and send it to Mr. Forrest. Afterwards
he can throw it up somewhere and we
can all proof it and make improvements.
From now on we can cut back extra
e-mail even more so.
One thing to remember: These really should not be
overly debatable
topics/questions. Lets stick to general, agreed upon, simple
things that are
a pain to type 100x a week and clutter the list. Either way,
when there are
differing opinions, ALL of them will be in the FAQ.
Examples:
What's the general going price of a K&N
FIPK?
What's a decent website to order parts from? (will list all that
come
forward of course)
What's a 15g turbo?
What's a VPC?
How do I
unsubscribe? <g>
What's this I hear about ground control springs?
Is
Roger a ex-Mitsubishi engineer? <g>
I suppose this FAQ will quickly
get ridiculously out of hand and kill all
lists. Oh well, let us give it a
shot anyways :).
Thanks,
Gavin
