i just put in an act clutch and fidnaza flywheel and was wondering what is the best way to lauch the evo with this clutch?

 

For me there is only 1 way to launch a clutch, that is to just let it do its job by letting it out. The main key is to make sure your able to spin the tires enough so there is less load on the driveline.

 

Be carefull doing that , wheel spining can lead to wheel hop , wheel hop can/will lead to broken T-case . I found out the hard way

 

I want to know the same thing

 

Got bad wheel hop a week ago by dropping the clutch. (Exedy Twin Plate) at the strip. Got away w/out breaking anything this time; but I feel I "hurt" the drivleline. At deceleration I get intermittent noise that I never had before.
I do NOT recommend dropping an aftermarket clutch. Slip it just a little bit. IMO.

 

Yes do not dump a strong clutch as Evotom suggests. I advocate the slip with my Cusco twin and stay away from wheel hop. Big Daddy Don Garlitts(Audi2ptzero) is an aggresive drag racer and can drive his **** off and if i let him launch my twin disc I could almost guarantee a sub 1.7 60 ft. The thing I couldn't guarantee is driving my car home from the track as over aggresive launches on a strong clutch is flirting with disaster. Dump the stocker between 5-6 k at the track but aftermarket clutches I would slip especially the twin disc clutches. I do not have the Act clutch but go on a Dsm forum they have experience with similar Act clutch applications.

 

i think i had the same thing b4 i killed my t-case

 

Wheel hop usually happens when the tires want to grab and the suspension allows it to move up and down too much. I used to spin all 4 tires with my A4 while just making 250 wheel hp and never had any issues with wheel hp at all. Now to see what happens when I launch the car with 400 wheel hp, just have to raise the tire pressure since these tires are sticky. One problem I see alot is that some of the EVO owners put on real sticky tires and end up with too much traction and have to slip the clutch to keep the car from bogging down.

BTW it is alot of fun launching a AWD car at 6500 rpms and having it move at a 45 deg angle off the line spinning all 4 tires.

 

Hey audi...try it with a stge2+ S4! I could leave 30' of 4wd rubber with mine, but now that it is back to stock (sold parts and put a Buschur stg4 + head on the RS with the money) I can't rip the 4wd burnout anymore.

 

the noise u guys are talking about is an exedy clutch thing.. they even have a disclaimer in every new exedy clutch box warning people that there is significant gearbox noise caused by their clutch.

 

Was able to do that with the T28 kit, my new setup does not make that much bottom end tq. Right now I cant even launch my car hard because the clutch wont hold a 7k rpm launch. Today at the track I had to slip it alot during a 6k rpm launch just to put down a mid 1.8 to mid 1.9 60 ft time. New race clutch goes in this week.

 

Yeah but i still had my stock clutch

 

slipping a twin plate ceramic clutch f***s up the clutch

 

That is why its better to take some pressure off of the driveline by raising the tire pressure or using a tire that has less traction.

 

why does slipping a twin disk mess it up?
