Atm it slips from 2nd - 6th :(Going a NPC brass button ceramic clutch. Should be fun. At least it'll handle the plans I have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 16/03/10 09:02 AM Share Posted 16/03/10 09:02 AM I have never heard of those clutch's. Not that it means anything... have a Mal Wood option 3 and I'm loving it.. Threw the car on the dyno today. To see what the AFR's were like... It is running far too rich.. We backed it off as far as we could with the Xcal 3. Boosted started at 10 Psi and tapered back to 8 which is where it made the 271 Rwkw.... LOL... It has a lot of room for improvement tune wise and I really can't wait... The rear housing that I ported myself looked very stable... I may mod my original housing and sell it...

Custom built clutches for your application, never heard of one failing if driven how doug tells you to drive. When you ring up he'll ask if you're going to race it, thrash it, or just drive it and he'll build you a clutch to suit your power level and driving style. Very helpfull bloke!

bionic turbo Member 82 Member For: 16y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Gladstone Posted 17/03/10 06:23 AM Share Posted 17/03/10 06:23 AM I agree with anchor and his clutch choice, I originally had a mal wood option 3 and when it started slipping I rang NPC and told him what I do and got a really good big single clutch, never had a problem with it yet.not sure if I met you or not yet man I remember a couple of years ago a heap of boost cruising blokes came down to tannum for the day and we went for a drive around the place.carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchor Member 270 Member For: 14y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Rockhampton Posted 24/03/10 10:21 AM Share Posted 24/03/10 10:21 AM Got the clutch, looks the goods. Standard clutch plate was fine, pressure plate was screwed though. Getting flywheel machined tomorrow morning. Driveshaft is @ Jim Purcells getting freshened up. Center bearing boot is flogged out etc.Won't be at the drags, some juvenile niggers decided my ute was a good target for their rocks along yaamba rd. Now every panel has stone chips.. Gotta fork out for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
