Re: Team3S: Any Experience With FMICs?
I would advise against it with the
A/C intact.
As a sidenote..our project here will be using the Alamo
dual-IC and pipe
kit, and should be sufficient for the road course work we
(and yourself)
will be doing.

Parts
I am in the process of updating my current modifications. As
a result I have
a list of parts I would prefer to sell as a group.
Altered Atmosphere has
dynoed several stock TT's and VR4's some with
aftermarket intakes and cat
back systems and they have produced around 200HP
at the wheels. With these
bolt on's attached to my stock 1994 TT
engine I was able to produce 464 HP at
the wheels which is enough HP to
overwhelm most street cars including Vipers.
These parts are fine
quality and in excellent condition as they have only
been on my car for less
than 4000 miles. I will gurantee their condition and
if sold as a
group will sell for 50% of what I paid. I am asking $4100 for
the
entire group and the buyer is responsible for the freight.
Alamo
Intercoolers
15g Turbo's (Ported and Clipped)
RC 560 Fuel
Injectors
GT Pro Y Aluminum Y pipe (Never installed)
HKS Fuel
Pump
Borla Cat Back System
Greddy Profec Boost
Controler
Custom Pre-Cat Pipes ( Heat Coated and identical to the ones BE
King had made)
G-tech Device ( Base line your current set-up and use to
measure performance
gains from the bolt on's)

privately if you are interested. Regards Charles

Team3S: Coupla newbie questions
Evenin'
all,
I've been reading the archived
posts about first gen. ECUs having
leaky capacitors. Where exactly is the ECU
located?
Also , are there any magazines
which cater to 3/S cars? It looks as
though publications such as 'Sport
Compact Car' and 'Turbo & High-Tech
Performance' are geared more towards
Hondas, Acuras, and the like.
Thanks,
everybody.
Marty

Re: Team3S: Any Experience With FMICs?
Rich,
I have the Alamo ICs
installed (that Geoff is talking about) with a
GT-Alley custom 2" pipe kit.
Check out the Mods page at my web site
for links to pictures. I have not done
any temp/pressure measurements
yet to see what the performance is - it's on
my list of winter
projects. They are about twice the size of the stock ICs
and require
moving the oil cooler to in front of the radiator (FMOC?). This
is
accomplished with the stock oil lines.

Team3S: Other front/rear diffs available?
I was checking out Mitsu's
site below and noticed that final gear
reduction ratio is stated as much
higher than what is available here
on "our" AWD 6-speeds: 4.155 vs. 3.87.
Also they indicate a 5-spd MT,
that is different than ours, and a 4-spd auto
in use on "their" AWD
cars.
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/docs8/productss/gto99/spec.html
Does anybody have any info on this?
If you want to learn more
about our front and rear differentials and
the rest of our AWD system, please
check out my new web page below.
Comments and corrections are
welcome.

Hi everybody, I'm proud
to be on this list!
Jim, I was amazed when I read your post. I have a
black '95 SL with
A/T too, and I've had exactly the same problem for well
over a year now.
When I drive at around 50 mph and the A/T is in fourth gear,
and I push
the accelerator fully down, one time out of about six the same
thing
happens you describe. However, it ONLY happens when in fourth.
With
the overdrive disabled, it never ever occured (so 3-2 downshifts
are
always perfect). I had the fluid checked and even had the fourth
gear
parts replaced, but no change. The problem is more likely to
occur
after driving the car and starting again in less than an
hour.
During that drive, if it occurs once it either goes away (so no
matter
how many times I try afterwards during that ride it shifts okay),
or
stays and will do the bad downshift every time. There's no
other
pattern as to when the bad shift occurs (hot/cold weather or engine
etc.)
The MUT-II tester never shows any kind of error. My car has 33 000
miles.
I never experienced the other problem you describe. The bad thing
about
this is that it might lead to very dangerous situations on the road
when
I want to accelerate but can't. My situation is even worse because
official
Mitsu dealers don't repair A/Ts here in Europe, since the '3000GT'
means
the VR-4 in Europe, that was the only trim level they sold (or not
sold,
rather, since those who had about 60-70 thousand US dollars for a
car,
the price of the 3000GT in Europe, got a Mercedes or BMW or a used
Ferrari
instead, that's why most of the few 3000GTs you see in Europe are
private
import from the US or Japan). Besides, A/T cars are relatively rare
in the
old continent.
In any case, if you manage to find out anything or
if anyone has any ideas
please let us know! Could this be some inherent
serial error?
Thank you and best wishes to all,
Zsolt
