Hi After making some modes to ma EVO 8:
Custom exhaust, Megan racing manifold, HKS sparkplugs and GReddy PRofec B-Spec II Boost Controller (recommended by my local tuner and I’m not sure that is the best choice but.....). Btw it shows 290 whp. on the Dyno and I don’t know if this is a good result for this modes because here in Sofia (the city I leave in Bulgaria) there are only 3 Evo 8 and only mine is tuned!
After few days with the new modes (and some aggressive driving) my cutch began to slip a little when the boost comes on in a range of about 2800-3100 rpm.
Did somebody have the same problem like mine????
Now I am not sure what to do? Is it better to buy a new stronger clutch disk or to buy a new aftermarket clutch?
Thank you for the help in advance

P.S. It have only 9000km. (3500miles)

 

Join the club and buy a new clutch buddy... That's the free extra option you get when you buy and EVO... a p.o.s. clutch... you can thank Mitsubishi for that one... I do feel you pain, I went through the same thing.

 

What kind of driving were you doing before it started to slip? Did you launch it alot?

 

Yea 5 or 6 times but no very brutal!!! But after the launches there ware no problems they appeared the next day (I drove the same day all night without problems).

 

-Buy an Exedy twin.
-Learn to drive again.
-Be happy you get to tell your countrymen "Hey I'm the first guy to toast the clutch on the Evo" :P

 

Boys what you think about this ????? http://www.hopupracing.com/rmr6pucldimi.html

 

Exedy twin NICE But not enough cash!!! I have to buy the clutch from my money or otherwise I have to tell to my father:
-“Father father I need 1500 bugs 4 the clutch because I’m driving like an Idiot”, not a good idea 

 

hah. yeah that wouldn't go over well. i wouldn't recommend putting a "puck" clutch or discs in an awd car. but there are many other good and cheaper alternatives out there. look into getting an ACT clutch. around 500 bucks and a lot of people like them in their evo. i have them in two of my 1g dsm's and i have never had a problem. good luck.

 

Well for the cost you pay for labor to install the clutch, you might as well pay more and buy an ACT clutch.

 

i got 20k miles on my clutch and does not slip at all when rolling. It heats up bad off the line. Will be getting an ACT soon!!!!! It will get worse now that i installed DP and 02 housing

 

Go buy an ACT HDSS.

 

ACT is the way to go for what you have done

 

Thanks everyone )) I will order an ACT Thanks again

 

I would not go with a ACT. I have one and it's impossible to shift fast above 6500 RPMS

 

What is your advise then ??????
