new setup
 

Well it has been some time since I posted, and some things have been changed on the gsx.

In the last few weeks I swapped out the stock t25 for a evo3 16g and so far am very happy with the results. so far all that is done to it is...

evo3 16g

Re: new setup
 

Nice, how much boost? 26-28psi?

Re: new setup
 

very fun numbers! always loved the spool-up of the E316g's. what are you planning to do next?

Re: new setup
 

Nice numbers and glad to hear that you're happy with it!

Re: new setup
 

Clutch... hahaha still on the stock one and is starting to slip.

Then we will see. If the head gasket goes headstuds cams and a head gasket. Other then that nothing really.

Re: new setup
 

Nice! Toss some cams in that bad boy and a fresh clutch :D

Re: new setup
 

Nice. So the whining you were talking about in first was the clutch. Lmk if you need help repalcing it. I think I've done enough clutches now.

Re: new setup
 

Sounds good man. I haven't decided if i am going to take it in for the clutch or just do it myself.

Re: new setup
 

You could always pay me. I think shops want $400-$500 for a clutch job not positive though. You could come over and help or just drop it off either way I could have it done in 4 hrs. All you need to buy is clutch disc and fluids.

Re: new setup
 

The shop wants 500 for install. Well I might take you up on that offer. I just need to pick up the clutch. I am going to go with a ACT2100 with a 6 puck sprung disk. Also I am going to replace the diff fluids as well. Ill give you a call when I get the clutch and set up a time.

Re: new setup
 

Sounds good you could also do the stage 4 comp 6 puck sprung clutch kit, save a little bit of more money. Make sure you grab an OEM throw out bearing too. Probably
save enough to even get cams! Just lmk whats up

Re: new setup
 

ACT 6 puck unsprung, if you plan on making more power down the road.

Re: new setup
 

clutchnet sprung 6puck ftw

Re: new setup
 

I vote ACT or Comp 6 puck sprung.

unsprung? for why? :rock2:

Re: new setup
 

For people who really DRIVE their cars. I take it you've never broken a spring from the sprung center?

Re: new setup
 

Sprung clutch would be fine for the power he has now. By the time down the road comes he'll need a new one anyways.

Do a sprung less chatter and better drivability IMO

Re: new setup
 

It will be a sprung one for sure. I still want good drivabilty because the car is daily driven.

tonight was the last straw. Raced a brand new 5.0 mustang and on the 3rd run clutch just let go. I can still drive it just no more pulls.

Oh, and i won by a car each time... :) I am loving this thing

Re: new setup
 

damn. nice work.

Re: new setup
 

Glad to hear your ripping it! But looks like I may see you sooner than later lol

Re: new setup
 

Nice, should be fun in that little car

Re: new setup
 

You have a million clutch options at that power level. Nice setup.

Re: new setup
 

I am looking at act clutches and when it says 415tq rating I take it that would be at the crank right?

That is what the act 2100 pressure plate with the sprung 6 puck is rated at, and with the numbers that i put down do you think it will hold on hard launches. I plan on going to the track maybe a few times this year not every weekend just a few times. s

Re: new setup
 

I don't think a 2100 is going to hold for you, a 2600 would be fine. There are some oyher options out there in between those 2 also. I started to max out my 2100 about 275WHP I would guess.

Re: new setup
 

I guess the only reason I was going to go with a 2100 is I have heard "storys" of people putting on a heavy pressure plate, and before they know it they have crank walk. Idk what the truth is behind that just want to take every precaution I can to prevent it from happening.

Re: new setup
 

He is going to run a 6-puck disc though.

Re: new setup
 

Would the 6 puck really make that much of a difference? I think I got about 2 years and 25k miles out of my 2100 with a small 16g on the car and 19psi max. Best feeling clutch I have had.

Re: new setup
 

I'll put in a vote for South Bend clutches. When I had a manual, that's all I put in. Great pedal effort, easy to drive and seemed like they held a lot of power for a reasonable price. And they're local (to me at least) so they'll always get my vote :)

Re: new setup
 

Well I must say I achieved the goal I was shooting for, and that was beating a stock c6 vette. This one being a LS3 made me very happy.

Re: new setup
 

You need to run them from a dig to make it more fair for you, since you only have 4 cylinders. :)

Re: new setup
 

Nice work.
