Tuning a Blitz DSBC
Cathi,
I don't know if you have a datalogger
for oyur car because thsi would be the
a great tunign tool to get the most
out of your car :)
As you are familiar with the DSBC, I'd suggest you to
increase the limiter
as well to chaneg the limiting ratio as described on my
page. Then increase
Gain to see if accelleration is positively affected.
Usually, the smaller
the turbos the lower the Gain. For the 9b I'd suggest 15
or max 18, this
varies from car to car as well as on what elevation you live.
Adjust RATIO
accordingly and always watch the boost above 4000rpm and check
it out when
it falls off. With a highrr ratio, boost stays longer while a
higher Gain
offers more overshoot after shifting. The later is not what we
want when you
shift at extreme high rpm. Overboost around 3000-4000 is not a
big deal as
there is enough fuel available.
BTW, the DSBC shows boost
in kg/cm2 (1 kg/cm2 = 14.223 psi).
I'd set the limiter to 1.05 kg/cm2 with
G16 and R40 for the first setting.
Increase R by 2 for the other 3 setting
and check the max boost you will get
with this. Always look at the gauge at
around 5000 and check the boost. It
is normal that it will fall off but try
to find the right settings to have
no more overboost than 1.06 kg/cm2 but a
steady boost of 1.0. This can be
achieved by having a low Ratio limiter
setting of 2 or 4.
Hope this gives a little insight in getting the most
out of the DSBC

If its the HKS
"Sport Turbo" upgrade, then they are 13G's. Not a lot of
bang for the
big bucks that HKS sells them for (around $2700 - OUCH!).

Subject: RE: Team3S: Coolant light on, overflow tank at correct
level, any ideas?
The coolant level sensor is in the bottom of the
overflow reservior. It is
a float switch, and it occassionally gets
clogged up with the brown sludge
that your antifreeze turns into after
repeated regurgitations into the
overflow tank. Remove the overflow
reservoir from the car, dump it, and
wishy-washy, wish washy. It takes
a lot of sloshing and rinsing to get it
working again.
Aftermarket
thermostats work just as good as the dealer's.

Lash adjuster redux
I have the typical tickering problem with the lash
adjusters in my 91.
Since an oil change didn't immediately fix the problem I
decided to pop open
the valve covers and have a closer look. I need a
little help on a couple
of things. First, what is the right way to get
the lash adjusters out? I
got 8 of 12 out of one head by prying the
rockers to one side. 4 out of 12
will not clear the cams. How do
I rotate the camshafts to get these
adjusters out? I tried a 17mm
socket but didn't have enough torque to move
it. Is there a better
way?
I tried to compress the lash adjusters to see if they are bad but I
can't
budge em. What is the right way to test the adjusters? When
reinstalling
the valve cover do I need a new rubber gasket? Any
precautions I should
take?
TIA

How about turning the crank to rotate the
timing belt, and thus, all the
cams? I do that frequently on my
DSM... All we do on those is put a 1/2"
ratchet in the crank nut and
turn it. Haven't looked at the 3/s cars yet to
see if they have the
same ability...

Mitchell Estimating Guide now available
Hello all,
I have made
available pages from the latest Mitchell Collision
Estimating Guide for the
3000GT 1991-1999.
http://www.geocities.com/lutransys/blucius/b-2-mitchell.htmThis guide has exploded diagrams, part numbers, and suggested
retail
prices for many parts for our cars. Parts such as internal
engine
parts are not listed. It is not a substitute for CAPS. But it
does
include prices - CAPS does not. These prices match exactly what
I
have seen in recent invoices.
Thanks go to Dave Best for making
these pages available.

Carbotech Engineering and Stealth/3000GT Pricing
Dear Stealth/3000GT
Community:
I received a request last week from a Stealth/3000GT community
member
for pricing on custom pads from Carbotech Engineering for the
1991-94
Stealth R/T Twin Turbo. I want to share this information with
the rest
of the Stealth/3000GT community.
As a result of the good
working relationship I currently have with Dr.
Charles Willis, I will be
offering a 10% discount to Stealth/3000GT
community members for purchases of
2 to 4 axle sets (e.g. one set of
front pads and one set of rear pads counts
as 2 axle sets). If you
purchase 5 or greater axle sets, I will give
you a 15% discount.
Additionally, if you would like to organize a "group
buy" of 10 or
greater axle sets, I can work in a 20% discount. In
either case, just
be sure to mention that you are from the online
Stealth/3000GT
community, and aks for Andie
Lin.
