Plug and Play ECU replacement for our cars; was Re: Need info
This is
interesting! A plug and play programmable ECU replacement for our
cars with
datalogging and everything! I could not find anything other than
a short
description of this thing. Jay, how did you find out the price, did
you call
AEM or NOPI? I think I need one right now! Have anyone considered
this
system before?

Okay, I hit a pothole that dented my chrome 18" rims :'(

The dent is about an inch deep towards the center of the wheel.

Team3S: Pothole
Hi Alex,
You may now have some wheel vibration and
possibly a rim leak if it was bad
enough. I have had this happen many
times.....living in the Chicago area!
I have had 2 rim leaks on 2 different
wheels. One of which I decided to
replace with a restored OEM 18"
chromie wheel and the other I had fixed. I
got a restored wheel from a
place called TransWheel for about $350. They
were also the ones that
straightened out my other wheels ($100 per wheel).
These were pretty cheap
prices considering that the stock 18" chromies go
for about $561 from
Tallahassee Mitsu. The restored ones are next to
impossible to tell
from brand new so why pay the extra money?
The number is
1-800-892-3733. Ask for Tom and tell him Dave Black from 3Si
sent
you. The website is

Team3S: Altered Atmosphere
Well all I can say is the before HP was 286 at
the wheel and the after was
316 HP at the wheel. The car is louder from the
high flow cat and I cant
beleive this, but my gas mileage actually went up!!
Maybe the DLI gets
better gas milage? Sounds wierd but hey, I'm not
complaining :)
NOW, for the hard questions. I have the boost set at 15.9
and locked down
with the limiter. I hit it easily. What is a max safe
setting? Playing
around one day I hit 18.6 (forgot to set the limiter) I dont
want to damage
my car, but want to get max boost out of it with the mods I
have. Safely.
Rogers boost intructions are excellent. Can I just use the same
numbers he
uses and plug em into my Blitz SBC I-D? The controller is very
confusing to
me. No instructions in english.

Recommended is no more than 50 miles
distance and stay under 45 MPH. It is
a "temporary" spare, not to be
relied on as a real tire. Just enough to get
you somewhere to get a
flat tire repaired. It also will not survive
potholes at all.

Subject: Team3S:
forged rods/stock rods
I've only seen one set of rods for our cars and it
had
what I assume is an oil squirter near the big end of the
rod ---- on
the side of the beam pointing up at an
angle towards the piston. Is the
object to cool the
piston, oil the pin or cylinder or all
three.
The Pauter replacement piston doesn't have the
same
squirter --- they can add a pin oiler which would help
the pin but
would perform little cooling.
Any comments
folks.

Mostly to cool the piston, from what I've
read. The stock pin is an
interference-fit design so it doesn't move in
the rod so no oil is required
in that joint.

If you use a floating pin then you should probably have a pin
oiler in the
rod, depending on the bushing material. If you are looking
at the Pauter
rods, then you are probably also considering the Ross
pistons... If you go
with Ross pistons and stock rods you'll need to
machine the stock rods to
accept floating pins. That's what I did on my
motor.
There are also oil sprayers pressed into the main oil journal
which spray on
the pistons. The sprayers on the rods themselves
probably aren't as big a
deal. If you are tearing down your motor,
replace the block's oil sprayers
as a precaution. It doesn't take much
grit to block those.
