Team3S: 1992 Dodge Stealth RT question
Can anyone tell me where a fuse is
located for the power door locks?
I was installing a Viper alarm(keyless
entry part) and I think I blew a
fuse. Any ideas or input is
appreciated.
Thank you.

Fluid leak near diff?
Hello all!
I noticed today there is some
fluid on the underside of my
differential... looking closer, it seems to be
coming from above. Could
this be from my AWS system? What is up
there that is likely to leak?
All help appreciated!

Re: Team3S: Fluid leak near diff?
There is a shaft that exits the diff,
that runs the pump for the rear
steering.
That could be it, or it
could be a fluid line to/from the pump.

Team3S: Power failure
Hey guys,
After my battle over my oil gauge
I now have a new
problem to conquer. About a month ago when I got my
car back from the dealer regarding the oil gauge, there
was engine noise
coming through the speakers. I took
the car home and the noise stopped
half way there. The
next day the car struggled to crank. I was
about to
take it back to the dealer when I checked the water
level in
the battery. It was low, so I added what
turned out to be a lot more
water than I thought it
would take. I started the car back up, and it
cranked
strong. I though the problem was solved.
Yesterday
around 10 p.m. I was following a friend so
she could drop her car off at a
shop quite a distance
from my house. As we were about to turn into the
shop
the engine noise came back through the speakers and the
lights
dimmed. The car recovered as I turned in to the
shop parking area, so
I went ahead and turned the car
off as she filled out her night drop paper
work. We
got into my car and I tried to crank it. A weak rrurr
was all I got. I let the key turn back and all the
lights flashed
as the alarm started going off. I
quickly hit the button to stop
it. I waited a few
seconds then tried again. This time it was
just a weak
rrurr, no flashing lights or alarm. I turned off every
thing I could think of that would be sucking power
(dome light, fan,
stereo, etc.) and tried it again.
Rrurr, rrrurrr, rrrrurrrr,
*cranked*. I was so
relieved. I sat there for a minute or two
revving up
the engine in hopes of building the battery back up. I
kept the stereo and a/c off all the way home, and did
not turn the car
off when I dropped my friend off. The
engine noise did not return to
the speakers, but the
power gauge was lower than normal.
This morning
the car cranked strong, so I am at a
loss. Does anyone have any idea
what this could be? I
wouldn't think a poorly grounded speaker wire
could
leech almost all of the power from the battery, but I
can't say
that for sure.
Also, when I turn on the turn signal at night the power
gauge goes up in down in rythm with the signal (about
1/8 inch
variance). Is this normal?
Thanks in advance for any
help.

I've got my boost

Team3S: Twin turbos for sale
All of the parts I had for sale are now gone
except for this pair of

box from Mitsubishi. If
anyone has any interest in them, please speak
now or forever hold your
peace! :)
This will be my last post on
them. If I don't get any responses they will
go out on EBAY. I
am not looking to retire off these things, I just want
to sell them for a
fair price. They were intended for my 94 R/T TT and I
think they will
fit pretty much any VR-4 or R/T tt from 91 to 97 or so. I
can even
supply a set of wastegate actuators if need be.
I have both front and

Please respond privately.

I don't think the lack of interest is
necessarily due to price, but rather
that if you are going to go through all
the work or expense of swapping
turbos, you might as well upgrade them since
the task is so difficult. Most
of the people on this list would
probably look at a failed turbo as a great
opportunity to get larger
ones... You might have better luck on eBay than
you would
here.

I used to have a very loud hiss too! In
fact I thought is was a leak in one of
the lines it was so loud. It
turned out to be the line going to my SPI boost
gauge on the A-pillar.
Origianally I had it connected to an extra hose barb I
installed on the
plenum (a la Bob Fontana). When I moved the connection to a
tee off of
the fuel pressure solenoid line, the hiss went completely away.
You folks
with the loud hiss, do you have an aftermarket gauge connected off
the
plenum?

Transfer case failure is an extremely dangerous
situation. 4-wheel lockup while
moving in traffic at freeway speeds can
cause accidents or even fatalities.
That is why Mitsu has a recall TSB on
leaky transfer cases.
If the JB Weld repair were done prior to the
engine/clutch job, a responsible,
competent shop should have detected this
and informed you that repair did not
work, that the transfer case was
leaking, and they should have suggested that
you replace the transfer case
before driving.
Do you remember if there was a leak prior to the
engine/clutch work? If so, the
JB Weld repair attempt could have been
performed by the seller. However if you
never had a leak before, it
seems very unlikely to me that the repair were done
prior, there was no leak
prior, and the leak developed within the 3 weeks after
the engine/clutch
work. Most likely, the place that did your engine/clutch
dropped your
transfer case, cracked it severely, and attempted the repair
(UNLESS you had
a leak prior).
Whoever attempted this repair put your life and the
traffic around you in great
danger. Regardless if it were the seller or
the shop, it would probably take a
lawsuit to get any remediation even though
you would win. Unless you are
ambitious and don't mind going to court
(or threatening to go to court), you
should consider yourself lucky and
replace the transfer case with an $850
rebuilt unit.

SAVC-R Question
Hello to all:
I've had this new unit for just
about a year now and while it works
really well, I have an odd thing going on
and wondered if any of you with
the this unit could help
me.
Basically, when idling, my rpm's range all over the place, from 500
to
4,800. The car's idle feels and shows about 500 on the stock
tach. I've
pulled out the wires and double checked it all, to see if
maybe I spliced
into the wrong wire and am watching an IDC measurement
calibrated wrong,
but it appears to be correct as that wire is in a different
connector.
The wire I tapped into is creme or tan in color in the middle
16p
connector (I have a '92 VR4), top left wire as the directions indicate.
The last time I unplugged it to check it again, it worked suddenly,
but
only for a short time. Regardless, in either case at WOT, it
records the
rpm correctly. The car runs great, and I'm real happy with
this unit.
But I'd like to fix this, as it is annoying and concerns me
something
else may be up. Any ideas would be most
appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Team3S: Turbo hiss?? normal?
My hiss is coming from the open
hole on the Apexi solendoid. It's supposed
to vent to atmosphere and so
it is. It's normal in my case.

Behind the radio. Take off the carpeted panel on the driver's
side and
passenger side of the center console and it is back near the
firewall. A
couple bolts hold it in on both sides.

Just as something else to think
about... I have wondered if my
ticking last year was really lash
adjuster (we don't really have lifters)
ticking or not. Mine got
progressively worse over a couple of months last
summer, eventually to the
point that I was embarrassed to drive through
quiet residential areas or any
kind of drive-thru. Needless to say, it was
LOUD. I tried a bunch
of stuff and eventually got it to go away, BUT I
don't know exactly what
fixed it, nor do I know for sure what the noise was.
I can make a rational,
logical argument that it was indeed the lash
adjusters and that some of the
things I did would have remedied the problem.
However, I can also (I think)
make a reasonable argument as to the
cause and solution that has nothing to
do with the lash-adjusters. As some
of you know, I recently discovered
a large quantity of carbon deposits in my
cylinders. I measured
compression at 240+ in all 6 cylinders, even though
the senior mechanic (who
I know is knowledgeable about 3000's and cars in
general) said that kind of
compression "is not possible" in our engines. I
don't know - I just
read the gauge and saw it progressively approach 180psi
in all 6 cylinders as
I cleaned them out. But I digress. The point is,
that if I
actually had enough carbon in on the piston tops to cause
excessive
compression, I believe it may be possible that the noise I heard
was not the
lash adjusters, but valve-piston interference. I can't prove
it, but I
think it's a possibility. I have heard NO ticking whatsoever
since I
cleaned out my cylinders, even upon startup when lash adjuster
ticking is
known to occur occasionally in normal engines.
I would think that valve
interference would be more likely to occur
in the NA cars (I assume that the
piston gets closer to the valves in the
higher-compression engines), but I
suppose it could happen in TTs as well.
A compression check on the front bank
will take you 30 minutes, and could at
least rule out interference noise, so
it might be worth your while (I'm
curious, too). Also, if anyone has a
comment about 240psi of compression
being "not possible" in the NA 10:1
engine, I'm curious about that, as well.
I'd think that with enough carbon
build-up on the pistons, any compression
value would be possible up to the
point where the pistons start hitting the
valves and bending them.

The Apexi solenoid
should not hiss if installed correctly.
Most folks install the solenoid
as described on the bottom diagram of page 40 of
the Apexi Operation and
Installation manual (this is what Matt was trying to say
:)). The
wastegate actuators should be connected to common port of the
solenoid.
The pressure source, i.e. the hose from the y-pipe, is connected to
the
normally open port. When the solenoid cycles, the wastegates either
"see"
the pressure source from the normally open port, thus actuating the
wastegates,
OR the wastegates "see" atmosphere pressure from the normally
closed port and
are not actuated thus allowing boost to build.
In your installation, you substituted the stock boost control solenoid
with the
Apexi solenoid. For this type of installation to work
correctly, you will need
to make the Apexi solenoid "look" like the stock
solenoid, i.e. you will need to
cap off the normally open port. Then
the hoses that were on the stock solenoid
should connect to the common and
normally closed ports of the Apexi solenoid.
Although no one has done an
installation like this yet, it should work fine, as
long as you cap off the
normally open port. Otherwise it will hiss since you
will essentially
have a breech in the vacuum line system.
Below is a good description by
Jeffrey Young on how the stock vacuum system
works:
<<<
Let's
see if I can describe the operation of those hoses for you. The
turbo
wastegates (the things that open to
reduce boost and close to
increase boost) run on a positive pressure. At 6.X
lbs. they open and
vent the exhaust gas
past the turbine wheel and drop the boost. The
front and back turbo castigates
are connected to 2 of the connections
at
the 4-way connector. The third connection is from the y-pipe (before
the
throttle body). This provides the positive
pressure that is used
to open the wastegates. The fourth connection goes to the
boost control
solenoid on the fire
wall. The other side of the boost control solenoid
is connected to a negative
pressure (right in front of the rear
turbo's
intake...sucking air in).
When your car want to
make boost, the control solenoid opens up and draws the
positive pressure
created by the
y-pipe connection off, keeping the wastegates closed (and
making boost). When
the ECU decides that enough boost
has been made,
it closes the control solenoid, pressure from the y-pipe
connection builds to
6.X lbs. and opens the
wastegates (releasing
boost).
>>>
Good luck,
Ken

Leaning out the fuel mixture?
My '97 3000GT Base coupe does the same
thing.
If I stomp it, there is a lot of noise, but little to no
increase
in speed. If I hit about 3/4, the car will just
take off. As long
as I ease in to WOT it will pull the
whole way, but stomping it only makes
the car noisy.
