Hey all, been awhile since I posted. Cars been running ok although still have not worked out the WOT cut off issue but now there is a new issue preventing further progress.
About 2 months ago the owner said the clutch was feeling really soft and was not returning well, bled it out and it seemed to be normal again, which on this car normal has always seemed to have a lot of play, be soft and engage almost right off the floor...
About 1 month ago he said that in 4th or 5th when boost hits the rpms revved up but the car did not accelerate, just great. Hes been babying but now it will barley accelerate and won't go above 40mph without slipping in 3rd...
Its a XTD 6 puck ceramic with a HD exedy pressure plate.
What do you think happened? Just garbage clutch disk? Pressure plate too soft?
The master and slave are new, but aftermarket, possibly junk? It has a one piece SS line from the master to the slave. Clutch pedal rod not adjusted right?
I don't want this happening again so I need to nail down what caused it.
Whats a good combo for around 350hp? Engines built for more but thats the starting goal if it will ever stay together long enough to ever dyno it...
ACT? Competition? South Bend?
Thanks
Also I think his budget is $300 at the most right now so if we cant get a decent clutch for that it will have to wait.
