Team3S: More S-AVC-R Plumbing Questions
Hi Ken, Paul;
It sounds
like Paul has my model of SAVC-R, whereas you (Ken) have the new
bells
and whistles model. In the case of my edition, the solenoid has two
lines and
the sensor is separate with it's own line. I suspect the box Ken
is talking
about, combines these features in one unit. However, the plumbing
is still
all the same.
My advice: get to it Paul, we've nearly talked this to
death.

Team3S: Greddy turbo timer How do I install?
I recently purchased a
Greddy turbo timer with harness for my 92 RT TT.
How do I install it?? The

Do I take the steering column apart? The lower
portion of the dash?
Can someone give me some steps to install it?

The T needs to see
manifold pressure. Find the line from the manifold to
the FPR and use
it. If for some reason your configuration is different,
just tap into
the manifold line (there is only one of the appropriate
size -- the small one
at the rear of the manifold) and don't worry about
where it is
going.
The T should be in the line between the manifold and where else it
is going
so that the boost gauge sees pressure befre anything
else.

Team3S: The Boys Went Out to Play
Long post -- of interest to road racers
only
Yesterday (Wednesday), my son and I went to the Marshalltown,
Iowa Go-Kart
track to spend an afternoon hot lapping. A bunch of
guys (13) got
together, rented the track for $250, and lapped from 1:00
to 6:00 pm.
It's a 5/8 mile track with about 10 turns, run in 2nd gear. I
hit the rev
limiter twice per lap, so top speed on track is about 80 mph. A
fast lap is
42 sec., so we were running about a 55 mph average.
We had
a regular car show in attendance: two Ferrari 348s, Porsche twin
turbo AWD,
Porche 944 turbo, 4 BMWs, Audi, 5.0 Mustang, 300ZX twin turbo,
my son's
Fiero and my VR4.
The track had a photocell timer set up, and one of our
guys is a computer
wizard, so we had computer readouts all day of lap times.
Your humble
narrator was 3rd fastest at 42.1 in the VR4, a few tenths
behind the twin
turbo Porsche at 41.8 and one of the 348s, driven by an ex
pro racer, at 41.7.
I followed the Porsche for a few laps, and could gain
on him through the
twisty bits, but he pulled away on the straight with his
400+ hp. He could
go nearly flat through turn 1 at 80 mph, but I couldn't
quite figure out
the correct line. The inside of the turn had a curb with
rumble strips and
the outside was lined with tires a few feet away from an
embankment, which
made experimenting with lines a bit dicey. I tried every
which way to get
through that turn. My best line was to stab the brakes about
100 ft before
the turn to set the suspension, then power through in a 4-wheel
slide. Yes,
a slide: for the first time, I actually got the VR4 sideways
under power.
I'd run for 8-10 laps, until the brakes got hot (running
stock pads), then
come in to cool everything down. We had some very
experienced guys who
served as instructors, so I took two instructor sessions
and made about six
solo runs. I guess I ran 100 laps or so, and used up a
half a tank of gas.
The Yoko A032Rs stuck very well. At the very end, I
put the Michelin Pilots
back on and did 10 laps or so. Alas, they had packed
up the timer by then,
so I couldn't get a good comparison. I'd guess the
032Rs are good for about
a second a lap, maybe more. The best part is that
they stick, and don't
slide (well, except for turn 1).
Amazingly, my
stock brakes held up pretty well. I have some fairly good air
ducts rigged up
now, so that must be the reason. If I had the Porterfield
R4 race pads
installed, I may have caught both the Ferrari and the Porsche,
because the
R4s stop much better than stock pads. I'll get 'em next time.
The group
was just a bunch of guys who could take off during the week and
go play
with their fancy toys. Two or three had done some club and pro
racing,
several were ex-SCCA autocrossers, several run open track events,
and one or
two were rank novices. One guy has a Corvette restoration shop
in Dallas and
came up here just to run the track (I don't know which car he
was driving or
how he got it here). I know, it sounds like a bunch of rich
white guys going
out to play, but it wasn't like that. These guys were
fast, had well set-up
cars, and had figured out a way to have some serious
fun.
This group
gets together 2-3 times per year to rent the go-kart track or
set up their
own autocrosses on a parking lot. All are tired of paying $15
to run an SCCA
or Corvette club autocross and spending all day waiting to
get two or three
short runs on cold tires and cold brakes. Instead, for $20
each we got 100
laps without pylons. Next, they plan to rent Hawkeye
Downs, which is a
half-mile paved oval with a 1/4 mile paved oval inside.
They'll run 3/4 of a
lap on the big oval, then turn left into the inner
oval and run it backwards,
then back up onto the big oval. Should be fun,
running on an oval.
For those of you who are tired of sanctioned autocrossing, you might
try
this approach. Find a bunch of guys with fast cars, rent a local track,
and
set up your own hot lapping events.

Thanks for everyone's help with my Low

More questions :)
Is coolant sold in stores? Or
do I buy the antifreeze and mix it myself?
What brands do you guys
recommend?
Secondly, Im my car is up to 18k miles. Do you guys recommend
I change the
anti freeze? I got the car at 14k miles, and its a 97. How
difficult is it
to change the anti-freeze? Do I just dran the white container
(I'm going
to assume there is a drain plug under it). Is it easily accessible
?

This is actually in response to my

remove the timing belt or
not?

Yes, it is mandatory to remove the timing
belt. In fact, the timing belt
drives the water pump. So there
is no way around it.

Really? In DSMs the water pump is on the same belt as
the alternator, but
since you have to remove the timing belt cover anyway you
might as well
replace it. I would think the timing belt would only
drive the cams, since
water pumps can break and wobble, causing the belt to
come off, and that'd
be pretty catastrophic if the timing belt was on
there.
