why did you buy a new clutch?

planning on bigger turbo?

 

Mmm love the pretty purple, this is eye candy for car freaks. No but really how much was it. Im gonna need one of these for my ss/tc. I wanna ask bald turbo freak to port my stock ko4 housing and add in bigger compressor wheel thus leading me to buy a new clutch.

 

stock clutch wimpers on the trifecta tune. really wont hold until 4k. im not spending any more money on power parts until the clutch can administer the power as is

 

I'd buy it for the color alone.

 

x2!!

 

isnt that the hyper single? why do people by that thing if its only good for 350 tq??

 

it held up just fine to nitrous on the time attack cobalt, and a few other turbo LSJs pusing over 440whp and above 350wtq. Im not shooting for anything that wild, just want to be able to romp on it under 4 grand without trouble

 

prettyyyy...tommy likey

 

Man my stock clutch is holding up just fine.

 

i romp on it all the time under 4 grand and my stock clutch holds fine. its when u romp on it under 4 grand in a high gear thats the problem ( dont know why anyone would do that.) u do that and it takes a while to build boost, then all ur torque comes on all at ones in high gear and that makes ur clutch slip.
i shift proper and have no slippage what so ever. im tuned at 21 psi.

 

my stock clutch is also holding fine with my tune

 

yea my stock clutch is fine and im tuned at 22psi but for some odd reason i think i want the gms1 to delete the learn down feature...

i got my tune done by a kid in WI and the cars were still new not all the info thats out now was out then so i dunno if my tune is really at peak performance or not and then i didnt really know much about these cars.

 

Mash mine @ 3500 in 3rd and it slips . Especially when its colder than 60

 

u must have gotten one put together on a friday or monday. what is it with these cars? some people have problems with stuff, other people dont with the same stuff, some people have good clutches, others dont. hit and miss i say

 

^^lol. So, how much did you pay for the clutch man?

 

Its not a matter of monday or friday. Its how you drive. Driving normally for six months will equal to 2 months of driving beating the shnots out of ur clutch. Mine is still solid. Just waiting for it to go butter fingers so i can get a hyper single too.

 

do an ass load of hard launches, no lift shift, and run the **** out of it. thats how i got mine to slip lol

 

I tuned two LNFs, and on the dyno both had no slip when putting down 315-320 wtq.

As soon as I went above that they both got clutch slip.

One only had 6700 Km on it, so I don't think he could have done too much to the clutch.

Both cars were showing 335 to 340 wtq with the slip, so who knows how much they were actually making.

But somewhere above 320 wtq the clutches don't seem to want to hold (but I have heard of a few people who's clutches do hold the tq, so who knows).

This is what I do, and holding strong.

 

very hot man, let us know how it feels once you get it intalled!

 

I lol'd, you're such a girl...

 

I'm the 67xxkm car. I had posted my Dyno chart in another thread to show this.


To the OP: I want/need one, how much you pay?

 

When I first got trifecta, it held fine. Ambient temps were in the 80's . As temperature fell the car produced prodigious wheelspin and rpd shows clutch gives out at 320lbs. I never saw any slip on superchips. Rpd reads 315 on that tune on back to back runs. the exedy should hold at least 358 and ive never seen a number. N
ear that high pop up on the rpd (crank estimate)

 

that's the clutch I want
