damn clutch!

i wonder if the quad is any smoother than the twin. My twin is so grabby it's impossible to slip or drive smooth around town.

 

my twin was pretty grabby too, little nervous about the quad lol. but what ever ill figure it out XD

 

<---- me every time starting from a dead stop with the quad

 

hahaha, thats what i figured lol

 

well clutch swap ended up not working out so had to buy a new one from OS, they hooked it up with a partial sponsor and gave me a huge discount so i bought a tripple, now need to sell my twin if any1 needs a almost brand new twin plate for theyre HR build!

what was wrong with the quad?

I probably would have just stayed with the twin unless you plan on getting over 800hp.

 

It turns out that there are some pry marks to flywheel, couple bent and stripped pressure plate bolts and some damage to a couple of timing teeth, that I didn't notice before shipping.

It was all my fault and I should inspected it better.

 

i do, gonna have it at 1k to the wheels eventually so thinking ahead now. eventually wanna put in twin gt 35r's in it. but for now the gt 2871's with the .84 AR will max out the twin plate. should be making high 6xx's on pump with it and the twins only rated to 650 according to OS when i called them

 

wow, they rate them really low because there are people pushing more than that on a twin.

That sucks about the quad having problems. I wonder if at least the friction plates could have been salvaged.

 

nope they were toast, the 2 middle ones had been installed wrong and they were almost melted together

 

that sucks.

on a sidenote i wish they made an organic base friction plate to ease the drivability.

 

that would be nice, would wear pretty quick though wouldnt it?

 

faster than the metallic but being twin disk with high clamping force it would last a lot longer than other organic clutches

 

spose thats true, would be very nice XD

 

did a blind person ship it out? I mean didnt this come from overseas at a great shipping cost??? why would it even get mailed?

 

i think the shop told him it was ok and they didnt open up the pressure plate and pull the clutch plates out

 

ya but the pry bar marks, broken teeth.... no wonder why his build fail every time... He's getting more f'd than Bree Olsen

 

The clutch was working fine the last time it was on the car. I called the shop to pick the clutch up and when I got there it was already in a box, I just tightened couple of the the pressure plate bolts with my hand since they were loose. Never thought it would be this fwcked up, so I didn't opened it up. Sorry my mistake

 

Pheewww just read through that whole thing....and hopefully some more. Good to see some HR support. Sweet car btw

I think I pretty much followed along but after all of it I just have one question.
In simple terms.....what would changing cams do for a boosted engine. Would you be able to run a little more boost out of it? I thought durability of boosting and engine really come in with the bottom end....
Any input appreciated guys....
Thanks,

ty sir , bigger lobe sizing on the cams keep the valves open longer so you can get more air and exhaust out and make more power pretty much. but going with a bigger cam you sacrifice low end power but you get gains on high end
