Re: Team3S: (OT) Racing Videos
Interesting information on WHY you dont
see a VR4 in the SCCA TransAm
series, the Speedvision Cup..etc..
The
SCCA has banned AWD Turbocharged cars..because they exhibit extreme
advantage
on a road course.
Blame it on the Audi FOUR door 5-banger single turbo
sedan from the late
80s.
*grin*
Gotta put 'BANNED IN THE
USA' on our team car.

Team3S: G-Force ecu, VPC?
Surely some of you have had this mod
done. I plan on upgrading my turbos
and fuel system and that's
it. I currently have K&N, exhaust, boost
controller. Would
the G-force give me OEM type driveability with the new
fuel upgrades? I
know that if I upgraded further that I would probably have
to get a new one,
but I'm not worried about that. I have heard some pretty
good things
about the ARC ... does anyone use the VPC & SAFC currently or
previously
with upgraded turbos, fuel system, etc and had it have good
daily
driveability in low rpms, mid, and high as well as partial throttle,
etc?
Jack T. : did you use VPC, and are you currently running
it?

engine rebuild twin turbo
Does anyone know if cleavite makes H series
bearings for our motors? Or
will stock be fine to use? My plans are to have
the crank [2 bolt]
reconditioned and nitrated, aftermarket pistons and rods
[any
suggestions ?] .Evrything will be balanced and blueprinted.For
the
cylinder heads should I use aftermarket SS valves or knew stock?
Felpro
gasket set better than mitsu stock? On another note will anyone from
the

Re: Team3S: 92 engine rebuild twin turbo
Greg,
Clevite makes the
77 bearings for the 6G72, don't know about the H
series. I have links to the
Clevite web site at my web site. Contact
then and let us know. I would
recommend NOT using the stock bearings.
Go for the harder Clevite
77s.
Be sure to have the any used crank or rods magnafluxed to check
for
defects. Of course have all bottom end components static
and
dynamically balanced. Rather try to nitride a stock,
1st-gen,
cast-iron crank just use a reconditioned one or go for a new
2nd-gen,
steel-surface-treated crank. The cranks are not the problems on
our
cars. The rod bearings are the usual items to fail first.
My
understanding is that for our 1st-gen crank the bearing width is
too
narrow for our loads. The 2nd-gen cranks have a harder surface
which
may help this situation. Otherwise, our 1st-gen crank and rods
are
stout enough for 500 HP easy.
Our heads are already pretty good
(except maybe for the lifter noise
complaints). I'm not sure SS valves would
help much, but certainly
anything that lightens the valve train is good. My
reading has
suggested lighter retainers (like titanium alloy) are one the
best
upgrades for reducing reciprocating mass. Mitsu stock head
gasket
kits are fine. Roger G. has suggested using a
smaller-than-stock
clearance for valve guides.
Good luck with your
rebuild and let us know how it turns out.

Eiback Lowering springs for sale
I bought a set of Eibach pro series
lowering springs for my 1993 3000GT NT
about a year ago. Decided it
still isnt low enough for me and I will be
purchasing an adjustable
suspension setup for it instead. I would like to
get $200 for the set
of springs. Paid $275 if I remember right. I am open
to offers
if anyone is interested.

PS How can I get my Non Turbo to go

Ive heard the new chips are producing problems a few
months after
installation. Anyone had good luck with any performance
products?
Thanks guys

Feel a popping in clutch pedal
Lately I've felt a sort of popping or
notch in the clutch pedal. i can sort
of hear it but it's not
loud. Another wierd thing is that sometimes the
engage point for the
clutch changes. For example, when I sit at a
stoplight, the engage
point is near the floor. When I gas the car such that
boost is
positive, the engage point gets further away from the floor. Also,
say
I am at a stoplight, if I pump the clutch pedal till I feel resistance a
few
times, the engage point gets further from the floor. It's strange
and
it's troubling me since I just got this bucket of bolts back
together.
Perhaps it's the clutch booster? Air in the system? I
might try bleeding
it later if I find the time. Could it be something
related to when I took
the engine and tranny out? Vacumn leak
somewhere? I really have no clue so
I thought I'd just see if anyone
else has had a similar situation.
Thanks again,
Chris

Mentioning clutches does anyone
know how hard (stiff) a VR4 should have?
I bought my 91' and it felt VERY
stiff compared to my Eclipse and
Celica. I made the dealer throw into the
deal fixing it. Well they have
replaced the booster and master cylinder and
it still feels stiff. Is
this normal? Thanks,

Yes. Your VR4 is about
1000lbs heavier than those other cars (loaded).
The stock clutch is
stiff..actually, not heavy enough.

Re: Team3S: Feel a popping in clutch pedal
sounds like your throw-out
bearing could be going if you hear a grinding
noise. If it's
squishyness (is that a word?) then air in your lines is a
good bet too.
Have you checked the fluid level? It's a small cylinder
right next to
the master cylinder (in the corner on the driver's side.
