i dynoed at 290h/315t, and my issue one the dyno was that my clutch began to slip, i notice when i hit it on the highway there is a second delay then the rpm jumps by 1000. im wondering if that is failure or just the fact that it is too much power. that dyno was with a gaint slip between 3200, 3700. just wanted to get some opinions,

this is besides the point but shelton mitsubishi in ct is bull****, i was just wondering if anyone has a problem with 4th syncro despite not shifting hard in that gear... they services manager at shelton wants me to sign something that says if it looks like its abused he will make me pay for the labor... should i agree to it or take it elsewhere? has anyone had any experience with it? thanks again

 

time to get a new clutch, I suggest a twin carbon disk

 

that is usually one of the first signs of slippage. You will also notice you need to take the clutch out further and further to engage. once the disk is gone you will not be able to engage at all and then you start breaking stuff. time to start saving

 

of course thats one ^^ of the most expensive ones to buy

 

How many miles do you have on your car. The stock clutch should be able to handle 310 torque, but if your mileage is getting up towards 20-30k, it was probably about time for a new clutch anyway. I have an ACT HDSS with a lightweight flywheel and I really like it. If you change it, I strongly recommend removing the restrictor in the clutch slave cylinder... but if you have to do 7k rpm clutch dumps, leave it in... or you will blow your TC or tranny.

 

you need to launch right, it's not too much power.

get act.

 

pffft ... forget the ACT .... exedy twin disk, that's what i did... it's not worth paying for the labor twice, ... the labor for a clutch is sooooo much

that's why i went ahead with the tiwn disk... plus... it will take ANYTHING i throw at it... lol .. not the t-case ... that's another story =D

 

ACT grabs as much as or more than exedy twin clutch.

Unless you have over 500whp, wouldn't see why you need a twin clutch that's hard to use on traffic.

 

+1

 

with a slipping clutch i got the 290 the stock clutch cant take heavy accel on full boost... i think, whats the best clutch kit for around $500? how long does self install take, do you recommend it for a novice? dead broke right now

 

dead broke with an Evo, no clutch, because you're paying rent, car payment and insurance?

don't self install. That's all I could tell you. I got act, they cost $480. install costs around $500 or more.

good luck.

oh exedy twin disc costs how much now? yeh...

 

^^^ lol

 

from what iv been reading exedy dont hold as much torque and start to slip sometimes after 6,000 miles... yet iv read mostly good things about act... i am talking about the clutches bet $450 - $600... im 19 go to college part time, work full time, pay for the evo myself, pay for the $3000 insurance, and a high maintinance girlfriend... so thats why im broke

 

"pay for the $3000 insurance, and a high maintinance girlfriend"

well, you have to get rid of one or the other. It'll make your life 10 times better.

 

or get a third job
