Noble...
A flange couldn't hurt, but may
be more trouble than it's worth. The hose
and clamps has held it for me, at
boost levels to 20psi. I check it
regularly and it hasn't budged. The
"problem" with the stock unit is that
the plastic doesn't compress
easily, hence the tendency to slip off under
pressure. It's also VERY easy to
deform the o-ring when installing the stock
y-pipe. Once the o-ring is
damaged, it's a downhill battle.
Dave made an interesting observation, it
could be that we're actually
increasing temps to the throttle body and plenum
by using aluminum. Another
situation where someone would need to perform some
objective tests to be
sure.
BTW...no cabin fever here in Oregon. We
just had two BEAUTIFUL sunny days.
Temps in the 30s, but clear sunny
skies. :-)
Looking forward...Chris

Re: Team3S: New AAM Y-Pipe
Hey Chris,
Are u saying that all one
needs is a silicone hose adapter? Even with it
clamped on,
wouldn't
it still "slip" off over time? The reason why I'm concerned
about
this is once I
drop in some 15G's, and run 16-18psi, I don't want
anymore problems. :)
Would you take the silicone
attachment one step further and somehow try to
have a
groove or bump along
the intake plenium to make sure the clamp can't come
off?
Or is this
redundant?
Thanks again,
Noble

Although I have never taken any official driving lessons, I've been
born and
raised in Edmonton, Alberta, (Canada) where there is constantly
a lot of snow
and black ice, and where the weather oftentimes can reach
- -60 Celsius with
windchill (Sorry about the Centigrade reading, I'm
Canadian). I know
I'm not the greatest car racer out there, but I too
have always prided myself
in being a great winter driver.
Unfortunately, being a young yuppie, I have
made one of the stupidest
mistakes in my life. Just this winter, I
returned home for the
holidays, (having to pay for out of town University
fees and living
expenses, I had to sell my own car), but took my mom's trusty
Volvo out
for a spin in the middle of the night. Another cocky boy
about my age
(18) in a V6 older style (I think late 80s) Chrysler Van wanted
to go
for a run with me, We were at a red light, 2 lane merging into a 1
lane
entry onto a freeway. Alas, his acceleration got the better of me
as he
pulled first into the 1 lane. But I pulled out ahead of him in
the last
stretch of the freeway, I think due mostly to his being scared to go
too
fast under winter conditions. After I won and pulled off the
freeway, I
decided to call a friend and tell him about the challenge.
This was at
2:00 am, and I had dialed the wrong number, and pressed Send
before I
realized the wrong number. Not wanting to bother anyone, I
tried to
look for the End button, and as I was doing so, I hit a red
light.
Basically, I rearended somebody, right after coming off a race on
a
freeway. I guess I'm here to vent my mistakes as well. I've
been
cocky, hearing about cell phones causing accidents, but I just had
to
learn the hard way including the loss of a lot of trust from my
mother.
=(
Anyways, I should get back to work now,
But thanks for
listening as well,
Moses

Turbo question
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more

Anyone care to take a shot at describing how the turbos used
in our cars
differ from one another and what the different designations mean.
For
example: Does TD04 define the housing and 9B define the impellers
???
What about the 13G and 15G are they larger impellers or just a
more
aggressive impeller ??? What about clipping --- I assume it
changes the
shape of the impeller but how ??? Maximum size [ flow ] in
the TD04 shell ??

Team3S: EGR pipe replacement
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message
end for more info.***
Hi All,
Is $60/$40 parts/labor fair for
replacement of my EGR pipe?
The dealer is already into the timing belt and
found a broken egr pipe.
I've not looked at it on my VR-4, but the ones I
remember from cars past
was just a bit of rubber
hose.
Thanks,
JAT

Nono, the EGR pipe is far from a rubber hose
... if the dealer is saying the
truth !
The correct EGR pipe leads
from the rear O2 sensor housing to the intake
plenum. It is slightly flexible
and msut withstand exhaust temperatures and
therefore not that cheap. But
$100 to replace it ... You should be able to
do it yourselfs as there are
only four bolts and two gaskets. You should be
able to get one at a salvage
yard for max $20 or so. I'd say that the dealer
should show you the leak or
the damaged part.
Hope this helps

Subject: Team3S: ECU
Compatability
***This is the NEW Team3S list. See message end for more
info.***
I have a question that might benefit us 94-95 Quasi OBD I /
OBD II TT
owners.
Here is the question:
Would it be possible to
swap the ECU from a 94-95 3sTT with a 93's ECU?
They both use 2 Ox.
sensors and I'm assuming everything else is the same (as
far as engine
monitoring).
Are the connectors and pins that plug into the ECU the
same?
I realize that boost is lower with the 1 gen. ECU's, however,
boost
controllers negate that.
Ok... Now you are probably asking
yourself, what is this guy trying to
accomplish? Data
Logging!
If we can swap the ECU's and change the connector to the one the
data logger
uses, us 94-95 guys will be able to monitor and data log as we
tune our
cars....
What do you think? Have I gone off the deep
end on this one?
Trent
