ST: When do you think you're gonna have the oil issue fixed, but more so pal, head back to the dyno? You realize it's now Nov 3, 2006, and the clock is ticking! We are all waiting for you to break that magic number pal by 2006!

It's 9fiTTy1.

You forgot Eyal as well.

Tee hee, oh you!

Very nice! Is that with the new turbo?

RolexNJ

I would guess that its the old VR Pixey dust turbo, but I could be wrong.

On the old turbo would make more sense after reading the post again.

Well, I figure his new one has to be similar in size to a Gt35r because 700-750fwhp would be approximately ~610-650rwhp(figuring 15% drivetrain loss), and realistically a 35r or similar sized turbo (~61mm basically) is about the minimum you'd need to put down that much power. After all the research I've done, and from my personal experiences with various cars I was expecting 1bar by ~4k rpm with a .82 gt35r and I would expect 20+psi between the 4.2-4.5k range on my 2.5l, though I won't know for sure until I get my car running again.

Hehe, so ST, are you going to have to start gunning for CGT's and Enzo's now?! Just curious but, what kind of clutch setup are you running? Still a Spec Stg3? I'm thinking of a Spec stg4 w/ KEP pp on my setup. I really don't like the idea of a full metallic disc, so I'm avoiding the Stg5. I'm not sure what the Spec pressure plates are rated at, but KEP offers their's rated up to ~700lb/ft.

ST run a Spec? Never, ever hates them. More so since he drove my old car. And after having a Spec 3 in my car, I can say too I would never, ever get another one again too. I couldn't stand the modulation (horrible) and it used to shudder bad in 1st gear and reversee.

And here are some Spec stats for you. http://www.lindseyracing.com/Merchan...=CLUTCHSPEC951

I agree on the Specs. Tried out a buddies MR2 Turbo with a Spec clutch. It was more limp wristed than Lart in his favorite pink dress.

Wait til he reads that, he's going to rip into you and call the Canadian Mounties!

Oh he has to call some Canadians? Lart is scared of me eh?? Poor little Lart!

So what does he run then? The Sachs "cup" clutch would most certainly be a joke at his power levels, and I don't remember him ever mentioning Centerforce so I'm not sure what else he could be running (something from Blaszak perhaps?). I for one prefer a grippy, unsprung, puck style clutch as I like a very positive engagement feeling plus it makes me feel like I am driving more of a "race car". Is the "shudder" and overall harshness of the engagement the only complaints you guys have with their clutches? I've had several friends with their clutches, and after driving several various cars with them I have to say I don't mind them at all. I much prefer the "harshness" to the lame "soft" feeling of a stock style or cup clutch, though maybe I'm just a sadist.

That being said, I'd like to see someone do a multi-plate clutch setup on a 951. Does anyone know if anyone has? A Tilton twin carbon/carbon would be nice but spending several thousand on a clutch alone wouldn't be too fun. It would provide for much better modulation and would be a much more "comfortable" clutch engagement to live with. There are quite a few companies that cater more to the American car crowd, such as Mcleod, that could provide a slightly more economical custom multi-disk clutch setup. Plenty of companies out there will make a custom clutch for you, provided you give them all the necessary info.

St's setup is the KEP STG II and the six puck copper ceramic clutch

I'll stab you in the eye.

Tool, are you tearing sown the motor for inspection/replacement of bearings/rings often, or is this still same as, say a year or two ago when all your pushing the limit started?
