Tunning With Crap Clutch

[Jeremy]

hey guys,

now before any1 gets dirty im not trying to compare and dis a brand of clutch, im just trying to compare SPECS of either model..

wat im putting up against the wall are the :

MALWOOD opt 3 clutch kit

and

Xtreme Single plate clutch kit (XFT supplies)

In my opinion I would go for the Malwood clutch, mearly beacuse I have heard that many satisfied customers including close friends.

on the other hand, I have been advised by Simon @ XFT to go for the Xtreme clutch (from his experience)

I'm really a novice on clutches, but I know simon knows his sh*t and I feel his words are not from a selling point of view, but rather from a personal and customer experience.

Can some1 explain more about the two.. once again im not trying to identify the better clutch, just trying to figure wats best for me.

After the tune my car should be around 300+rwkw... with the plan to take it up to around 400rwkw in the next 6-12 months. Keep in mind I want it for daily driving and I tend to go give it a good thrashing at least once a week

hey,

just wondering if I put a bunch of mods on my car (300rwkw worth) and get them to tune it on my stock clutch.. can they still tune it to its full potential, then say like in a week or 2 time I can get the clutch done??? or does it need a re-tune when the clutch gets put in cause it wasnt properly dyno'd wen it was slipping??

[ratter]

if the clutch is slipping it will not be able to be tuned under load.

a single plate wont hold 400rwkw but u dont need to spend thounds on a twin plate either.

You know you'll need it upgraded anyway.

If it slips on the dyno, and the tunng is incomplete, you either will have to get the tuner to sort it out for you, or take the car back home and sort it out, then take the car back for retuning.

So to avoid extra hassles and possibly longer, repeated tuning and extra costs I'd get the clutch done first.

Don't even bother tuning on the std clutch...you're wasting your time! Clutch FIRST then tune!

get a mal wood option 5. twin plate & holds 400kw

[blueboost]

by the looks of it, if you only want 300, well the little one should handle it,

just make sure( imo) you use a organic plate disc. these cars are to hevey for the others,

if you go more you will be out of its zone. and the malwood one takes over.

so it up to you in the end, to make sure your not going to do more mods down the track. (most say there not, but they end up changing there mind.
