New clutch is in and the boost can finally be used!
 

So I have been boosted for about 2 months now and havent been able to really get on it yet for many different reasons. First was not being tuned then was the fuel pump leaning out then I got a new fuel pump and retuned and the clutch started slipping really badly. I had not pushed it to redline since I started boosting until yesterday. I put a ACT HD pressure plate and a 6 puck race disc inyesterday (that was quite a project btw) and the thing is insane! Im making 229 whp on about 9 psi in my b16 and I actually barked the tires in 4th gear at about 85mphwith this new clutch!

This might be more of a tans/diff post but the clutch was only installed because of the turbo and it really brought the turbo to life so I thought I would post here. Heres a few pics from the install yesterday and I will have to try and get some vids up soon too.

6 puck race disc that I was going to sell for fear it would be too harshbut Iwent ahead and used it and Imglad I did.

good work....yea i bet that clutch install really was a pain. is your car a dd? and is that clutch stiff or feel ok?

RE: New clutch is in and the boost can finally be used!
 

Yeah the install was pretty rough. It didnt help that I live in florida and we were working outside so it was just under 100*f. Yeah my car is a dd but for such a strong clutch the pedal effort is really not bad at all. The engagement is alot lower that the stock clutch. The only downfall is that its a little chattery in 1st gear. Other than that I absolutely love it.

a new clutch will really show you what your other clutch was slipping on a boosted car. glad everything went well

how long did it end up taking to do the whole install?

RE: New clutch is in and the boost can finally be used!
 

Well if it wasnt so hot outside and I knew what I was doing a little better it probably could have been done in 4-6 hours but it took me about 8. I actually had to stop working cause I thought I was going to throw up from the heat and dehydration. Gotta love florida!

Whats the break in period/procedure for that bad boy?

RE: New clutch is in and the boost can finally be used!
 

as many burnouts as possible.:D

RE: New clutch is in and the boost can finally be used!
 

Actually the proper break in is babying it for 400 miles.

Puck clutches are a beat the **** out of it from day 1 clutch.

Organic clutches are babied for 400 miles.
