than 1 WEEK to go for the W3SI Gathering!!
Hi all,
Just a quick
note to remind everyone in the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
and Illinois area
that there is less than 1 WEEK to go before the first
W3SI
gathering in
Southwest Wisconsin! We've got a good mix of Stealths
and
3000GTs
signed up but the more the merrier! Check out the URL if
you're
interested in more information or would like to sign up. Hope to
see
you there!

Re: Team3S: Re: intercooler upgrade
Hi Rich,
Hard IC performance
numbers have generally been hard to come by. The
url below is a nice intro to
heat exchanger theory and ICs.
http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/intercooler.html
.
In general, if you double the heat transfer area, you double the
amount
of heat transfer. This does not mean double the performance.
To actually
measure performance we can start with pressure and
temperature measurements
on each side of the IC. I have not done this
yet but it is on my list for
winter projects (I put the car into
"insurance storage" for 6
months).
Alamo Motorsports's product at
http://www.alamomotorsports.com/ams_ic_3kgt01.html
(this is the
driver's side IC) looks very similar to the GT-Alley ICs I have
(pics
at http://www.3si.org/member-home/jlucius/2-ic.htm
). I have no
complaints but no hard numbers either. I also cannot compare to
the
my stock system as I only had the car 2 months before the
engine
rebuild. The ICs went on during the rebuild. The oil cooler must
be
moved and is easily placed in the front of the radiator
without
modifying the oil hoses (pictures and instructions forthcoming
this
winter).
I don't see how a larger IC could be placed on the
sides. These ICs
are about twice the size of stock . As it is, the bottom
plastic
covers cannot be re-installed and the driver's side IC pushes down
on
the front "lip" under under the bumper (look carefully at my
car
pctures.
AMS claims each IC has about 19 square inches of internal
heat
transfer area. A person would have to go to a front mount for
more
heat transfer area. Does anyone know if the front mount IC has
38
square inches or more of internal heat transfer area?

Hi Guys,
I am researching optimal intercooler
upgrades. I want to avoid a
front
mount unit. Anyone have any experience
with the Alamo Series 2
system??
How about the HKS upgrade. I am
wondering how much more efficient the
Alamo system is relative to the
increased cost (about $600+). Anyone
with experience and wisdom to share here
would be appreciated.

Check Engine Light is ON
Hello Everybody,
It seems like in the
past few days I have been writing you lots of emails.
One more problem
came up, this time with my brother's 94 TT (stock). His
engine light
came on last night. We were driving very nicely back home
from a
getaway weekend. We were still 150 miles away when this happened,
so we
just kept driving home after I looked at his oil and looked in the
owner's
manual what the light means. We stopped at the first gas station
and
put some fuel cleaner treatment in the gastank because it said in the
book
that this is an exhaust related malfunction. Can anyone
please
elaborate on what's wrong.
Thanks everybody.

If the car still runs like normal.
i think the most common reason this
happens is that an Oxygen sensor has gone
bad. You can check this by having
the car running, and testing the
voltage output to the ECU from the 02
sensor. (you'll have to look up
the pins in the service manual) Actually,
I believe the procedure for
checking the o2 sensor is in there also.
Start there, then of course,
come back if the o2 sensor(s) are good...

I used to have Michelin MXX3's
which were obviously better, but also cost 3
times as much. If you're
willing to sacrifice a little bit of cornering on
the street, the Kumhos are
absolutely worth it. They're probably upper
middle of the pack in
performance (still better than ANY all-season), but
they're DEFINITELY the
cheapest.

I've been running Kumho 275/40/17
on stock rims on my '91 VR4 for 4 weeks now.
They are a tighter fit than my
Firestone SZ50's were, so I don't think they
would fit unless you had
lowering springs and adjusted the camber to neutral,
i.e. lots of negative
camber would rub with stock wheels.
My first reaction with these tires
was, "you get what you pay for". I was not
happy. They howled
alot around corners that the Firestones were completely
silent. It
seemed to be alot easier to spin them during hard launches too.
That was the
first few days. However since then, I've been happier. They
don't
howl as much and have seemed to become more "grippy", although I really
haven't
done a lot of agressive driving on them. I can give a better
opinion after I
visit the track at the end of the month.

Subject: Team3S: My car
won't start :-(
Hi everyone, i posted a message over the weekend,
but i didn't guess many responces, i guess because nobody wants to write
on weekends with all the games and races going on. But anyway, i took the
stereo out of my car, and when i put the stereo back in the car wouldn't
start. I checked all the fuses, and they seem to be okay, the gas pump
relay seems to be okay also, i can hear it click. It sounds to me like the
engine is not getting any gas. Any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanx. Chris.

Team3S: 3000GT/Stealth Gathering in San Diego
Hi 3SI folks,
I'm
trying to find out if there is any interest in having a gathering in
San
Diego on Oct. 20-23. If so, let me know and I'll start putting one
together
(I'll need a little help though :)). However, I'm just
too busy and too lazy
to make arrangements if there is little or no
interest.
Here is some information and ideas I've been kicking
around...
San Diego typically has very good weather in October. It
can be cool, but
normally it is warm enough to visit the beach to enjoy the
sun and swim/surf.
It is a great month to be here.
I selected this
weekend because the Chrysler Classic Speed Fest will be held
then. This
is a vintage auto racing event held on Coronado Island's naval base
on the
tarmac. This is a great event for the car and racing enthusiast.
Last
year I saw more original Cobras this one day than in my whole life, as
well as
McLarens, Lolas, Lotus', Jaguars, Corvettes, Mustangs, antique
racers, etc. (not
many Japanese vintage racers though). The pits are
open so you can peruse and
talk with the drivers and mechanics. Another
thing is that a bunch of car clubs
get special parking privileges right
behind the main grandstand. I thought this
would be a great "car show"
for us to participate in. Clubs included
Lambourghinnis, Ferraris,
Porsches, Panteras, Miatas, RX7s, kit Cobras,
Prowlers, etc. It would
be great to get a dozen or so 3000GTs and Stealths
there! Race
admission is $10 buying tickets in advance.
Other things we could
do would be to have a cruise/tour around the county. We
could drive
along the coast, cruise inland for some fun, twisty roads, break for
lunch,
return to the coast by early afternoon. Then we could BBQ at the
beach,
or visit Carlsbad raceway for some drags ($10 to race or
spectate). Also there
is electric go-kart racing that is fairly
inexpensive (~$25 for 3, 10 minute
races). Evenings there are great
restaurants, bars, dance clubs, laser shows at
the Space Museum, street
racing for you bravehearts. It would be a fun, but
very full weekend
even starting on Friday night!
Once again, please let me know if you are
interested. Also let me know which
events are of interest and which
ones aren't. I could really use the help of
one of you younger San
Diegans (Courtney, Charlie, ;)) to help with the
nightlife events and maybe a
web page. Also, AJ and Quincy, if you could pass
this along to the W3SA
and recent west coast gatherings folks, I'd appreciate
it.
Sorry to
you folks getting multiple copies of this ;).
Let me hear from
you...

Chris,
Did you unplug anything besides the
stereo? Sometimes there are
temperature sensors, etc. under the dash
that are tied to the
ignition. I don't have a wiring diagram available
here at work to
look it up, but that would be my guess. The first thing
I would look
for is any loose (or incorrectly connected) connector near the
stereo
wiring.
My wife's Honda wouldn't start last month after sitting
out in the
hot sun all day. If she sat there with the door open for
awhile, it
would eventually start. It turns out that there is a
temperature
sensor under the dash that became too sensitive. Her car
would start
fine in the mornings or after dark, but not in the afternoon
sun.
There may be a similar sensor on our cars and unplugging it may
cause
a similar problem, except that getting it cool again won't
help.
It's always been my experience that if something is mostly
working,
but I "fix" part of it, and then a different part quits working,
it
was something I inadvertently did during my fix. Try to
remember
everything you unplugged or disconnected during your installation
--
even a ground wire.
Good
luck!
David

Damn - that's some inflation!!
The remote that I bought

Chris:
Is the
engine turning over?
Could be a dead/low battery -- powers some things, might
even turn the
engine over, but not enough juice to spark the fuel.
My
new stereo kept switching off and on when the battery got low.
It
wouldn't start, either, until I jumped it.
Is your car a manual or
automatic? Could also be a safety switch in the
clutch pedal (not fully
depressed) or gear selector (not in park or
neutral).

Team3S: Engine stalling
I've got what I hope is a simple problem with the
car stalling when making a
left turn. It started happening just after
the tranny was replaced and I'm
hoping it's just a loose connection.
Can anyone point me in some areas to
check?
