Good illustration. How about a more basic question.
How do I adjust the timing? (Old engines were adjusted
by rotating the distributor, newer ones are not
adjustable as the computer adjusts automatically,
These 1991, 1992 fall in between.) Is there a screw
that is turned, or?

The service manual explains how to adjust basic ignition timing. In 1991 and
1992 models the CAS (crank/cam angle sensor) is moved to actually change basic
timing while following the manual's procedure. The CAS for 1991-1992 models is
identified in the lower pic on my web page below.

http://www.stealth316.com/2-oilpresloc.htm

Basic ignition timing is not adjustable in 1993 and newer models.

Subject: Team3S: Air Fuel Ratio Under Normal Conditions...

So please tell me if I've got this right:

For the record, my GReddy A/F gauge (brand new O2 sensor) reads from 8.0
(full rich) to 16.0 (full lean) and I have a Fed-spec '95 VR-4 with a
completely stock fuel system, 2 stock O2 sensors, running around 0.9kg of
boost with a DSBC.  The GReddy O2 sensor is a 4-wire heated sensor that was
placed in the normally-unused downstream bung for the front bank (~12"
downstream of front turbo) in my Stillen downpipe.  The car is currently set
up for track use and has none of the three stock catalytic converters.

Here's what I'm seeing :

16.0: Engine braking (injectors off) above XXXX RPM
14.7: Idle, Partial Throttle Cruise, Light Acceleration
13.0: Low RPM WOT acceleration in 6th (55mph - 70mph)
(normal?)
12.0: WOT acceleration above 3000RPM in any gear
11.5: Initial reading when flooring it sometimes,
      after 1-2sec, it goes back to 12.0  (normal?)


Is this what I should be seeing?  It seems reasonable, but I've still got a
bit to learn about the fuel-related side of tuning.  The 13.0 reading seems
a little strange to me...

So far, the gauge seems to work pretty well.  I'm still playing with the
temperature calibration for the gauge (it has settings based on how far the
sensor is from the block), but it works great when it's all heated up.
After idling in the Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru for 10 minutes, it was a
little flakey until things warmed back up.  I may bump the temperature
setting down one notch to compensate for the lower EGTs at the sensor's
location.

Everything but the low rpm WOT accel issue looks to be on point with what I
saw from my 93 VR-4 on the dyno at Adrenaline Motorsports in Auburn.  Not
sure what is causing the 13.0:1 but I would definitely be concerned.....

Corrections and additions are appreciated.

Supposedly there is Dyno Authority in Redmond, WA with an AWD dyno (2nd hand

Subject: Team3S: Apology + Open dump mod opinion

I have on several occasions over the past few weeks screwed up and forgot to
trim down my replies to post from list (I realized I just did it again on
this last post by me).  So I am publicly apologizing for my negligence and
stupidity (more of the latter than anything else) to all the digest members
and ask that they do not crucify particularly because I am a skinny little
SOB and would probably burn like a piece of kindling ;)

Now onto the important stuff, over on another forum I have seen several
listers who are developing and open dump mod for our cars (similar to what
the DSM's do) and I have something very important to mention concerning it.
  This mod will not help those people running 13 and even 15G turbos you are
far better off having the housing heavily ported first then playing around
with open dumps for 2 reasons, 1 the extra noise at WOT WILL GET THE
ATTENTION of your local constabulary, and 2 at those airflow levels it truly
is not needed. As for 17G and larger cars you are better off trying to find
a 7cm housing because even the open dump mod is not going to be able to
adequately bypass enough Exhaust gas to make huge improvements in the
restriction that the TD04 6cm housing poses.

Opposing view points welcomed and appreciated

Cruising in 6th at 55-70 mph would likely run under the 3000rpm mark
where the fuel pump voltage is restricted by a resistor. Over 3000 rpm
the resistor shuts off allowing full power to the pump.

Nothing all that significant right now... 

K&N Aircharger
Blitz DSBC
GReddy BPV
Stillen Downpipe
Some suspension stuff
Some gauges
Various synthetic fluids
SVH

Now that I think about it, that 13.0 reading might have been when the sensor
hadn't fully warmed back up (from extended idling), so I'll have to get some
more data.  I do remember seeing it sit at 13.0 for 3-4 seconds while I
floored it in 6th and thought it strange.  The car runs very well right now
- - no complaints - so if things are "off" on the A/F readings, I'm more apt
to suspect the gauge over anything else at this point.  Like I said, still
messing around with the temperature setting to compensate for the sensor
being 24" away from the block.

Subject: Team3S: Transfer Case Losing Oil

 Hello Again,
I have another question. Does anyone out there have a problem with the
transfer case blowing oil out of the breather? I just changed the oil in it
about 300 miles ago with Mobil 1 75W90. I'll admit that I overfilled it and
it pushed some out the vent, but I opened the fill plug and drained the
excess. Still today after setting the timing, (Thanks Jeff Lucius for the
timing link)and taking it arround town to do some "Honey Dos'", it still is
dripping. I'm positive its not coming from the seals.
Thanks for any advice in advance,

Subject: Re: Team3S: Apology + Open dump mod opinion

I've been following the thread and was of the opinion that there are too many
variables to make it an easy decision. Obviously it would do no good on a
stock system since at WOT and max boost the waste gate will never open.
It would seem it's best application is larger turbos with a restrictive exhaust.
I forgot if this replaces the precats ??? they claim better flow through that
section of the exhaust.

I'll be running a 368 configuration and I'm tempted to try it --- not cheap at
$250 but compared to the other expenses I've encountered not bad. A true
3" dual system would seem a better option.

See that is the thing I am getting at in all reality the stock turbine
housing is just to small for anything more than 15G's and IMHO you are
pushing the limits at that point also. ideal set up in my opinion is 17G's
with a 7CM housing, and at least true dual 2.75" exhaust from the turbine
housing back. 

But again what do I know and since everyone seems to be such lag babies.
REALITY CHECK there is no magic turbo if you want high end power then you
deal with lag, if you want efficient highend power you go with a moderately
sized turbo with a appropriately sized turbine housing. 

Just look at turbos like the HKS 28/35's or true Garrett 30/30's they have
about 500 rpms more lag than the stockers but are 600+ AWHP
capable.................

I am going to get off my soap box now.........

Voltage to the fuel pump makes no difference in the A/F if the pump and its
*stock* electrical circuit are functioning normally. The fuel pressure
regulator will maintain the correct pressure (and that means the pressure
expected by the ECM) at the injectors. It is the pressure at the injectors,
and the injector activation duration, that determines the fuel delivery, not
the flow by the pump. Excess flow is returned to the tank. Underflow during
cruising should not happen if the pump and its circuit are in good shape in a
relatively stock car such as Erik's. Underflow would also be marked by
underpressure at the injectors.

The reason voltage is reduced at idle and low load is to reduce fuel flow.
This is desirable because at low fuel-line pressure (low or no boost that is)
the fuel pump flows the *most* volume. Pump volume flow is reduced as fuel
line pressure increases (as boost increases) and so more voltage is required
(or desirable).

Cruising in 6th at 55-70 mph would likely run under the 3000rpm mark
where the fuel pump voltage is restricted by a resistor. Over 3000 rpm
the resistor shuts off allowing full power to the pump.

Subject: Team3S: Clutch install, what did I do wrong?

Got done with my clutch yesterday... Its got some tuning issues and I got to
get used to it... Its a Spec Stage 3, 4 puck high friction etc etc. I
followed the instructions on Jeff's site (and they were good, saved me much
time) but I got the a problem now which is a bit scary....

When I downshift, specially at high RPM, soon as the clutch grips, I get
this *CLUNK* or sometimes a *CLUNK* *clunk* which I can feel in my
floorboard, it feels like its coming from the transfer case. It sounds
scary... Like a drive shaft not being in all the way or something... I don't
know. I looked at it and everything seems ok. It does it on downshifting and
sometimes if I get to high RPM and just let go off the gas pedal real fast,
it does it too but much softer. I don't think it has to do with the clutch
itself because it does it when I let of off the gas too.... Is there some
gasket or some spacer that I forgot to put into one of the drive shafts or
something? I know my passenger side C-ring on the half-shaft is in there....
I didn't replace it and that thing was a pain to put in!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tyson

Subject: Team3S: In need of help with High Pressure fuel line

Ok, I got a recycled fuel assembly for $60 but now I am having a major
problem with connecting the high pressure line.  Every time I try to put
the hose on, it just twist the rubber hose and kinks it.  I tried
twisting the hose the opposite way before threading it on and I can only
get it about half way threaded on so the hose is not kinked or tangled.
I cannot get the high pressure connection near the gas tank undone but I
would have the same exact problem when I would try to install that line.
Is the rubber hose supposed to spin in the fitting?  I will pay anyone
who can come either late Saturday afternoon or Sunday to fix it.  I live
near Pottstown Pa.  I am so fed up with this and I think I am ready to
break something.  I turned the car on with the fitting only half way and
of course gasoline shot everywhere.  I don't know how anyone could
easily do this unless maybe their car was brand new when they did it.  I
am really at wits end so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

On occasion I have used KY water soluble lubricant to get rubber hoses

It sounds like you have not loosened the front fitting or it isn't loose
enough.  Once the front fitting is loose, the hose should spin freely
without twisting.

To loosen it, jack up the RR wheel, place a jackstand under the car and then
climb under there with your 19mm and 14mm wrenches and a flashlight.  You
will see the front of the hose connected to the hard pipe that goes to the
engine bay.  Keep the Hose portion as stationary as you can and loosen the
fitting.  Once that is loose, the entire hose should be able to spin easy.

Subject: Re: Team3S: Air Fuel Ratio Under Normal Conditions...

FWIW --- Full fuel flow can pose several problems. If left at full flow at idle
the system is constantly circulating large amounts of fuel from the pump
back to the tank. That results in several problems --- it heats the fuel as it
circulates through the pump and the fuel rails in the engine bay it also
aerates the fuel which can cause problems if the pickup is too close to
the return.

I've abandoned my Aeromotive plans for a dual Walboro setup --- I'm
thinking of using the fuel pump relay II to switch one of the pumps on
and off so that at 3K rpm and below I'll have one pump and above 3K
I'll have two pumps.        Anybody see problems with this ?? comments
welcome.

Subject: Team3S: ECU Fixed!

Woo-hoo!

$1 in parts, $10 in shipping and $20 for soldering and my ECU looks like its
good to go! I came DAMN close to spending $1000 to have the dealer replace
it!

I installed the fixed unit tonight and - no Check Engine light, no ABS
light, no other lights.  And - better yet - it actually started, which is
more than it did before the fix!

Special thanks to glenn vrfour for pointing out John Monnins web page with
the instructions.  (Glenn - do I owe you $969?)

I had my local TV repair shop guy install the capacitors - $20!  He said
afterword that he had them in stock - I could have saved the $10 shipping
from digikey.

I'll know for sure that I'm good in the morning after my crappy downpipe
muffler-tape repair job has dried and I get the chance to drive the car.
(Don't ask - rotted at the flex point on the factory pipe.   If I ever roll
the car I'll die because the EMS guys will be so busy laughing at my
downpipe hack job they'll forget to pull me out).  I'm just waiting for my
wife to appreciate the advantages of a nice aftermarket downpipe or for hell
to freeze over, whichever comes first......

Thanks again Glenn!

Subject: Team3S: Transaxel

Hello

I have totaly peparied my ES.
Now when i am finished i started the engine.
I runs like a Opel Omega. Quiet and like a cat. Rrrrr.

When i push down the clutch everything is ok.
I slowly let it up and then the hole engine start to shake like Elvis.
I feels like something doesent fit thogether.

Any suggestion.
Could it be that the car is hanging in the air and have no pressure from the
wheels on the transaxel.
Could the cluch make any problems? I dont think so.

I see that US have a different way to the exaust problem. Your cars have
very low CO, HC and the demands is much lower. The registration of a new car
must have harder rules then the yearly/second yearly checkup. Right?

Hans
