Subject: Team3S: 94
brakes on a 92?
If I wanted to upgrade both my front and rear brakes on
my 92 Twin Turbo to
the brakes from a 94+ turbo, is it a direct replacement
or do i need to
switch some other things?
Thanks,

Good !

The fuel map
is not adjusted as the ECU stays as it is. The AFC "only"
alters the MAS
signal to the ECU and causes it to think that there is
another air flow. But
we all know that our fuel system is already mexxed out
at 1.00 bars so the
AFC can only lean it out. The result will be detonation
and knock. Therefore
one will increase the fuel delivered with the help of
the AFC (what is only
rpm related and not engine load !!!) but this results
in fuel cut as the
desired fuel value is not o nthe map anymore and the ECU
htinks that there is
something wrong. The AFC only helps if you go to the
450cc DSM
injectors.

No, it's not
necessary. Not the oil feeding lines nor the return lines must
be replaced.
It may help that you do a good engine flush as this may free up
any glogged
lines. We have only reports for users who had problems with the
oil lines
after a lot dirt or cooked oil in the lines (shutting down the
engien
immediatly after hard driving, a big nono). Finally, nothing to
worry
about.

Yes, but even then an
engine flush helps to free them up again. But the oil
lines are easy to be
changed anyways when the turbos are already off.

Have you checked for play with the inner and

RE: Team3S: 94 brakes on a 92?
With consideration of the Rotors,
calipers, dust shields, and wheels it is a
direct replacement.
You
will need to upgrade the wheels and either replace or cut the dust
shields to
make them fit your 92.

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Apexi avc-r
If its overboosting, you need to turn you duty cycle
down a bit. Your rpms
should read the same as the dash (mine do)
Unless you hooked up to the
inject wire instead of rpm wire on the ECU.
Also start the feedback on 5
across the board first. It will
overshoot mostly becuase the duty cycle is
too high in a gear. It will
make the car feel slower, but you have to do it
to protect your motor.
Then start fooling with the start duty cycle.
Especially first gear makes a
difference. Start out at 10%+ and then adjust
the duty cycle again if
it overboosts. The problem is that if you have
learn on, it will screw
with these settings after a couple days of hard
driving (but you are not
getting the right rpm signal, so its not learning).
You have to first
determine if all the wires are hooked right! I used the
manual not
their diagram, because it was not 100% right. The two gens
have
different connectors and even when using the right connector, the
points
they said to hook it to was different for my 95.
Good
Luck

I've done the rear upgrade. I just

could (to allow maximum

I've done the front upgrade, but had to take them off due to a

It's not just during driving. When I raise the
car, grab the wheel and shake
it--there is some play. That is typical
of bearing problems but I changed it
out and it is still there. I am
beginning to believe it might be the
wheel/lugs(perhaps a gap between
