4agte clutch, whats everyone using? (fwd)

[~SlideWays~]

Hey,

I'm asking this because I've just forked out for a new lsd gearbox and also a linkplus ecu to get the most out of my setup.

This will be for my fwd 4agte (ex-gze).

- First of all, has anyone found the limits of the std clutch?

- Second of all, what are people upgrading to?

I've got a gze flywheel and pressure plate in my ae86 aswell. I had the pressure plate tested (1200ish pounds) and then modified/tested again with a good increase (over 1800). This setup is using a std friction plate but has had the thin 'wafer' removed, which is sandwiched between the 2 sides (this was to make more room due to pressure plate modification).

This clutch setup has worked well with the rwd 4agze but the fwd turbo setup will be making much more hp/torque so don't know whether this will work again, so im looking into options.

Did that make sense!?

i got one of these on my silvertop, would fully recommend it, it bites quite nicely. however can shudder quite badly in traffic if youre not careful

Powerful FWD's just tend to bake tyres, so a reasonably solid clutch in RWD format ought to be fine in FWD.

I run a solid centre puk clutch and an uprated pressure plate (1900lbs ish). Its slightly tricky when your stop start driving, appart from that its fine. Handles the power no problem so far. I'd just stick with the ze fly and the setup your running, should handle no problems.

yip im running the same
mine has lasted two yrs now, only just replaced it
man that clutch took a beating

the only trouble i had was with reversing up a hill, shuddered heaps then
you would be save with this set up
$400 i think from memory and to reline and skim everything about $200

haha top marks for tht man
im running a hevy duty stndard clutch cause if ur drivin in auckland traffic , u need to be able to slip it , and it will be more than sufficent .

I ran a normal clutch plate and a heavy heavy duty press plate on my last car, that was real nice to drive on the road and was real bity when u changed through the gears.
New car im running a 4 puk with a Heavy duty TRD pres plate, and its not nice to drive in traffic as you dont wana slip the clutch and it shuders heaps.

Cool thanks guys, looks like my old setup might work for this one too.

Bazda: out of interest have you dyno'd your new bling engine yet?

dyno will be this week at shore performance, which isnt good to compare dyno results with others on here as it reads way lower than most. Just using this one cos we know the guy and just want it for tuning.

He read way higher last time I used him, have they finally sorted out the calibration?

[bluemaumau]

make sure you psot it up any way, did you get your 1600 dynod there, if so itll be good to see the difference

yea few months ago he got a new program and it read sky high!!!! like a 200hp escort at the fly, ran like 180kws LOL.

He got it all sorted now, and yea my old car with the t25g ran 130kws.
