My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

So, as some of you may know, a while ago I picked up a 92 Stealth TT for cheap. (thanks Joe M)

I put the tranny back in with a new clutch and output shaft, and had a running driving TT. It has higher miles (~142K now) but the body's not bad, it was mostly re-done after hitting a deer (before I got it) I put a bit over 6,000 miles on it, and took it to two road course events. Well, one and 1/8th road course events. The first was Mid America Motorplex. It had overheating issues and I had to take it easy. Next up was Road America. For those of you that don't know, Road America (RA) is a 4.x(2?) mile road course that's over in eastern Wisconsin. I got about 5 laps in and then... This \/ \/ \/ happened.

Needless to say the car was towed home. The biggest disappointment was I missed out on A LOT of track time. :drive1: I had installed a Koyo radiator and wired my fans full on for RA. I put the boost at waistgate pressure, just to be sure it didn't have any issues. I took 3 laps to make it to operating temp. 200 HP. I did pass a C5 with an owner that was driving conservatively, and hit at least 135 MPH 2-3 times per lap. I'm pretty sure the crank got broken as an after the fact thing. At the track, there was a hole in the block, as it made a nice puddle of oil where I parked to get towed off track. The motor still ran when I got it home, not making much noise, but with a bad vibration (no piston/rod). I started it to drive it to it's parking spot (no one to help push) and then it made a clunk and never turned over again.

So, instead of partying it up on new years I spent my time putting this in.

And my car's back to a running state. Yay!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Congrats man.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

First off holy shit on those carnage pictures.

Secondly that is awesome that you got your car back together and running. What all did you put in yours? It looks really nice.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

sorry to hear about that but at least that beast is back on the road!!! :]

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

That is the most insane carnage I've ever seen.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Tuna fish, nothing else.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Just a broken crank. It's the weak one anyway. 91-92 came with 2 bolt main blocks and cast cranks. 93+ (TT only) got 4 bolt mains and forged cranks. The motor I put in is a 4 bolt.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Gratz Ryan! That looks purdy!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Woah there tiger, those turbos are certainly not stock. What be they?

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Awesome, dude! Just the other day I was wondering what plans you had for your 3/S, glad to hear it's back up and running.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

I didn't think anybody on here would know the difference. They are TD04L 19T's. They start of as 13T's from a Subaru WRX. Not sure what I'm going to do with them at this point, but my 9B's were about dead, in-out shaft play. I had these so I put them on. This it the first time I have owned a turbo car with upgraded turbo's. The clutch I put in is a stock replacement from SBC, I'll just turn it up till that gives up and call it a day. I don't want to spend all my time on this car, I have a 93 RT TT I want to get going. That one will be a bit more intresting.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Glad its back together :)

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Why not tell us then? That's a pretty cool but how much power do they put down? Are the comparable to a 14b or something much bigger?

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Nice man, congrats on getting it up and going. I assume it's probably not for sale anymore? This is the one you had for sale awhile back right?

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Yeah, this is the one. Everything's for sale, for the right price. With everything it's got on it now I'd want a lot more. 6000ish, probably a little less. That's off the top of my head, but that's the "You can have it if you make if worth it to me" price.

As far as the turbo's, it really depends on the rest of the setup. I'm not trying to get all I can out of them, I'm looking to get 300-350. That should be at the limit of the mild clutch. They should be able to do ~400.


It would be better if I had the upgraded exhaust wheel. Mine have stock WRX exhaust wheels. Stock for a 3S is TD04. The WRX's are TD04L, they arn't much bigger. TD04HL is a lot bigger (about 1/4"). TD04HL 19T's have done 550 AWHP on race and 513 on pump with heads and cams. But that's on a DD where the used the X key, so not quite that much for those of us around here. About 430-450 on pump with heads and cams, 475+/- on race with out H/C. Both those # are from the same guy.

As far as not telling you, I was going to eventualy.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Glad to hear you have it back on the road!!

later,
Curt

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Glad its back up and running! Keep us updated on power and such!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Yaya, post up some power graphs whenever you get some dyno time with that thing.

I assume the X key on a DD adjusts the correction factor?

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

In the bar screen you hit the X key on the keyboard and there is a correction factor you can type in. Normaly this is 1.000 but you can take power away or add as much as 3.000. This will change the power and torque reading in the bar screen and the graph screen. Or if you load up a graph from any car you can add or take power away. If the dyno run was done with the correction in place it would show up in the Snap shot file. If you type in 1.130 if would add 13% HP and Trq in the graph screen and the bar screen. The way Dyno Dynamics intended people to display more power then the car was making was with Shoot out mode, this would give a more "real world" number.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Nm.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Well, that's awesome, Ryan! The one time I remember seeing this car was under the balcony or whatever in your backyard, lol. It was a sorry sight. We can drag against each other this summer, maybe! :)

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

This car was never in my back yard. That's my other one. That still doesn't run.

Oh, and it did 200 HP on the first pull, 7 PSI, with some tuning to be done at that boost level.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

way to go Ryan

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

It probably would have been a bit further along but I ran into a wired electrical issue. The car would die sometimes or not start. (crank but not fire) I think I took care of it though, the ECU ground went to a metal piece for the center council, but for some reason that piece wasn’t bolted to the chassis. Probably the same reason the car didn't come with a radio. The hardest problems to fix are the ones that don't stay broken.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Well it got some tuning last night. After a tweak or two it made 220HP at 7 PSI. After turning the boost up it made 322 AWHP, 338 AWTQ. At 14 PSI.

Stock MAS
Stock intake pipes
Stock IC piping
Stock IC's
Stock Cat back
Stock Motor
K&N
Down pipe
19T's
880's
AEM
South Bend Rally clutch
Koyo Radiator


Some of that stock stuff is causing a bit of restriction. I will probably be upgrading some of that stuff so I can get a bit more out of it. Oh, and I doubt the 5 month old gas I bought in BFE Wisconsin was all that great either (it was BP though). At this point the car is mostly a conglomeration of parts I had picked up with other plans. (AEM, 880's 19t's).

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Looking good buddy, i will have to tag along with you to some of these RR events.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Awesome! Post up the dyno chart when you get time. Having those parts in your DD will be more fun IMHO, that way you will actually get to use them and use them often! Looks like a fun ride and 320whp is a nice number for the street! :)

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Nice numbers!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Well this isn't my DD, but it maybe, if I can get the fuel economy up a little from what is used to be (20 mpg, bad O2's fuel trims at 132%). Last summer I just drove it on weekends and a for a few weeks after I got it. I really don't know if I really want a car this fast for DD'ing, to easy to get into trouble. Maybe I just need to get used to it again. I do plan on doing some intake pipes, and then something for better intercooling. Then turn it up a bit more. And maybe a cat back after that. I like it quiet, it's more enjoyable that way. I'll post up a graph later today if I have time.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

So, I had a small electrical issue to fix with the fuel pump, and after fixing that neede to dial the AFR back in. New numbers.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Not bad for a nice DD! Why the lag?

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

The turbo's are a bit restricted right now, but I don't expect it to get a whole ton better. They are capable of much more than I am getting out of them right now. Biggest issue right now is all the other stock parts. Like everything but the down pipe and K&N. This power level is attainable with stock turbo's and additional fuel.

I plan to get a FMIC and individual intake pipes as the next mods. The IC being the most important! Last time on the dyno intake temps were hitting ~150f. That may not sound too bad, but it was ~45 degrees in the shop, imagine summer. Stock IC's FTL. Some people upgrade to DSM SMIC's that have been modified to fit. I think that's a waist of time DSM SMIC's belong in DSM'er junk piles.

It could also have a boost leak, but since I will be doing a FMIC, I don't plan on testing it.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

Ahh, I missed the upgraded turbo's. You should see some nice improvements with you next mods. Looks good!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

I drove it to work today. The way home was fun, sideways every chance I got (within reason, not going to endanger other people just for some fun). And now I really need to get to those other mods, cause I'm used to it.

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

You can probably get used to just about anything. Don't blow 'er up!

Re: My Stealth TT, dealth, then revived
 

I won't try, but what happens happens. And as far as getting used to it, yeah.
