I would assume the galling occurs as the nut is being
undone ---- if it was torqued
and then somehow the heat/racing increased the
stretch on the bolt galling could
occur as soon as it starts to move --- in
most track applications the work is being
done with hand tools so it's
unlikely that the studs are crossthreaded initially which
is the most common
problem with studs.I think it was Merritt that had problems as
a result of
retightening when hot and breaking studs --- some form of galling is the
only
thing I can think of.
Antisieze works for me --- I haven't broken a stud
and more importantly none of my
nuts fell
off. Sorry about that, I couldn't help
myself.

I think those are different responses ---- stuck rotors as a
result of road salt and
other such goo, no corrosion would occur as a result
of a track event.

Team3S: 3S National Gathering
Does anyone have 1/4 mile times from the
National Gathering? I'm wondering
if anyone ran a 10 or even set a new
record. Looking at the pics you would
think that one of those cars with
monster turbos would do it. Unless they
were just "show"
cars.
Did GT Pro deliver on their 1000 hp promise?
A 1000hp car should
run in the low 9s.
Man I wish I wasn't working that weekend. Maybe
next year.

John,
I
got my big reds from Stoddard Porsche in Ohio. It seems like they
were
around $800 for the pair, but I'm not sure. It probably pays to
shop
around. Just ask for a quote on a set of 993 turbo front
calipers. You
will need to make, or have made, a set of adapter
brackets. I've got a cad
print if you need it. I sent it to
someone a while back who said they were
going to put it on their web site,
but I can't recall who it was.

Those curious about the GTPro drag car (DragPro),
it's not ready to run
yet. Enough tuning was done to get it to run
under it's own power,
idle, and maybe get some decent high load power.
No mid load and low
load maps were derived for the AEM ECU in the time they
had prior to the
gathering, therefore, no launching ability nor shifting
ability. When
things are worked out (shortly), I'm sure you'll hear
about it. Lord
knows, I want to hear about it, if not see
it.

Team3S: Request procedure to replace thermostat
I don't have an official
step-by-step procedure for the thermostat, but it
is simple, and I've done it
so I'll tell you what I did.
Preparations -Have replacement coolant
mixture
-Have a scraper in case the old gasket won't come
off
-Responsibly collect old coolant, which flows out of the
engine when you pull
the hoses
Remove the Y-Pipe
Unplug and removed the MAS (not
necessary, but gives a little more room)
Remove the air intake hose that
connects to the MAS
Remove the lower radiator hose (coolant will begin
flowing out)
Remove the four bolts of the thermostat housing (they are
different sizes so
label them)
Remove the cover for the thermostat
housing
Remove the old thermostat
Install the new thermostat, there is
jiggle valve that needs to be aligned
with the mark on the top of the
housing.
Reverse removal procedures, when reinstalling the air intake hoses
there are
markings on the tops that need to be aligned. And, remember
to reconnect
the MAS wiring.

Dan Johnson

The gasket on mine was a rubber
seal that went around the edge of
the thermostat housing --- not a flat
gasket as you would have for the
exhaust manifold for example. FWIW --- I
mentioned this before but
I thought it worth repeating. The Great Satin
wanted $50 or $60 for
the thermostat, I found what appears to be an exact
duplicate at an
auto parts store for about $17 --- they also had a generic
POS one
for $9 which should be avoided unless you're selling the car to
someone you don't like.

Greddy Type S - Catching Gear Linkage?
Installed my Greddy Type S BOV
last night...
I think I got it in right (the car runs and I can hear
it
"blow off").... so I assume I got it on right.
I have a hard time, near
impossible, getting it into
1st, 3rd and 5th gears.
Somewhere I had
heard about it interfering with the
gear linkage. It was a thread I read a
long time ago.
Does anyone know about this and how to reposition
the
Greddy Type S so it doesn't interfere. I looked at it
very briefly
this morning at my office and can't see
where it is catching...
Also,
there are two ports (vacuum) but we only have
one line. The other one
attaches to what? Or does it
stay open to the atmosphere?
Sorry guys,
I know many of you have probably heard
this a million times, but I could use
your guidance.
Thanx!

I think I found where it is catching, in fact I am
pretty sure I
can see it.
It appears that I need to elevate the MAS and the K&N
a
little so the linkage can slide under the BOV. It is
barely catching the end
of it.
Did everyone make a custom bracket for the K&N?
What about the
second vacuum nipple?

I looked that up after I posted
and found the same thing --- I wonder if
Rockville Mitsu is selling a non
Mitsu part. Or maybe I was quoted wrong
at my dealer ??? I just called
my dealer and was quoted $39.40 this time,
still a pretty good
markup.

What car do you have

VR-4 to a second gen
VR-4 and that might be enough to make the
difference. I think you can
search the archives of where people zip-tie

I had a similar problem on
my 95VR4 after installing the Greddy BOV. I
ziptied the BOV up and out
of the way as best I could but I still had a
little problem occasionally
getting into 5th gear. I noticed that the
corner of the counterweight
on the linkage was still catching up on the BOV.
So I decided to use my
Dremel tool with a small grinding wheel to grind down
the corner of the
counterweight enough so that it's out of the way. I can
provide a pic

Re: Team3S: 3S National Gathering
Those curious about the GTPro drag
car (DragPro), it's not ready to run
yet. Enough tuning was done to
get it to run under it's own power,
idle, and maybe get some decent high
load power. No mid load and low
load maps were derived for the AEM ECU
in the time they had prior to the
gathering, therefore, no launching ability
nor shifting ability. When
things are worked out (shortly), I'm sure
you'll hear about it. Lord

it.

Re: Team3S: Head ?
Fairly complete cylinder head and timing train
info:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-headinfo.htmHead
assemblies have the same part number for production date 9205.1 till the
end
of production. However, '91 and '92 heads may actually bolt to '93 and
later
blocks. There really are very few differences in heads between years and
turbo/non-turbo models - DOHC.
Interestingly, CAPS data indicate
model years start with 9x06.1 production
dates. However, CAPS lists the
heads changing in 9205.1, one month before '93
production should have
started. CAPS does show the block assembly changing on
9206.1 so maybe this
is a typo in CAPS. Because of the CAS move from the head
to the block in
'93, both the block and head must change at the same time.

RE: List Prices [was] Re: Team3S: Request procedure to

I had this recently with dash defrost vents. Two local
dealerships here
in
SE FL quoted me both the highest and lowest prices I
can find. Same for
a
TPS - $106 vs $170. They're about 6 miles
apart.....and are both owned
by
the same entity!!!
I think Mitsu
gives out a msrp, and the dealerships take it from there.
Coconut Creek Mitsu
can even beat Rockville if you say your are
3si/teams3s.
But they won't
ship, so for lucky locals only.

I found the same thing with the fuel filter
I
purchased Locally (Korum Mitsubishi, Puyallup WA).
The 'List' price the
local dealer charged me was about
20 percent higher that the Rockville 'list'
price.
Hey anyone want to have fun?? call your local dealer
and
get a price for the thermostat (MD174234). E-mail
me privately with the
price and dealership, and I will
post the results. I think we will find
that 'List' is
just a made up number.

How to remove cigarette lighter?
Hey all,
I fried my lighter and
aux power source a few years back using a portable
air pump, and now that I'm
back on the road I need to get these working (for
G-Tech, cell-phone, and
uhh, smoking)
I traced the lighter problem to the lighter itself, I
have power going into
it. But - I can't figure our how to get the darn
thing out to replace it.
I see that there's a few plastic clips around
it, of which I immediate
broke a few trying to release them. But
that didn't help.
What's the secret?
Thanks,
Steve C.

Team3S: Big Hiccup
Hey! What was that big Internet hiccup just
now?
For about 15 minutes at abotu 6:15-6:30 central time, I couldn't raise
nobody, not on phone, private Intranet nor cable modem. When I got through to
one of my ISPs, the Internet was dead.
Are we going to read about this
tomorrow in COMPUTERWORLD?
