GSP9700 Series Vibration Control System

GSP9700 Series Vibration Control System

The GSP9700 Series Vibration Control System is a wheel balancer with the added capabilities of measuring tire/wheel Road Force, Lateral Force, and wheel runout. The GSP9700 simulates a “road test”, with a unique “load roller” which applies up to 1400 pounds of force against the rotating assembly. The roller measures the loaded runout of the assembly (deflection while under load) and automatically recommends corrections when needed. The GSP9700 technology eliminates many of the time consuming, subjective, and often non-productive manual measurements previously used to diagnose and repair ride disturbance concerns. The operation of this diagnostic tool is discussed later in this manual.

This manual provides operation instructions and information required to operate the GSP9700. Read and become familiar with the contents of this manual prior to operating the GSP9700.

The owner of the GSP9700 is solely responsible for arranging technical training. The GSP9700 is to be operated only by a qualified trained technician. Maintaining records of personnel trained is solely the responsibility of the owner and management. “References”

This manual assumes that you are already familiar with the basics of tire balancing. The first section provides the basic information needed to operate the GSP9700. The following sections contain detailed information about equipment operation and procedures. “Italics” are used to refer to specific parts of this manual that provide additional information or explanation. For example, Refer to “Equipment Components,” page 9. These references should be read for additional information to the instructions being presented.

MicroCommander 314 Actuator Installation Instructions

MicroCommander 314 Actuator Installation Instructions

The MicroCommander Control System provides single lever command of clutch and throttle from one to five remote stations. The control system operates from a 12 Volt DC negative ground power source and in a static condition draws only .4 amperes. The MicroCommander Control System will operate outboards, I/O’s and inboards, either gas or diesel powered.

The connection to the engine throttle and clutch is through standard Morse Type 33C push-pull cable (refer to the References Section).
Requirements:
• Throttle or clutch selector lever load should not exceed 40 lbs.
• The MicroCommander Control System requires a supply voltage of 11 to 16 volts DC. A low voltage can cause a control circuit reset or erratic action. For this reason avoid using a starting battery if possible. Make sure battery’s are properly charged.
• The 12 Volt DC power required is to be supplied through a 10 ampere, push button type, circuit breaker. (One for each Actuator) The circuit breaker is connected to the battery or battery isolator switch.
NOTE: The alternator MUST be connected directly to the battery or to an isolator switch that provides for an alternator field disconnect.

Acura RSX Complete Report Manual

Acura RSX Complete Report Manual

Based on the Honda Civic, the RSX enters its third year unchanged: The only significant 2004 update is the addition of heated side mirrors. Nevertheless, we still regard this small sports coupe as one of the most appealing in its class. Smoother and more refined than the old Acura Integra, the RSX is powered by either the base 2.0-liter, DOHC 16-valve aluminum four or a 200-hp edition that comes with the Type-S model. The former is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox, and a five-speed SportShift manumatic is an option. The 200-hp version is bolted to a six-speed manual with short shift throws and precise engagements. It’s the only transmission offered with the 200-hp engine. The Type-S is available with a pricey Factory Performance package that includes 17-inch wheels, slotted brake rotors, stiffer shocks and springs, and a spoiler.

Comparison Test Review: Acura RSX Type-S vs. Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged vs. Dodge SRT4 ACR vs. Saturn Ion Red Line vs. Subaru Impreza WRX

Cheap speed is like free beer or two bonus Presidents’ Days that land on successive Fridays. It’s always, always good. The only way it could be better is if you combined the beer part with, say, King Mswati III’s parade of bare-breasted maidens, held in the King’s honor annually in Swaziland, where we have never tested even one automobile. But the female members of our production team, one voting in this comparo, reminded us that rampant immaturity in grown men is a trait they do not often seek, so we let it slide, opting instead to spend one hour per night devoted exclusively to poop jokes.

This feels like maybe the 23rd installment in our series of cheap-speed comparos, but that’s okay, because we’ve made quite a prosperous little career out of repeating ourselves. For this test, we demanded that each car produce 200-or-more horsepower with a base price not to exceed $25,000. Cheap speed isn’t so cheap these days. We eventually came up with six qualified combatants, which immediately dwindled to five when Volkswagen couldn’t supply a Jetta GLI

LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System Owners Manual

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System uses a small transmitter that’s hidden in your vehicle. After police enter a stolen vehicle report in the Statewide Law Enforcement computer system, LoJack is activated and begins to send a signal that police can track using LoJack Police Tracking Computers to recover your stolen vehicle.
1. After you report your stolen vehicle to police, a signal from a radio tower activates the LoJack in your vehicle.
2. The LoJack unit emits a uniquely coded signal.
3. The Police Tracking Computer receives the coded signal coming from your vehicle. That signal quickly pinpoints the vehicle’s location and leads police to a rapid recovery – many times within a few hours.

This owner’s manual is a handy reference providing useful information about your LoJack. Please take a few minutes to read it carefully – and write down your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) – so that if thieves strike, you’re prepared. You’ll also find complete information about maintenance, your LoJack warranty, coverage areas, and more. In order to keep LoJack’s presence in your vehicle undetected by thieves, we strongly recommend that you do not store this manual or other LoJack materials in your vehicle. Also, keep your LoJack I.D. card in your wallet.

XDI User’s Manual

XDI User’s Manual

The XDI is the latest ignition system from Electromotive. This new, configurable ignition system uses a controller with one or two Direct Fire Units (DFU) to power up to 14 different engine configurations. The XDI uses Electromotive’s patented direct fire ignition and it’s high-resolution crank position sensing to produce the most accurate and most powerful ignition available in the aftermarket.

A “Direct Fire” ignition fires the spark plugs directly from the coils and not through a distributor cap and rotor. This is accomplished by using multiple coils, each with two spark terminals. The coil terminals are connected to the spark plugs, allowing one cylinder to fire on compression while its companion cylinder fires simultaneously on exhaust. Open spark gaps in the rotor and cap are eliminated, making wear and moisture problems a thing of the past.

What sets XDI apart is the ability to charge multiple ignition coils at the same time. This increased dwell time means that full spark energy is available over the entire RPM range (up to 9600 at 12 volts). Unlike Capacitive Discharge systems that only put out one very short spark, the XDI puts out a full energy, long burning spark at your highest and most critical engine speeds. Long burn times assure effective burning of even lean fuel mixtures.

The brain of the XDI includes dual digital microprocessors using patented spark algorithms (patent number RE 34,183), which takes the electrical signal from the crankshaft sensor, identifies the two missing teeth and then keeps track of the remaining 58 teeth. The XDI determines engine speed and computes the spark advance from your knob settings. Setting the timing advance curve is a simple task that anyone can understand.

In addition to synchronizing and firing the plugs at the correct advance angle, the XDI also computes the exact dwell to produce 9 amps of coil current. Coil charging is measured dynamically, so changes in RPM, battery voltage, or temperature are all accounted for on every spark. This corrects any errors that are caused by battery voltage or coil temperature changes and insures maximum spark energy.

Automatic Transmission Fluid

Automatic Transmission Fluid

The next time you check the fluid level in an automatic, sniff the fluid on the end of the dip stick. If it smells like burned toast and/or has a discolored brown appearance, the fluid has cooked itself and is no longer capable of providing proper lubrication to the transmission. If you’re lucky, you may have caught the problem before serious damage has been done — but more often than not by the time the fried fluid is discovered, the transmission is also toast.

Compared to motor oil, ATF has live pretty easy. There’s no soot, gasoline or condensation from combustion blowby to contaminate the fluid. The only physical contaminants the fluid must deal with are particles that wear off the friction plates, gears and bearings inside the transmission. Most transmissions have some type of internal filter to keep the fluid clean. Some do a pretty good job, but others don’t. Most Asian transmissions only have a plastic or metal strainer that can only trap the larger pieces of debris. The rest circulates with the fluid and accelerates wear. Changing the fluid is the only way to get rid of these contaminants.

Heat is the main concern for ATF. Automatic transmissions create a lot of friction, and friction produces heat. The fluid is constantly churning inside the torque converter and being pumped through metering orifices and hydraulic circuits. Every time the transmission shifts gears, the clutch packs generate even more heat that must be carried away by the fluid. The greater the load on the transmission, the more heat it generates and the hotter the fluid gets. Most ATF can withstand normal operating temperatures of around 200 degrees F for tens of thousands of miles. But if the temperature of the fluid rises above 220 degrees F the fluid starts to break down quickly. Above 300 degrees, fluid life is measured in hundreds, not thousands of miles. And above 400 degrees, the fluid can self- destruct in 20 to 30 minutes!

ATF contains ingredients to improve its oxidation stability as well as other additives to reduce foaming and inhibit corrosion. Over time, the protective additives can also break down causing the fluid’s lubrication properties and viscosity to change for the worse. That’s why fluid breakdown is the leading cause of transmission operating problems and failure. Most experts still recommend changing the fluid and filter every 2 to 3 years or 24,000 to 36,000 miles — or once a year or every 15,000 miles if a vehicle is used for towing or other severe service use.

DownForce – DFR Diffuser OEM User’s Guide

DownForce – DFR Diffuser OEM User’s Guide

The DFR Diffuser was modeled after the 2003 NSX-R debut launch at the Tokyo Auto Show by Honda. The NSX-R displayed was a pre-production version of the NSX-R. It was featured with exposed carbon fiber hood, spoiler, and a full sized carbon diffuser. Since the diffuser never made into production, it is known as the prototype NSX-R.

The DFR diffuser is mounted using original mounting points and requires no drilling on the car. Installation is rated at 20 minutes for the average person. You can ensure a speedy installation by reading through this install guide before you begin work. The diffuser features two detachable fins in the center. In case of damages, the fins are readily replaceable. The diffuser is designed as an airfoil to guide low pressure (high velocity) air flow. Without any guide, the high speed air would flutter uncontrollably to an exit and create unnecessary drag on the car. This constant drain on the physical car would result in lower fuel efficiency, instability at high speeds and increased parasitic drag reducing power output.

Sharpness of the Acura TL

Sharpness of the Acura TL

Superseding the Acura Vigor in 1996, the Acura TL is a midsize entry-level luxury car. It is manufactured and sold under the Acura brand, which is under the automobile manufacturer, Honda. It has become quite popular in its own way and received a name for itself as the best selling luxury sedan, after selling more than 79,000 units in 2004.

In 1998, Honda introduced the Acura TL-X concept car. It featured a preview of the second generation of TLs that would make its public entrance after a year. This second generation TL is now called as the 3.2 TL. It has a newly-designed 3.2 liter 225 HP SOHC VTEC J32 V6 along with a four-speed electronic automatic transmission with SportShift. The only option given to this vehicle was a hard drive based navigation system. Changes continued to roll in for the Acura TL as the years went on. This vehicle sported changes like a five speed automatic transmission with SportShift, that gave way for a slightly better fuel economy and acceleration. Other changes included the addition of side impact airbags for the front passengers and a change of format in its navigation system.

Also done in were a DVD based navigation system where a driver could theoretically drive from one coast to another with this new navigation system installed. The system had stored the maps in zones and there were five different zones for the United States. The vehicle also sported a new façade with its redesigned tail lights, a great-looking and beveled front, and a wide, yet powerful stance. The gutter at the beltline of the vehicle sported a tough, extruded shape that could make one recall the blade of a hunting knife. Also added were an in-dash CD changer, firmer seats and suspension for the year 2002.

Come the 3rd generation Acura TL, it became the first car in the U.S. market to have a six disc DVD-Audio system which had an output through an 8-speaker system. This system was engineered by Panasonic, and it also plays back normal audio CDs along with DTS audio discs, CD-audio, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. It also has a Bluetooth HandsFree Link, or HFL, system that is integrated with the audio system itself and this HFL system allows drivers to use their cellular phones hands-free. By simply voice-dialing the number that they need to contact, drivers can have the entire conversation over the Acura TL’s built-in audio system.

The Acura TL makes drivers feel great when they are behind the wheel for Honda has certainly kept in mind to consider ergonomics. With the Acura TL, the driving position feels perfectly natural. The controls carry the feel as if they belong in a performance car. It also has notably short-stroke brake pedals that lets drivers modulate the new four-piston Brembo front brakes with a precision that could be considered as complete.Acura car parts.

Tire Pressure Gauges

Tire Pressure Gauges

MOTORCYCLE TIRE PRESSURES are critically important since the small patch where your tire meets the road means everything to staying upright. The tire and inflation pressures you choose are largely responsible for your bike’s handling and are also a key safety factor. Improperly inflated tires can blowout and cause you to lose control and will also impact gas mileage and tire lifespan.

Experts recommend checking tire pressure before every ride. But when you check, are you sure what the gauge tells you is accurate? What if your gauge is wrong? Does your gauge fit tightly to the valve stem? Can you read it clearly? Has it suffered a crippling blow in your tool box? Most of us have several gauges around the garage. Which one do you trust and why? In research for this article, we found confusion even among those we expected to be tire pressure experts.

Cherished Beliefs
Even tire techs from Sears Tire Centers, Goodyear and Michelin tire stores have questionable prac- tices for selecting gauges. We found the most common practice was to try a number of gauges, pick one that felt consistent and easy to use, and then use it nearly exclusively. With the exception of the Dunlop and Metzeler tents at Americade, no tire dealers interviewed had a way to calibrate or test the accuracy of their gauges.

Some motorcycle enthusiasts believe that the more money you spend on a pressure gauge, the better and more accurate it will be. Others believe “digital tire gauges are for limp-wristed technology trusters and real men use analog gauges.” Some think gauges made in Germany or Switzerland are more accurate than gauges made in China. Are any of these beliefs based on fact?

2002 Towing Guide

For 2002 there are even more new models, not to mention a multitude of new technologies sure to find favor with RVers. To help simplify things, we have combined some columns, such as conventional/fifth-wheel tow ratings and manual/automatic tow ratings. This not only helps shorten the guide, it makes it easier for you to make direct comparisons between truck/trailer setups with respect to their maximum tow capacities. In addition, you’ll note that we have excluded passenger car tow ratings from this year’s list (since precious few are rated to tow more than 2,000 pounds), as well as some less-popular vehicle models.

These vehicles will be included in the complete TL tow rating booklet, available separately. And as usual, vehicles capable of towing under 2,000 pounds will be excluded from both guides. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of all ratings, but because our information is often preliminary at the time of publication, some numbers may have changed by the time you visit your dealer’s showroom. When in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s towing guide (available at your dealership) or the vehicle owner’s manual to be certain.

Time-Based Progressive Nitrous Controller Installation Instructions

Time-Based Progressive Nitrous Controller Installation Instructions

Your NOS Progressive Nitrous Oxide Injection Controller is designed to provide you with an ability to “adjust” the rate at which power from your nitrous oxide injection kit is applied to your vehicle. This controller is capable of operating any NOS nitrous system that features the nitrous and fuel solenoids with a maximum combined current draw of 40 amps, not including safety solenoids. Note that the highest current draw of any standard single stage NOS system is approximately 23-30 amps (NOS Pro Fogger P/N 02462NOS).

Initial power (solenoid duty cycle) is adjustable from 0-100%. The rate at which the solenoid duty cycle is increased (power increased) is adjustable from 0-10 seconds. Maximum power is adjusted through jetting changes, similar to a conventional nitrous oxide injection system.

The time-based progressive nitrous controller is applicable to a variety of vehicles using the NOS nitrous oxide injection kits. The basic controller and operating principle is the same for your vehicle regardless of whether it is carbureted or equipped with electronic fuel injection. However, the mounting hardware necessary for a safe installation varies with application. Listed below are the three types of nitrous oxide injection kits produced by NOS, and the application kits necessary for a proper installation.

The fix involves removing the front damper/spring assembly, grinding off body spot weld burrs and refinishing the surface, and/or installing self adhesive shims (Acura P/N 75826-634-300, H/C 0701896) three per side, to the damper mounting base.

Applies To:
2001 MDX - ALL
2002 MDX - From VIN 2HNYD1…2H500001 thru 2HNYD1…2H543293

Diagnosis
With the hood open and the vehicle parked, rock the vehicle from side to side, and listen for a creaking or ticking noise coming from the front damper area. Test-drive the vehicle as needed. If a creaking or ticking noise comes from the dashboard or front damper area, perform the repair procedure.

Repair Procedure
(Review safety procedures in the ALLDATA ® system before beginning) 2002 MDX: From VIN 2HNYD1…2H523466 thru 2HNYD1…2H532574
1. Remove the appropriate front damper/spring assembly.
2. While wearing eye protection, use an angle grinder with sandpaper to remove any spot weld burrs that are raised above the surface of the damper mounting area.

Be sure to test the heaters to make sure they work properly before going to the trouble of installing them. I just connected them to my battery terminals to do a quick test. This should only take a couple minutes and is a worthwhile precaution. Additionally, I would recommend getting some upholstery hog rings and hog pliers. These can be purchased as a package from JCWhitney for about $4-5.
