Happy New Year to all,
Great to hear about the new list server. Thank you
all Admins for the great
work/efforts!!!!!
I agree with Roger, the pump upgrade won't do much by
itself.
But my personal recommendation to Cory is the HKS fuel pump (when
you're
finally ready for that stage of upgrade). But he will NOT
notice a
difference until he changes his injectors and gets a fuel
controller.
The "Piece" upgrade I'll recommend in my opinion
is: do the fuel controller
upgrade first (if you can, get the injectors and pump at the same
time). And
get ready for some serious PULL !!!!!!!
Then Turbos...then Intercoolers...OHH..Sorry...got carried
away........and
the saga continues....
By the way Roger, I still haven't forgotten!! Give me
a few weeks on that
GN coil pack.

Pump is a safe thing to do first.
Given that..what should he use?

Isn't there a reed switch in the instrument cluster which tells
the ECU the speed like on the DSM cars?

An add-on to Jacks listing :
Stock pump :
- - 190 ltr/hr flows
32 gal/hr @ 60psi (19 psi boost)
30 gal/hr @ 65psi (24 psi boost)
Walbro pump are also direct drop-ins :
- - 255ltr/hr normal pump flows
50 gal/hr @ 60psi (19 psi boost)
45 gal/hr @ 65psi (24 psi boost)
- - 255ltr/hr high pressure pump flows
52 gal/hr @ 60psi (19 psi boost)
50 gal/hr @ 65psi (24 psi boost)
As Jack stated the $115 Walbros are loud but in our cars this
only happens
when the pump relay is activated and the pump runs on 12 or more
Volts.
Please note the calculated value for a car running 20 psi of
boost with an
IDC of 80% for 550cc injectors results in a flow of 50 gal/hr.
This is just
the amount of fuel to produce 541 hp and a large amount of this
is then used
to cool the chamber and doesn't produce that much of power
(around 60-80hp).
> HKS 3000VR4 upgrade, about $400, 90 gal/h at ?45
psi; flows up to 160psi
> Supra TT pump, about $190, 63.4gal/h at 65psi
through the whole DSM fuel
> There are "Walbro" pumps, Paxtons, Weldons etc
if you want to adventure
into
> Stock VR4 pump did 26.4 gal/h at 65psi through the DSM fuel
system.

It has to be possible for the ECU to monitor the ECU. I was
playing with my
instrument gauge and pulled it out, it's all electronic on the
guage cluster
end.. so the speedometer you see if being told by something what
the current
speed is. It'd be my uneducated bet that something translates the
speedo
cable and feeds it to the guage cluster, which means it's
perfectly cable of
also reporting that speed back to the ECU. _However_, I have a
base model
1995 3000GT (V6 DOHC 222hp) and I've hit 140mph before with no
probs. I'm
stock except for an air filter.

I was wondering if someone might know how many 3000GT's
(especially the
VR-4's) were produced in 1995. Or, is there some way to
find this out?
Thanks,

Subject: Team3S: Need Passenger's side low beam
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
Hi, I have a 1992 Stealth RT/TT, direct import from north
America.
My passenger's side low beam decided not to work in Y2K (could it
be THE
bug)
Anyway....it would be a piece of cake to fix in the USA, but
here...the car
is an exotic,
and they do NOT carry the assembly.....gggrrrr
It seems to be a Sylvania assembly, US spec, with the 3 aiming
"nipples",
completely sealed, so I cannot swap the bulbs, and got to
completely replace
it...
Anyone got one spare for sale, or better, a Hella
"improved" replacement one
?
Best
Henri

Another one to add...
Denso fuel pump .... supposedly flows 87 GPH (I think)
and is a direct bolt in
(about a hundred bucks cheaper than the HKS pump)

Howdy...
Are we talking about a NA? Or a TT?
If it's a TT, you should have no trouble breaking 140 mph without
removing
the speed limiter.
Looking forward...Chris

How do i remove the chip or whatever it is that stops my 3000gt
at 120 mph
and won't allow it to go faster even though it has plenty of
pedal left.

Help! I have a '91 Twin Turbo Stealth with 100K miles on it and
in very good
condition. Power was great until the intake hose popped off while
hammering
it one night. It was replaced (because the gasket was damaged)
and now the
car is so slow I rather be driving a Geo! The boost will not go
higher than
50% of what it used to, and the Dealer has run EXTENSIVE tests,
and says
everything is fine....!!?? This car has been babied all its life
and regular
maintenance. It has not had a tune-up in a while, but then why
the loss of
power after the intake popping off the manifold? As a matter of
fact 2 more
shops have looked at it, and have no idea what it is. Anyone got
an idea?
This car should 'take-off' if it really had 300hp... right??

if two noises are interfering, you will get a woo-woo effect due
to a
phenomenon called wave interference
when the high points of the sound waves collide, they double the
intensity,
when a high and a low point collide, they cancel each other.
