What is the best way to clean the inside
of a the stock IC pipes? Should I
just use carb cleaner or
something?

That's a little pricey and probably overkill ----
something like paint thinner
or lacquer thinner and a rag are all that's
required. Paint thinner is
probably the safest to work with from a
flammability point of view.

Team3S: Fixing Broken Bleeder Screw
Ok so I got a #2 ez-out, and my
speedbleeders should be here on Tuesday.
Now my questions should I
use a larger ezout and if so what size? Also when
installing the new
speed bleeders should I use thread tape or thread goo
when installing
them?

A word of caution on the ez-out --- be
careful, if you break it off in the
hole you've got a mess on your hands, you
can't drill an ez-out out.
I'd drill the bleeder out to a larger diameter
and use as large an ez-out as
you can to help prevent breakage. The other key
is to make sure you
only twist the ez-out and don't put any side forces on
it.
I'd also use a dab of anti seize compound on the new one --- too
much
and you might end up with some in the hydraulic system --- I don't know
what that would do but it probably isn't
good.

RE: Team3S: 'Start Duty' setting for Apexi AVC-R?
Yeah Dave I do,
turn learn mode off in all gears but 3rd, get the car
hitting your
target boost in third. Then use start duty +6 in first +3
in
second +/- 1 in third (depends if you are getting "too much"
overboost)
Then -6 in fourth and -9 in 5th...... Keep in mind these
settings are for a
93 VR-4 but they should give you a good starting
point.

FW: Team3S: Ignition upgrade (warning and options)
OK Folks, I just got
off the phone with my local autozone about prices for
the GN Coil pack, they
have to order it and it will take about day and a
half to get but its only
$99. Now if someone else on the list could
confirm/deny this price with
their local shop I would appreciate it :)
If it is correct I will
order it Thursday and report back to list around
Sunday/Monday with my
results. Just so Roger has one less thing to try out.
I will be testing
these in place of the stock coils no MSD/HKS add ons.
Finally feel like
I am contributing to the list ;p

You'll need three of them, if they are like the stock coils (single coil
per
pack, two plug outputs for wasted-spark system). Jeg's has them for
$85.99
each.

Now that I have apologized for my inadequacies ;) see
below for the
pertinent information Roger sent to me
At Summit Racing
search for :
MSD-8878 and ACC-140016
These are the parts that fit

No absolutely not. The GN coil pack has three
coils in one pack ! Only it's
connection is GN specific but with the MSD
adapter no problem anymore.

Very nice, I couldn't find a picture of it anywhere so I assumed
wrongly.
I'd be interested in hearing how this coil pack works, especially
without a
DIS-4.
For the price, this looks like a great option if it
works.

My thoughts :) The GN DIS Coil pack can be found in the pdf file
on
www.mrgasket.com site. The adapter
is on the MSD site under the new for 2002
section. The data of the
coils are close to our stock system but are
stronger and of higher quality so
the inductive voltage should be higher.
We'll see
;-)

Team3S: stealth316.com has moved (again)
I have had it with Yahoo
geocities (limited storage, no offsite
linking to images, restricted file
types, etc.) and have moved to
PowWeb, where I have plenty of storage and all
the services I need. I
also took this opportunity to re-organize my web site.
I apologize to
those that link or bookmark directly to my web pages, but this
change
should be the last url change. Any future moves (not for at least
14
months) should be transparent. Also please bear with any
glitches
caused buy the move or re-organization. This re-organization
will
facilitate an index and search utilities.
As always,
www.stealth316.com automatically forwards
to the current
host (powweb now). The old web sites should disappear -
geocities
(gone!) and 3SI (I have been trying for 6 months!).
Here is
an example of an improved url (for my turbo upgrade guide):
Old web site (no
longer exists!):
http://www.geocities.com/lutransys/jlucius2/j2-2-turboguide.htmNew
web site:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-turboguide.htmI
have had mixed success with the email features. Sometimes
jlucius@stealth316.com works and
sometimes it doesn't.
stealthman92@yahoo.com always seems to
work.

about 160 web pages
about 1480

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Fixing Broken Bleeder Screw
The SpeedBleeder comes with thread
sealant already applied (you can see
it in the pictures on their site,
www.speedbleeder.com/install.htm).
They
just warn to not overtighten and I can't stress that enough. It
doesn't
need to be completely cranked shut to block out brake fluid.
That is what the
thread sealant helps to do.
SpeedBleeder sells thread sealant but I
imagine stuff from the store is
fine if you need it.
And don't do the
Boy Scout way of "turn it til you strip it then tighten
another 1/4 turn" as
this is not recommended. <grin> Just turn it
until it is
snug. I can remember a direction that Brad Bedell told me
when I was
installing them in my Big Reds ... he said, "Remember that if
you strip the
threads of the Big Red when installing them then your $14
SpeedBleeders are
going to end up costing $1,500." Needless to say I
had to tighten them
1/4 turn after 1/4 turn until the brake fluid
stopped dripping. I just
*did not* want to overtighten it initially.

Ok so I got a #2
ez-out, and my speedbleeders should be here on Tuesday.
Now my
questions should I use a larger ezout and if so what size?
Also
when
installing the new speed bleeders should I use thread tape or
thread goo
when installing them?

I am not
familiar with 3S brake bleeders just yet, but if they are like
99.9% of all
the bleeders out there, they seal on the tapered cone at the
tip the bleeder
screw. The thread does not participate in sealing, the cone
does. And that
compound on the threads should be anti-seize, so that it is
easier to loosen
the bleeder after it goes through several years of driving
in snow and
salt.
>SpeedBleeder sells thread sealant but I imagine stuff from the

They say they have thread sealant
there, oh well... Whatever. Anything will
work as long as it keeps water and
salt out.

Good advice. It
is hard to undertighten those. Even if you hand-tighten it
by mistake and it
starts leaking, you brake fluid level warning light (if
working properly)
will tell you right away that you have a fluid
leak.
