Team3S: Hesitation problem (Long)
Doug,
You have done so much for
her! It is unbelievable that she is still
hesitating. ;-)
The time
has come for the ultimate troubleshooting. Try to troubleshoot it
from the
other end. It is either fuel or spark. You already replaced the
injectors.
Hopefully they open. To check the fuel pressure buy a cheap fuel
pressure
gauge. I bought a sending unit only from Summit and I measure its
resistance
while driving. It is a VDO sending unit VDO-360900D. I converted
it to
measure differential fuel pressure by drilling a hole on its side and
supplying boost pressure there. My pressure readings now stay still
regardless of the boost level.
To check spark, you will need to make
a voltage divider like this one
http://www.tweecer.com/StreetDyno/vdivide2.gif.
Then record the primary
voltage of each coil during the hesitation and use
the GoldWave software to
read the spark signal. I will then post how to read
the spark blowout.
I wish I could post pictures of the sending unit and
the spark blowout, but
I need to figure out what to do with this AEM ECU
now. I will post them
some time later if you do not
mind.

The condensate drain line is

Maybe you knocked some blockage loose and now it drains

Team3S: Super Tune
I just took my 97 VR 4 in for the 60000 mile oh my god
service. The
service writer was talking to me about a super tune up they do
on VR
4's. Apparently they modify some vacuum hoses and such to raise
the
boost to 14-15 full time instead of the stock 9-11. He said that is
the
maximum boost without more mods to the fuel system. He said this
would
be the most effective bump in HP without going to new parts. Cost
would
be $250. Any comments or even explanations of what he was talking
about?

Subject: RE: Team3S:
Super Tune
Is $250 for the 60k + the upgrade or just the
upgrade?
More likely than not, they're talking about a manual boost
controller.
If that's the case and the price is for just the upgrade, then
250 is
outrageous. The manual boost controller is a $5 part from a pet
supply
store. All it does is make a controllable hole in one of the lines
to
the boost control solenoid, effectively dropping the pressure
the
wastegates see thereby keeping them closed longer and allowing for
more
boost to build up. Go to Jeff Lucius' site @
www.stealth316.com for
more
info.
Again, $250 for just that is absolutely ridiculous. It'll
cost $5 to do
yourself, and shouldn't cost more than 40-50 to have someone
else do it.
Alex.

Re: Team3S: Hesitation problem (Long)
Thanks for the suggestion,
Philip. I will do as you suggested right after I
check one more thing
first.
Brian, or Brainfood on 3Si, brought his ECU and ISC to the track
tonight and
let me swap out mine. I now know that my ECU and ISC are
good. Everyone at
the track said they could see my car running
rich. Lots of soot coming out
the back. I even had my SAFC set at
-24. I'm too chicken to run it any
leaner without a AF gauge
I
think I may have found the source tonight.
I blew my Y pipe off on my way
home from the track. I was out in the middle
of the boonies with no
light and no place to stop except in the middle of
the road, so I drove in
3rd gear with a little more gas for about 1/2 a mile
until I found a street
light. As I was driving with my Y pipe off, I
noticed that my car was
acting just like it does when it hesitates.
I have a crack in my EGR
exhaust pipe. I've been putting off replacing the
pipe because I have
been scared to break the bolts on the turbo manifold
loose. I sheared
one bolt off the front turbo and had to take the turbo to
a machine shop to
have it removed. The rear turbo seems like too much of a
challenge for
the time I have to work on the car.
My new theory is that because of the
crack in the EGR pipe, there is less
pressure behind the EGR valve than
normal. Once pressure builds up in the
intake manifold higher than the
strength of the EGR valve's spring (like
over 7psi in my case) then the EGR
valve opens and lets the air bleed off
into the cracked EGR pipe. I'm
going to run to M&S tomorrow and get a
replacement pipe. I'll be
crossing my fingers.

Team3S: 1st day at the track
Today was the 1st day that I ran my car at
the 1/4 mile track. A group of
people from the Sacramento and a few of
the surrounding areas came to run
their 3S's. Despite my hesitation
problem, I had a blast! This was also
the first time I was able to meet
other 3Sers. It was great to be able to
talk to people who's eyes don't
glaze over when I get excited about changing
my SAFC settings.
I was
able to get in 5 runs. I won 3 of them even with sucky times!
My
first and last runs were with my boost controller turned off. The
other
3, I was playing with it and changing out my ECU and ISC to see if I
could
fix my hesitation problem.
Here are my
runs:
1st at 7psi and about 100
degrees. 5:30pm
React: 1.418 (I'm a newbie. What are
those shiny lights for?)
60': 2.108
1/8:
9.854
1/8mph: 71.667
1/4: 15.432
1/4mph:
89.562
2nd at 14psi and new ECU (lots of
hesitation)
React: 1.677 (So I'm supposed to go when it is
green?)
60': 2.223
1/8: 10.805
1/8mph:
60.566
1/4: 16.876
1/4mph:
85.156
3rd at 14psi and new ISC(lots of
hesitation)
React: .732 (wow, I actually paid attention to the
shiny lights)
60': 2.485
1/8: 10.832
1/8mph:
66.104
1/4: 16.772
1/4mph:
82.751
4th at 14psi and fiddling with
SAFC
React: .977 (what can I say? I was still pressing
buttons)
60': 2.104
1/8: 10.669
1/8mph:
62.535
1/4: 16.901
1/4mph: 83.061
I pulled
up an inch too far and put the car in reverse to turn those 2nd set
of lights
back on. The track guy decided it was a good time to start my
tree when
I had it in reverse.
5th at 7psi air had
cooled to about 80 by now. (9:30 pm)
React: 1.506 (reverse to 1st
in 1.5 seconds)
60': 2.521 (car bogged, I had to launch at 2500 rpms
since the green light
had been lit for a while)
1/8:
10.179
1/8mph: 73.249
1/4: 15.633
1/4mph:
91.792
It was a great day at the track but it could have been a lot
better. I'll
be back when I fix my hesitation problem. Next time,
I'm launching on the
2nd yellow instead of the green. One day I'll be
in the 12s.

Team3S: HP difference between 1G/2G
There is supposedly a ring-like
restrictor on the 1G boost solenoid that
allows it to only boost to
9psi. I've heard of people removing this and
having the 1G stock boost
solenoid boosting to 2G levels of 12psi. I've
also heard of people
swapping out a 1G boost solenoid with a 2G which
olbviously yields the same
result as above. I don't have any experience
doing either though since
I own a 2G.
AFAIK, that is that only difference to account for the 20hp
difference
between 1G and 2G.

Mitsu List Prices vs Retail Prices
AFAIK, Mitsu sets forth standard list
prices across all Mitsu dealerships.
Then each dealership applies its own
markup essentially coming up with their
own "retail" price. So list
prices from all dealerships should ALWAYS be
the same whereas retail prices
vary from dealership to dealership depending
on markup.
The other
thing to pay attention to is when a dealership mentions it gives a
25%
discount, find out whether that discount applies to the LIST price or
the
RETAIL price. It can make a big difference and make a seemingly
big
discount much smaller than that of another dealership.

95VR4
http://www.daveblack.netI 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.

The bottom metal housing is threaded and
screws into the top. IIRC you have
to grab the bottom metal part
(remove passenger side cover for the console
first) and then twist it.
I just had the thing off about 2 months ago, but
I've already forgotten what
all that looks like under there :( I do know
it's threaded,

Within narrow boost range, HP is
probably linear enough to just use:

So
nothing else needs to change to account for the HP difference.

a year when I apply it again. If it does increase it,
say, 20% then my
torque of 95 ft*lbs would be around 114 ft*lbs and the
recommended range is
anywhere from 87-101 ft*lbs. Maybe I'll drop mine
to 90 ft*lbs until I
can verify the torque of the wrench like you did
(where did you verify this
by the way - I had mine serviced by Sears
somewhere in Texas and a month
later received it back but I didn't think
to have them verify the torque it
was applying).

Re: Team3S: Greddy Type S - Catching Gear Linkage?
You can easily
reposition the Type-S so that it doesn't interfere with your
shift linkage.
There are two methods known to me: zip tie the sucker to the
clutch vacuum
hose, or go to your local autoparts store with all your tools
and run some
custom hose. It is pretty easy to run the custom hose, and I
trust it a
little more than a zip tie ;) You may have probelms relocating
the BOV via
custom piped hose if you still use the stock air box
though.

RE: Team3S: Back from the 3S National Gathering
Just to keep everything
in perspective, here are unofficial lap times from
Gingerman. Point I'm
trying to make is that nobody was making any lap
records, but everybody was
moving at a respectable click. Top speed I
recall noting at the end of
either of the 1/4 mile straights was only
slightly above 90 mph. People
passed me in the intructor sessions, but my
timekeeper didn't note that,
because she was primarily interested in
maintaining my ego. All of my
students were terrific! They did their
darndest to do whatever I asked,
they picked up the track layout quickly,
and they all exhibited courtesy to
other drivers. John Monnin's comment was
the best I heard - he was
frustrated because his novice students learned the
track quicker than he
did!
I don't know if there were any off-track excursions, but would like
to know.
I do know there were several black flags for mechanical problems, a
couple
of black flags for counseling and one red flag for a mechanical,
like
somebody lost a down pipe or something. I thought somebody went off at
turn
2 ahead of me, but maybe they were just so much faster that I couldn't
catch
up after they blew my doors off.

Team3S: Brake air duct mod
All,
This application is specific to
the 1st gen. Stealth. I have no way to know
how well it would work on
other apps. The ducts are 2 rubber inlets
available from
www.mcmastercarr.com (ref. part# 5398k51
$18ea.) and 2
sections of inlet hose again from McMaster Carr. (ref. part#
5502k54
$7.50/ft.) for 2 1/2dia. or (5502k55 $8/ft.) for 3dia. (all hose sold
by the
foot). For those unfamiliar, McMaster Carr is the Walmart of
industrial
supply houses. They sell eeeevvvverrrything. They used
to cater only to
companies with PO numbers, but have recently started taking
orders from
individuals over the web. Without the catalog, the only way
to know what to
order is to have the part number. The rubber inlets are
designed for 3in.
hose, but I had to use 2 1/2 to avoid wheel and ground
interference. The
rubber inlets are mounted using the existing
fasteners that hold the panels
under the chin spoiler on. I cut 2
openings in the short air deflector that
feeds air into the radiator to allow
the inlets to mount flush to the bottom
of the chin spoiler. The hose
simply turns and stops a few inches short of
the brake rotor to blow ambient
air. The rest is up to your mechanical
creativity and a handfull of
extra long zip ties. Lastly, check for
interference when the wheels are
at full lock in both directions. As in
aside, I took a 2 1/2in. hose
and held it out my truck window with the other
end inside the cab. The
air blast over 30mph was impressive so I'm
confindent that they move
air. If anyone has further questions let me know.
Hope that
helps.
Regards,
DaveT/92TT

Subject: RE:

They won't scratch the lugs since the lugs
can't rotate inside the
socket as all 6 sides are contacted by the
socket. The socket however
might scratch the wheel and that is what the
link Erik provided
prevents.
Personally, the stock chrome on mine is
chipping so badly I would prefer
if the impact socket would scrape it off for
me. =)
And you want a 21mm deep socket to be exact. Otherwise
that foot-long
breaker bar or torque bar starts to hit the wheelwell.
With a deep
socket it sets it away from the car far enough to give your
knuckles
room to not hit the car.

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.
