Team3S: Cooking recipes
In fact I will take this time to submit the
non-technical request that
anyone has about cooking on/in their car.
Usually this involves warming
something on the plenum or above the turbo
manifolds.
I actually cooked chocolate chip cookies on my plenum so when
I showed up in
Kansas for our road course we had hot, fresh cookies at the
hotel.
So send them to me and I will compile and make a recipe book for
our cars.
Technically (to conform to the rules and to discourage new
people from
posting non-technical posts) this will help us see what engines
are running
hotter or if those with hood scoops have cooler temperatures
under the hood.
Very non-scientific I agree but worth a shot.
An
example recipe should include:
* Food you are cooking and any
ingredients or brand name
* Time you leave it under the
hood
* How far you drive with it there
* How
fast you drive
* Where you leave it (on the plenum, on the front
manifold, etc.)
* How you attach it (lay it there, bungee cord,
rope, etc.)
During a cold Autocross morning I warmed Pop Tarts so after
the run they
were piping hot. That is just to get some of you thinking
and cooking in
the near future and I'll post them on my webpage. Stay
tuned and get
cooking.

and the Turbo heat shields!

I still think it's the CV joint. It is sooooo common of a

Team3S: Hawk Blue Pads
Does anybody know/have experience with Hawk Blue
brake pads? Are these
street, street/race, or pure race pads?
A
friend of mine just bought a '95 VR-4. Along with a whole bunch of other
performance parts, there was a box containing 7 front axle sets of these
pads
in the trunk. The box has "Hawk - Blue - 3000GT '96+" hand
written on the
side, but no other information. The pads themselfs have
a few non-descript
numbers on them, but no manufacturer info. They
match the stock pads
perfectly, but the pad material is clearly
different.
Are these worth anything? Something in the back of my
mind tells me these
are 'race only' pads.
BTW - We're also trying
to see if anyone knows anything about this car. It's
a '95 VR-4,
it was bought at a Federal auction in Sacramento two weeks ago,
but it is
not a California car. It's got a dark blue metalic paint job with
two
large white racing stripes down the center of the car. (very similar to
the Viper GTS paint schema) The paint job is top quality, probably
cost the
owner $5K - $8K. The car has a '97 rear spoiler. It's
in fairly good
condidtion except for a tear/scratch in the right front
quarter panel. It is
stock except for a custom cat-back exhaust, and
it has been lowered about
2.5" by clipping the stock springs . It
looks like the owner was planning
some fairly major upgrades. It came
with the following parts stuffed in the
trunk and passengers seat: Stillen
DP (new), what I think are two new/rebuilt
DSM 16G turbos, 1G DSM BOV, parts
of an HKS EVC, a Profec B, new in the box,
a custom FMIC of unknown
origins, 6 cross-drilled rotors Brembo?/Stillen? (4
fronts, 2 rears),
the pads I mentioned, two new clutch plates of unknow
origins, HKS SMF
filter (new), two K&N FIPK's (used), a Mallory plug wire kit
with yellow
and red plug wire, and other odds and ends. The only thing we
know
about the owner is that the last name is probably 'Lim'. If anyone
knows who the previous owner was, please drop me a line, we'd like to get a
history of the car.
Thanks
Cyrus

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Hawk Blue Pads
Cyrus,
Not sure what the price
was but the passenger seat/trunk seems to be
close to a few grand
alone. Any need to get rid of any of those parts by
chance? As
for the Hawk Blue, ask Rich as he has run those before on the
track. I
believe the main line is "they eat rotors at street use" so use
them on an
old set and test for yourself.
After that ask Jeff Mohler (who
is away for the weekend) and Andie from
Carbotech since they probably know a
good deal about brake pads. Andie can
offer heat ranges and maybe
coefficient of friction numbers too. He is on
the list so he will see
this.
It sounds like the car was a semi-race car. Some of
those are perfect
road course mods and some are more reflective of a street
show car (rotors,
spoiler, etc.) As an owner of the same car I feel
shafted that someone
would get such a lovely car and remove the rear Active
Aero wing and put a
non-movable wing. I'll be all the rear Active Aero
motors and wiring are
still there also (meaning it is not a full-removed
mod). Who knows -- maybe
it was broken anyway.
Glad
another car is in our midst but saddened that it is missing some of
its
unique features.

Team3S: Heated Throttle Body
As I was reinstalling my throttle body
tonight, I remembered that we
have water lines running through out throttle
bodies, Evidently to warm
incoming air possibly, or to thaw out the throttle
body in cold weather.
Well, I live in one of the warmer areas of the country,
and I have heard
of ways to plug this, and was curious about what all I had
to do.
There are two water lines running from the area of the
thermostat. I am
assuming one is feed, and one is return line.
Can I purchase an adapter
and just plug these two lines together, making the
system think it is
running coolant through the throttle body, but it really
isn't? Also -
do I need to plug the lines on the throttle body? I
am assuming since
the cooling system is a closed system, that all I really
need to worry
about is attaching the feed and return lines together.
-
-Any suggestions?

RE: Team3S: stupid ? 1st Gen VR4 wheels
My 92 VR4 has the same "L" and
"R" markings on them, and of course the tire
shop tried putting them on the
wrong sides (Until I saw it and asked for
them to switch them around). After
looking closer at them it does look like
they are shaped different for left
and right side so as to pull air to the
brakes. Its just a slight fan blade
look, but at 55+ MPH the wheels are
rotating pretty fast

Re: Team3S: Heated Throttle Body
I simply conected the inlet to the
outlet with a single hose on the coolant
manifold. I've seen others do
this also. Because the throttle body
presents little restriction to the
water flow, there is no need to try and
meter (with an orifice etc) the
amount of water that goes through the tube,
hence simply connect the inlet to
the outlet.

Re: Team3S: Heated Throttle Body
As far I know the engine coolant lines
that go into the TB are to
warm a piece of wax for the FIAV (fast idle air
valve). The coolant
does not heat the air in the TB; it does not circulate
throughout the
TB. There is no performance gain that I can think of from
removing
these lines from the TB. Look at the diagram below from the STIM.

I had similar
symptoms (in my case one click per revolution when the wheel
was loaded) last
summer (80k miles) and bought a new wheel bearing ($70) and
a CV joint ($$$!)
before digging in. The wheel bearing was obviously
destroyed, so I
ended up installing the new bearing and leaving the CV joint
in the
box. Problem solved! Good luck.

Hey guys, I just got off the phone with
Stillen. I've straightened
everything out and reviewed all the
policies with my rep over at the offices.
I will be selling the
dowpipes and I will be offering low flat-rate shipping
for anyone in the
"Lower 48 States". You need to contact me to get the
pricing and
details as well as shipping outside the US since I am no longer
going to
advertise prices due to other competitors' requests. This pipe
won't
be as cheap as advertised before, but I am offering discounts to 3/S
