Re: Team3S: BOV - Goop!
Did you recently clean and re-oil your air filter
or just install a K&N? I
have read other posts of people who had
some BOV problems with a new or
re-oiled air filter.

Spark blowout
should show as a fast jump to a very lean condition at high
boost. There
will be no firing in the cylinders = lots of oxygen in the
exhaust.

Team3S: Front mount oil coolers avail. soon
Hello everyone,
As some of
you know, i changed my name to Jack a while back. I kept going
by Wayne on
this list because everyone knew me as such.
Next week i will be moving
back to my homeland in Minnesota, and will be
operating a Shop (Mitsubishi
Specialties). One of the first things i will
be selling is a front mount oil
cooler kit for both Turbo and N/A 3000GT's
and Stealths. I posted a thread
on 3si relating to this system, the link is
below.
The prototype is
mounted and working on my car, the only thing i need to do
is finish the
installation manual. (wow, an aftermarket product with
instructions, the
world is changing)
The kit is a little pricey, but most of that cost is
the cooler, which is $465.
I have not measured oil temp because i had to
get my car running ASAP so i
could drive it to Mn rather than pay to have it
shipped. As soon as time
permits, i will install an oil temp guage and post
the results.
Jack (aka Wayne)

Team3S: Car to die when clutch engaged?
Hello all,
Another problem
abounds. Lately my stealth dies whenever the clutch
is
engaged. The car normally idles at about 700 RPM in nuetral,
but when the
clutch is engaged, it immediately drops to 500, studders, then
dies. It
doesn't die while accelerating, just when I depress the clutch
and apply the
brakes to stop. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gabe

Subject: Re: Team3S:
BOV question
Rod --- I didn't see anybody answer, let me give it a
try.
If your stock BOV is working, an aftermarket BOV will not provide
any
improvement --- the reason for changing is to have a prettier BOV,
have
a BOV that has a real cool sound or fix a broken stock unit. The
failure
of the stock unit is greatly exaggerated [ IMHO ] and the unit is
designed
to release the compressed air back into the intake tract after the
MAS. The
reason for this is because the ECU has already been told the air is
on the
way and in turn has told the injectors to supply fuel for that air. If
you vent
the air back out of the system you'll get a momentary rich condition
which
can cause the car to stumble --- I have a Blitz BOV that vents to the
atmosphere and have had zero problems. Venting to the atmosphere
also
sounds cool, if you're into cool. Others have reported the stumbling
that
I mentioned as a result of the rich mixture.
BTW, the purpose of
the BOV is to release the pressurized air when the
throttle is suddenly
shut, as during a shift. If the pressure is not released
it apparently
causes shock waves that can cause damage to the turbos.
As I recall it's also
called the bypass air valve along with the blow off valve.
If anybody has
read this far the question is --- for drag race purposes
you would get
better times or at least better spool up if you disabled the
BOV. Does
anybody know if 5 quarter mile passes per month would
seriously shorten the
life of a turbo ???????????

Subject: Team3S:
Cannot remove brake rotors
I started the brake job that I had to do after
my first open tracking trip.
I made a little web page
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~gphilip/.
I
was trying to pull the rotors by screwing bolts into them and hoping that
they would pop. But the thread in the rotors is strange. I do not think it
is standard. But even if it is metric, then it is not the standard metric
thread but a little finer. Does anyone know what thread that is and where I
could get bolts that would fit that thread?
I might have to heat the
rotors with a torch. But I still have to be able
to pull them somehow after
they heat up. Those bolts would be a big help.
Philip
