Clutch
Turbo Mini Forums

Went down the road in it today to see if it run at 15psi, and the clutch is sliping. Its a new clutch and got it with my engine off med. It was already bolted to the flywheel, but could i have fitted it wrong? Or is it the fact that clutch isn't good enough for 15psi and have destored it?

Is it worth taking it on the rollers with a clutch sliping bearing in mind only on high boost??

What clutch is it?

And be very careful running it at 15psi without it having been setup. If it runs lean at that boost you are very likely to really fuck something up. In fact I personally wouldn't run any boost at all until it was set up let alone 15psi.

What clutch is it?

Also, I'm not sure how wise it is to turn the boost up to 15psi before it's been set up properly.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

i know but just wanted to it right on the boost gauge only one go not done more than once. Its a MED turbo clutch all i no

so would be alright setting it with a clutch like that

One go at 15psi is enough to fuck up your engine, bear this in mind.

Going to the rollers with a slipping clutch is a waste of time really.

As everyone else said for fuck sake don't run it on 15psi if its not set up.

is it a verto or pre verto set up?

MED turbo setup is verto I believe. Yes, it'll slip at this boost, but it'll also stop you breaking your transmission - so in a way, that is good!

Isn't it?

smoke the clutch still drives the car thou lol. Not much luck. So we're thinking dont have it tuned and new clutch lol.

Good clutch for that sort of boost?

Pre verto with grey diagphram and rally clutch plate!

the verto is not up to the job........

Edited by BENROSS on 25th Apr, 2008.

Either fit a new clutch and then have it tuned, or otherwise have it set up at a lower boost level that the clutch can hold, and then later on fit a new clutch and have it tuned again at the higher boost level.

Someone scare me now then :( , what we looking at changing to put in the earlier cluch? New flywheel, starter motor, do i need different clutch housing? I need clutch plates? grey diagphram no idea what that is!

Anyone got a guess a cost on that?

You don't need a new starter as you can select the ring gear on the flywheel when you buy it.

if you want the engine to spin up quickley ................

these parts are from minispares north

ultralight flywheel
ultralight backplate
AP Race plate
grey diaphram
get 9 driving straps
and the bolts for these
also the bolts and washers for the grey diaphram
also the A series crank bolt locking tab and flywheel to crank locking plate

ask fo richard he will give you the whole cabudle tell him what you want and its there the next day if you order in the morning

oh dont for get to machine 1.5mm off the back plate lugs as per turbo daves mod do a search on that

let us know how you go on

A lot to take on board all this so basicly my flywheel cant be used?

Not sure what this diaphram is?
Driving straps?

Main thing 2 things i want to no is what happens to the way the clutch works ie the hydrolic set up is all that different?

and the clutch housing does have to be changed.

basicly can you do it all in the car?

http://www.Zeemax.com

Yes you can do it in the car, and yes you can keep the same flywheel housings, the hydraulic system is the same, but the arm the slave cylinder acts on will need to be changed. You will need a different flywheel.

Do a search about it as this has been covered in depth lots of times and all the info is there.

im sure i kept my verto slave cylinder on when i changed from a verto set up to a pre-verto set up and it seems works fine

My build thread..

I've got a spare pre-verto slave if you need it.

http://www.Zeemax.com
