I think there is
some misunderstanding between what a blowoff valve does and
what a wastegate
does. Here's the scoop:
A wastegate is essentially a shortcut for
exhaust gasses to bypass the
exhaust-side turbine wheel in the
turbocharger. In the 3/S cars, each turbo
contains a wastegate inside
which simply allows exhaust an easier path
through the turbo by not going
through the wheel. The wastegate actuators
control the level of boost
produced by opening when they see about 6 psi of
pressure. When the
wastegates are open, there is less exhaust gas passing
through the exhaust
side turbine, which slows the compressor side turbine an
equal amount (both
wheels are connected together by a rigid shaft, locking
them together),
producing less flow and less boost.
A Blowoff Valve is a device which
allows boost to exit the intake system
when you let off the gas and have
positive pressure in the intake. This
prevents the pressure wave from
the closing throttle valve from slowing down
the turbine on the intake side,
and in extreme cases prevents the same
pressure wave from causing damage to
the turbine wheel and associated
components.
The stock valve on our
cars is often incorrectly referred to as a blowoff
valve, when it is actually
a Compressor Bypass Valve since it feeds the air
back into the intake to
prevent air metering problems. The stock valve is
non-adjustable, and
it is probably a good thing that it isn't adjustable. I
have seen a lot
of people who get the adjustable ones just crank them down
so tight that they
"flutter" when letting off the gas - which is undesirable
since it isn't
letting the boost pressure flow out smoothly which is the
entire purpose of
having a BOV. The reason it flutters is because the
pressure wave is
bouncing back and forth in the intake, opening the valve
when it hits
it. On the opposite side it is crashing into the
turbine
wheel.
So, you set your boost pressure with the wastegates by
showing them less
pressure if you are raising the boost. All boost
controllers fool the
wastegates in this fashion one way or another.

Team3S: Need Help!
Hi Guys, Help!!
I have a '96 3000GT Spyder
which I have modified with new 15G turbos, denso
720cc inj., ARC2 A/F,Apexi
BC,
HKS intercoolers, HKS exhaust, and alamo downpipe.
The car
has always been extremely dependable 'till now. Today I was taking
a
friend for a ride and was
running hard through third gear when the engine
seemed to stutter at about
5k rpms. I dropped it into
fourth and let
off the gas only to find that the engine was completely dead.
It felt as if I
was coasting while
in fourth gear and did not respond at all to throttle
position. Once I got
pulled over I tried to start it to no
avail.
The other night I was leaning out my mixture with the ARC2 as I
was getting
black smoke with my original
system and I may have gotten it
too lean. Exhaust gasses maxed out @
850c.(this has been normal for
me)
My question is this:
Is there some kind of switch in the
ecu which will cut fuel if a lean
condition is detected and if so
can
I reset it by disconnecting the battery? I am REALLY
hoping I didn't lose
a timing belt. However,
the Mitsu Service
manager said that's what it sounded like when he turned
over the
engine.
Any other ideas guys. I know if anyone can help,
you can.

The car should still start (in limp-home mode)
with intercooler hoses
disconnected. If it doesn't start at all, check
the fuses for ignition,
fuel pump, ECU, etc. The stuttering in 3rd gear
described earlier doesn't
sound particularly promising though. Check
the easily-checked stuff (fuses,
hoses, electrical connections to MAS, timing
belt (remove top inspection
cover and make sure it is at least in one piece),
etc). Since you have an
ARC2, try disconnecting the MAF sensor leads
from the ARC2 to the ECU and
reconnect the factory airflow meter and try
starting the car without the
ARC2, but ONLY if you are sure the timing belt
is okay.
If none of those suggestions pan out, perform a compression test
to see what
sort of condition the pistons and rings are in. I'm
guessing at least
something on the list above will be the culprit
though. Unfortunately, it
sounds like you coasted down with the car
in-gear and the clutch out in 4th
gear, so if the timing belt is broken there
is a high probability that
you'll need to replace a lot of valves and
potentially pistons.
Hopefully it is something simple though...

Sounds like the y-pipe connection to the TB to me.
Even if it is HKS this
doesn't mean that everything is perfect and you don't
mention if you have
stil lthe stock IC piping. No, the car will not fire up
as the MAF will not
read any air flow and the ECU then doesn't inject any
fuel when the main
pipe is off.
For the ECU it initiates fuel cut when
there is too much knock or the
caluclated value fell off the fuel map. But
this is not what you have
experienced.
To how much did you leaned it

RE: Team3S: Re: Info regarding "1995 VR-4 wastegate/blow off valv

Vineet,
Not to be mean, but the name is Darren
(and hence why the nickname
"Flash" is easier to remember). I did read
his page as it was the first
thing I printed out. He does a great job
explaining for a boost controller
or manually adjustable valve, but for stock
locations and what goes where I
needed to refer to the Manuals on CD that I
have from you. It took someone
else to tell me that the BOV is actually
called a "Turbocharger bypass
valve." This was a bit misleading but I
did manage to locate this on my car
last night.
Could someone
please tell me, from page 15-9 on the CD Manual for "Air
Cleaner" what the
heck items 19 (Purge hose connection) and 21 (Boost hose
connection) are or
where they go? Also, are items 16 (Breather hose) and 17
(Vacuum hose
connection) the parts used for the turbo bypass valve (aka BOV)
to determine
the pressure difference for operation?
In conclusion, it was
mostly a misunderstanding of what the words meant
(bypass valve instead of
BOV), etc. I am learning more and more now and I
appreciate everyone's
time. Sorry to be such a bother.

Hmmm... How about on a CA emissions '95 with 4 O2
sensors and all that
stuff? I think the only thing mine is missing is
the little thing that
plugs into the "hole" on the intake plenum - some sort
of EGR valve or
something that kinda sticks out the top near the back of the
plenum. I have
the hole (not fully machined out), but no
sensor.
I guess I should do some digging in the super-sweet 3/S Backup
Manual CD.

Actually, I think I was partially right (and
partially wrong) the car should
start, but the quality of it running will be
super-poor. When the turbos
start spinning (which they will if there's
no backpressure stopping them
from spinning) the MAF sensor will read way too
much air and the motor will
likely stop running because it is much too
rich.
It actually will start with the MAF disconnected - you can even
drive the
car - sorta. At least a '95 Spyder VR4 will. You can
probably guess how I
know, the story starts with a K&N...

The sensor that is in this "hole" (when it
is fully bored) is a MAP
(manifold absolute pressure) sensor that is only
used in late models and in
California. Therefore, one could think that the
late model ECU can read MAP
and this is true... but it is only used to
control emissons and nothing
else :(

I have a similar story that starts
with a K&N, but in my case a fuse blew a few
days after installation
(apparently because I hadn't disconnected the battery to
reset the ECU and it
saw too much air) and I was dead on the side of the road.
A simple fix, but
it cost me a tow and a $195 troubleshooting visit to the Dodge
dealer!
That's one EXPENSIVE fuse, but I'd expected worse and was happy to
shell it
out and cut my losses...

Water injection or

Team3S: Active Exhaust RT-Turbo
Hi Ian,
I've found that if you
just jack up the driver's side rear you have enough room to get your hand in
around the actuator for the exhaust. I personally had another person's help
so you don't have to go
up and down for the next step. To unstick mine I
would squirt it with WD40 (or any other
penetrating oil) and have someone
pull on the cable from the trunk, I'd then give it a push with a
screw
driver to pull the cable back. You just keep doing this back and forth with a
squirt now and
again and it will start moving quite nicely.
I have
just recently discovered that the return spring on my actuator has broken so I'm
stuck in
Sport mode. I attempted to replace the spring but it isn't strong
enough to close it. The spring
must be one of the type that is quite strong
at the first third of it's pull and weaker after it
gets longer, I replaced
it with something that's stronger the longer you pull it. Hopefully your
spring is ok.

There's a NSX site that comes out of Germany - looks like it's
heavy
with a Big Red Porsche brake upgrade from Mov'It:
http://movit.de/htm/nsxreasi.htmOne
of the links got me to a Stealth/3000GT page with a Big Red upgrade
for our
cars, too...
http://movit.de/htm/stealth.htmLots
more sites listed if you do a search on altavista.com for
"Honda
NSX"...
I still contend that the NSX design was stolen from
Dodge's original
design for the Stealth in 1984/5 or so... The NSX
picture there is a
ringer for the mid-engine, 4-banger hemi, 3S
prototype...
Best,
Forrest

RE: Team3S: Need Help!
Roger,
I have the GTPRO Y-pipe and HKS hard
pipe kit and from the top all hoses
looked to be in place.
I have yet to
look down by the intercoolers for a popped hose.
One more thing. I
added octane boost in my last fill up.(20 miles ago) to
reduce possibility
of
knock.
When I had the ARC2 installed the shop had been working on
my car for 8
weeks. As such I was getting
quite iritated and ready
to get my car back. The mechanic had installed
everything except the
ARM1
stating that I would burn up my engine if I used the thing but if I
wanted
to leave the car a couple
more days he would get to it.
Well, I just took the unit home with me to
get away from that
place
and never installed it, so to answer your question, I don't know what
the
mixture was.

Re: Team3S: Need Help!
Sounds like the y-pipe connection to the TB to
me. Even if it is HKS this
doesn't mean that everything is perfect and you
don't mention if you have
stil lthe stock IC piping. No, the car will not
fire up as the MAF will not
read any air flow and the ECU then doesn't inject
any fuel when the main
pipe is off.
For the ECU it initiates fuel cut
when there is too much knock or the
caluclated value fell off the fuel map.
But this is not what you have
experienced.
To how much did you leaned
it out ? What showed the ARM1 at WOT above 4800 ?
