This made me thinking as you can only attach to the RPM OR the
INJECTOR wire at
once to the ECU. So if the IDC is attched how does the unit
know the RPM ??? I
was walking up and down the manual and often found the
note or warning about
whatever is connected. For sure, the most interesting
diaplys would be boost
against rpm and IDC against RPM. The first is no
problem but what if the sensor
line is connected to the injector wire ? The
manual says that the self learning
mode as well as gear learning is not
workign well when IDC is connected isntead
of RPM. What are your experiences
here ?
Thanks,

Team3S: stock boost solenoid question
Ok I was playing around the engine
compartment cleaning it up when I
accident hit the stock solenoid. The
one plastic piece which you would cap
when you put and aftermarket boost
controller broke off. Now I had put the
car back to stock because it is
under warranty and my mom was having some
trany probs. Anyway, with
that hose not attached and the piece broken off,
I am hitting 1.05 bars of
boost!!!!! Why would this be? The car has no
boost controller except
for the bottom connection of the stock solenoid
being broken off and the hose
not being connected. Is this bad? Could
people not need a boost
controller to get 1.05, just merely un-attach that
hose? Does anyone
have a stock one, that I replace it with, since I can't
take it into a dealer
with a broke stock solenoid. Thanks for any
info
guys.

Subject: Team3S: wheels
& Tires...
I have a base 3000GT also ('95). I went from the
stock 16" to 17" (I wanted
18", but couldn't afford them :). The basic
principal is to keep the same
overall diameter of the entire tire the
same. So if ya go to bigger rims,
then you should get lower profile
tires. The stock tires on mine were
225/55ZR15's, and I went to
245/45ZR17's (which fits on a 17 x 8 rim, but I
think you can go up to 8.5 on
the width). If you went with 18's then you'd
probably get like a 245/30
(or 35) ZR18 tire would be my guess. Go to
www.tirerack.com and they have a system where
you enter yer make and model
and year of car, and you can select rim size and
they recommend the
appropriate tire size as well. Plus, if you purchase
both the rims and the
tires from them, they will mount and balance the tires
for you (included in
the price), and they ship to yer door. So you just
have to put them on
(although I'd recommend an alignment job just to be sure
that everything is
well :). I got the Kosei SC6's from them, with
Pirelli S7000 Super Sport
series (they're classified as Ultra
High-Performance, All Season tires, have
a 320 A A treadwear rating, and
about a 40 - 45,000 mile life). I'd
recommend Pirelli's (especially
this particular tire). These are by far the
best tires I've had, and
they handle excelletly in both rain and dry weather
(being in Tulsa, we
hardly get any snow out here, so that's a consideration
depending upon yer
living area :). I'd also recommend the TireRack for the
place to shop
and purchase, some of the best prices I've seen (I got my
tires for $149 a
piece :). They also have a really kewl app on their web
site that will
show a picture of yer car, and you can place rims on the
picture to see what
it'll look like :).
Good luck with the hunt for sneakers
:).

Subject: Team3S: It
Works! (at least half of it, anyway)
Darc &
All-
I finally got my Super-AVC-R installed and working. On Darc's
recommendation, I set the A settings to 1.00 bar and 66%
boost
duty. To let it learn, I ran up to redline in second gear.
Drove a
while, and couldn't find a spot to try redlining in third. I
decided
to try redlining in second again. This time it popped and
sputtered
at about 5000 rpm. Tried it again, it popped and sputtered
again.
Let the rpm drop down to a normal 60mph/4th gear cruise, and
it was
missing. After a short time it cleared up. I suppose the
problem
was that my plugs fouled while it was missing, so I've
got to reduce my plug
gaps to .034 in. to prevent it from missing.
Right?
One problem
though: I can't get the thing to select "B," to do the
second
set-up. I thought just pressing the select button would
switch back and
forth between A and B, but mine stays in A.
Can anyone tell me what I'm
doing wrong? TIA.

ptg

Team3S: transfer case update
to anyone that has been paying attention to
my transfer case problems, the
transfer case from MD Auto showed up at the
shop last monday and was installed
in an hour or so.. (my mechanic
charged me 2 hours total for removing the
original case and the downpipe,
and reinstallation) I also located a source
for Redline fluids right
here in Boulder (Foreign Car Specialists) so I had
the shop put in MT90 in
the tranny and Shockproof Heavy in the transfer case
and
differential..
my mechanic seemed to think everything looked
fine with the rebuilt unit,
although he didn't open it up to verify the
condition of the internals..
result: *ear to ear grin*
:) it's a little more fun to drive now without
the sounds of a table
saw coming from the transfer case..
however, there is still a
slight whine and I wanted to know if I should be
concerned.. my gut
feeling is that it's within reason.. I think I remember
reading a post
that suggested a _little_ whine is normal especially in the 6
speeds..
true?
btw, if you happened to notice the special October only
discount price from
Tallahassee Mitsubishi, apparently they are doing a $100
over cost special on
all engines and transmissions!!! get'em while

Team3S: Another P.O.V. on tire choice
Hello all,
I recently put
new tires on my '91 R/T. It is a daily driver and I got
tired of having
to put on new "ZR" rated tires every year.
This time I went with a BFG
Comp T/A 245/45/17 "H" rated tire. They drive
fine and the ride is more
comfortable than the stiffer "ZR" tires. So far
they have worn very
well. For a daily driver, I thought that these tires
offered a sensible
compromise between cost and performance. Obviously, they
are inferior
to the "ZR" tires for high-performance driving. They howl with
protest
under high cornering loads, but I was pleasantly surprised with the
amount of
grip they do have. The "H" speed rating is good for sustained
speeds of
up to 130 MPH, which is far higher than anyone will ever use on
the street
(except for some residents of Montana). In terms of cost, the
"H" rated
tire was about 40% cheaper than an equivalent tire with a "Z",
"ZR", or "VR"
speed rating.
I would not recommend them if your car is a weekend toy,
but I am far
happier with these tires for everyday use than I was with any of
the "ZR"
tires that I had before.

Pressing the
A/B button once will display the boost pressure limit set
for whatever
setting you're on, pressing it again will switch to the

Mine has whined since I

Every year? How many miles were you getting out of your
ZRs? And what
were they? I have about 30k miles on my set of

starting to get caught up on all my e-mails.
For those of you who do not know, Jeff Curtis was a very energetic
supporter
of S3 cars and one of the person's instrumental in getting the
Starnet list
up and running and organizing Stealth/3000GT's over the
internet.
He was tragically killed in January of 1998 during a road
rage incident on
his way to work. His car was hit on the side, forcing
it over the
median, where it hit a Ford Explorer head on. The driver of
the
Explorer was not injured. Jeff was not in his Stealth at the time,
but
his daily driver, a Chevy Cavelier. While this all may seem a
little
weird to those of you who did not know Jeff, he was very
knowledgeable person
who was great at bringing logic and humor to the
senseless flame wars that
erupt on the Starnet list.
From Betty:
The timing of your letter was
really perfect. After months of delays,
and court hearings about every
three weeks for about a year, the trial
of the guy who caused the crash and
was charged with three counts of
reckless homicide for Jeff's death was
finally held in April. We had
been told all along by the DuPage County
State's Attorney's office that
is was very unusual for them to even file
reckless homicide charges in a
case like this where no drugs or alcohol
involved by the defendant and
that it would be a very difficult case to
win. The defendant remained
arrogant to the end never even admitting
that he hit Jeff in spite of
all the witnesses, and twice during the year
rejected plea agreements
which would have reduced charges. The
Secretary of State's office had
already permanently revoked his driver's
license in June of last year
based on the recommendation of the State's
Attorney's office after they
finally charged him with reckless
homicide. The State's Attorney's
office did an incredible job
prosecuting, and after a four day trial by
jury, the defendant was found
guilty on all three accounts of reckless
homicide on April 23.
Sentencing was set for June 4, and on that day,
much to the surprise of the
State's Attorney's office, who had told us
all along that even if they did
win this case, the defendant would never
get jail time, the judge sentenced
him to six months in jail, plus the
maximum 30 months probation, monetary
restitution to the man whose Ford
Explorer hit Jeff after he was pushed over
the median by the defendant,
and whatever other terms the probation division
deemed necessary such as
anger management counseling and community
service. He was given 10 days
to clear up his affairs and reported back
to court on June 14 and taken
to jail from there to begin serving his
sentence.
