if you know what your doing you can make your stock clutch last much longer than if you keep dumping it at 6k. i can launch off the stock launch limiter(only done it twice with this car so far)with a nice smooth launch with no clutch smell whatsoever.Its all in your technique at the track and how you drive on the street(everyday driving) that will determine how long your clutch lasts. Knowone can give you an estimate on how long a part will last, it all depends on the driver. BTW IMO nothing beats the stock clutch in an evo,IMO.

 

im not saying ill have nothing to do with it but i mean just on average

 

Argh, I wish there was an emoticon for banging my head against the wall. You keep asking us questions that no one can answer. If you pay any attention to this forum, you see that our clutches are the weak link in the drivetrain, and that is on purpose to protect the expensive transmission parts. Some people's stock clutch goes out at 7500 miles while others go out at 95k miles. There is no average, but don't be surprised if yours is gone in the next 10k.

 

whe warrtalon posted the $$$$ after the ecuteck flash isnt it only 150 more than the techtom

 

A base flash from Dynoflash (TechTom-based) is $200. An EcuTek is $650 minimum due to the license. A custom tuned Dynoflash is $375.

 

I was going to go to turbo trix not for any particular reason cause i understand they are both good but just because a friend has experience with them

 

Mmmm, ok.

Thus Spaketh Warrtalon lawl. College def told me no more mods

 

For one thing the Evo isn't a "drag" car. If you want to use the Evo what it was REALLY intended for you'd take it to the road course and autox'ing.
If you prefer drag racing and cheap upkeep you should really look into something else.
My stock clutch with the restrictor pill and stock line lasted for around 25,000 miles...and 2.5 years of racing..mostly autox'ing. At every autox I'd get 4-6 runs and I launch at 5500-6000 rpm. What really put a hurting on my clutch was taking it to the drag strip where you will generally get much better grip due to the vht prepped surface.
Now I have an Exedy twin disc

 

I have over 100 drag passes on my stock clutch, most were mid-low 12's..I am impressed with it and I think I will replace it with another stock clutch, call me crazy..

 

i guess i cant drive to well because i only got 20 k out of my stock clutch, but it makes sense since this was my first awd car and i practice launching all the time with my stock clutch .

 

I got 40k out of my stock clutch and I replaced it more out of want than need. There was still life left in it. But I NEVER launched my car...I prefer the road course and autocross.
