Re: Team3S: Remanufactured Tranny
I have a good Satan too.
It's just
that Mitubuishi itself sets the rules under which all its
disciples must act.
And those rules suck. It is hard for me to believe that
they treat their
$48,000 car the way they do, and then expect us to buy
more of their cars.
Of course, when the EVO 6 comes out, I'll probably buy one, but not
because
of their wonderful customer relations policies. It's because they
certainly
do know how to build neat cars.

Datalogger
Hi all,
I am developing a datalogger for 94+
3/s. I am going
to start with the 95 hybrid (as that's the car I have
and that makes it easier to test) and move on to the
rest once that's
complete and I have a framework to
build on. What would be extremely
helpfull is (if
you're interested of course) for you guys to send me
functional suggestions. By that I mean what
functionality you want the
software to have - be it
graphs, virtual gauges, whatever. Also, later on I
will
be selecting a few people to be beta testers. Beta
testers will
recieve a free copy of the final release
software. If you are interested in
becoming a beta
tester, please let me know.
To not clutter
the list and not p**s of the admins,
please keep questions/comments off list
- send them to
me directly (
apedenko@attbi.com). I will send out
status updates to those interested.
Thanks,
Alex.

1995 Stealth TT gross weight
Hi everyone,
Yesterday, on my way to
Jeff W's working gathering (I will let Jeff or Joe
K cover the gathering), I
stopped by a certified CAT scale at exit 20 on
I-275. This is less than a
mile from Jeff's house. I weighed my car with
me sitting in it. That was the
scale lady's fault, but this it okay
because I weighed myself as
well.
The weight of the car with a full tank of gas and me sitting in
it
together with all my stuff was 3880 lbs. (2260 fr, 1620 rr). I weigh
178
lbs but with my winter clothing and a stuffed schoolbag I was 210 lbs as
I
weighed myself when I got home.
I will do the math for you by
substracting my own weight. Here is goes: A
stock 1995 R/T TT with a full
tank of gas and no driver/passengers weighs
3670 lbs (2155 fr, 1515
rr).
This confirms that a 1995 Stealth weighs the same as a 1996 Stealth
(if
not 1 pound less). There must be errors on both Team3S and Dave
Black's
websites that show a 95 R/T TT weight of 3792 lbs, which is much more
than
the 96 R/T TT weight and even more than a 95 VR-4, which does not
make
sense considering a smaller number of options that it has.
Now I
have the accurate numbers to use with my G-Tech and Road Dyno, which
is, BTW,
should be coming next week!

With any luck, the current owner of my
old spare DSM AWD tranny will be
getting it from his parent's place and
bringing it here for me to try
aligning onto my 6G72 block. If that
actually occurs before I drop my block
back into the car, I'll attempt to
bolt it on and report what happens.
The mountings seem very similar to
what I remember my 4G63 being like, but
I'm not willing to say that a DSM
tranny will bolt onto a 6G72 until I see
it with my own eyes (or at least a
photo of it being done).
I do agree with what Jack says about the
trannies themselves not being weak
- - but I do think the synchros could've
been better. Seems those are what
most often is complained about -
using better fluids from day 1 reduces
those problems.

here Fred,
Automatic or 5/6-speed ? If its a 5-speed do you get the jolt
when the
clutch is pushed in or in neutral? If its an automatic have you
tried first
putting it in neutral before breaking? There are a lot of things
it could be
besides the tranny (Drive line component motor mounts as Geoff
said (and he
knows a whole lot)), does it do it if you just downshift hard?

RE: Team3S: RE: Preventative Maintenance on Suspension
Well don't feel
disappointed :) .. there really isn't a whole lot of
preventative maintenance
for the suspension and steering system other that
watching for corrosion (At
least as far as I know).
You need to inspect your CV boots for wear or tears
and replace them with a
CV boot kit if you have any. When replacing make sure
you clean the joint
well and replace the grease. Check all your ball joint
connections for the
steering components, replace the and cracked or leaking
boots and regrease
if needed. As I recall the 3Si's don't have and Zerts so
you will have to
grease them before installing the new boot. If the ball
joint has excessive
wear (you can move it without great effort) then replace
it.
Check your upper and lower ball joints supporting the wheels. Lets see
for
the shocks and struts, check for fluid leakage or rust ..... I think
that's
about all there is ... might be something special that you can do for
the
rear steering, such as replacing the hydraulic fluid, has any one done
this?
My VR-4 has 140,000 miles on it, looks to be all original and
the
suspension is great except for the need for a front end alignment (And
the
want of a better set of Shocks/Struts).
I have two Jeeps a grand
Cherokee Limited (The wife's) and a Wrangler (hard
core off road) and the
Jeeps are the only things I've ever had to do any
suspension related work to.
Actually 99% to the wrangler. At 170K miles I
had to replace the CV boots on
the Cherokee. The biggest problem I have
found related to the suspension is
the environment -water, dirt, abrasion.
Although on the advise of Mr. Berry I
hope to be running the TIEN
shock/strut kit by August for the gathering ;)
(Actually that was what I was
looking at for a while)

Preventative Maintenance on Suspension
Good morning from the lurker of
the north. Due to a few small iceburgs
and potholes in the roads I find
that I need to get the front end
aligned on my car. This got me to
wondering if I shouldn't do some
preventative maintenance and replace some
parts that may be close to
being worn out. The car has 86,000 miles on
it. No major work, so
far. All of the suspension are original
parts. I would rather replace
them now than wait for them to
fail. With my luck they always fail
right when I need the car the
most. The parts I'm thinking about are
CV joints, ball joints,
bushings, etc.
Do any of you "experts" have an opinion? (boy, is
that a loaded
question on this board. ~smile~)

RE: Team3S: Tranny Alternative
Humm mine is still going 140K miles, new

cracked from the fill hole down about 3-4
inches. Any one try a TIG or MIG
on the tranny casing with any luck? The
dealership seemed to have fixed it
from leaking ... check it often .... I do
think I notice a bit of a grind
from 2nd to 3rd if I'm really trying to shift
fast but I usually give it a
little time between shifts. As far as launching
I read a post some where
when I first got the car about riding the clutch
just a little on launch, so
as not to spin the tires or put too much pressure
on the tranny..... has
worked well for me and not so well for some other hot
rods trying to waste
me off the line ;).... But 99% of the time I pretty much
try and baby the
tranny, I just love the shove ya back in the seat
acceleration and knowing I
can waste my best friends Porsche and the drop of
a hat ;)
I did check with the previous owner and the tranny has been in the
car from
at lest 40K or so when he purchased it. Do the transmissions have
labels on
them to match the rest of the hardware in the car?

I race my

But I DO NOT shift it hard or fast because I am afraid it will
break.That
might take a second or so off my lap time (hey! Maybe that's why
I'm so
slow!), but I'd rather be a tick slower than shell out $3,000 for
another
tranny.
I probably have the only VR4 on the list with a new
transmission that has
never been "launched" in a drag strip start. Well, not
on pavement anyway.
My best 0-60 (5.5) and 1/4 mile (13.5 @ 105) were done in
a misty rain,
where I could spin the tires easily. I would NEVER spin them
like that on
dry asphalt for fear of breaking it.
Even though I don't
abuse my new Getrag, I bet it still fails at 60,000
miles after installation.
Don't they all?

I think it is safe to run 10
psi on stock injectors.
You can get a AFR meter from Split Second (fast
acting with LED's), or a
digital model such as from Jumptronix, to monitor
air fuel ratios if you
want. Cheap, and nice to have anyway.

Re: Team3S: safe to run 10 psi on 15G's w/ stock

Bill,
"Safe" for the most part is determined by the amount
of detonation.
When you installed a boost controller and took the stock BC
"out of
the loop", you also removed one of the ways the ECM protects
against
knock (by reducing boost). This is now your job. The ECM can
still
reduce timing and add fuel to reduce knock.
With a 1991-1993 you
can use a datalogger to monitor knock counts and
set the boost or other
engine parameters accordingly. Otherwise, you
will have to monitor for knock
the old fashioned way - spark plug
inspection, listening for audible clues,
and perception of timing
retard through a performance degradation.
So,
is it "safe" to run your particular engine at 10 psi boost? You
tell us. I
would guess that for most 3S engines that are in good
shape it is. But
excessive carbon buildup on the piston crowns (for
example) could easily
lower the boost threshhold for knock.
> 10 psi on 360 cc injectors
would seem to equal
> 22-23 psi on 550 cc injectors
Presuming you are
using the expression "24 psia / 360 injectors is
the same as 36 psia / 550
injecors", you should realize that the
relationship between boost threshold
and knock is not linear with
injector size. Go to the "Engine" section on the
Tech Page at my web
site for links to more information on the causes and
prevention of
knock.

and a full ATR exhaust (w/ high flow cat, not test-pipe), as
well as
a boost controller.
10 psi on 360 cc injectors would seem to
equal 22-23 psi on 550 cc
injectors
What is the Team 3/S opinion on
this? If it seems to be a bit risky,
whatamount should be
safe? 9 psi ?

Re: Team3S: safe to run 10 psi on 15G's w/ stock fuel?
xwing:
Thank you for the recommendation of the Jumptronix AF meter, it
looks like
that would be a good purchase.
Jeff L. : I understand that
knock from higher boost pressures is not
avoided by using larger injectors
alone. I meant to ask if there was plenty
of fuel available for 10 psi
(from 15G's) at redline from the stock 360
injectors, which as you noted
would mean there is plenty of fuel at redline
for 22 psi w/ 550 injectors
based on psi.

"Safe" for the most part is determined by the amount of

Dustin,
Both of my replacements have
been "remanufactures". Unfortunately, this
seems to be the
norm.
Ah yes, Victor at Libertyville Mitsu. He was unsuccessful in
getting them
to replace my 2nd tranny (leaking seal) and suggested AAMCO
do
it............WHAAAA!

RE: Team3S: safe to run 10 psi on 15G's w/ stock fuel?
I'm confused by
this discussion. Isn't 15psi, 15psi regardless of what
turbos you are
running? Why do 360 injectors work for 9b turbos at 15psi
and not with
15G turbos? I can understand that spiking may be more
dangerous or
something with 15Gs but I'm confused why you would have to go
down to
10psi. Could somebody shed more light on this
topic?
Thanks,
Christopher
