I'm almost there .....
 
At last!

I have been running around with my basic setup with only a little boost (only 5psi) as I was chewing thru the std clutch but had to wait for some more $$$ before moving forward.

But this afternoon the new clutch is in (along with new timing belt, water pump etc etc) and its off for a dyno tune and 12psi :) :) :)

Im hoping to hit 230 rwhp.

Of course - its pissing down with rain so no chance to go for a play - bugger!

Ill keep you posted on the final figures

Let me know where your injector duty cycles end up with the 460s at 230rwhp. I'm trying to decide whether I need to ditch them and do 550s if I want to shoot for 250rwhp on 100 octane.

You made it sound like you just got the clutch in today and you're going out to tear up the streets/dyno. I hope you broke in the clutch...

breakin in clutches is for pussies.

Not everyone drives through the red light district on their way home man.

miatamad 04-30-2007 10:34 PM

ummm - how they hell do I break in a clutch?

SamS 04-30-2007 10:38 PM

I believe the general rule is don't shock it (no drag launches or hard shifting, basically drive it nice and easy) for 500 miles or so.

cjernigan 04-30-2007 11:45 PM

^ Ditto.
Most say 500 miles of stop and go driving for organic clutches, 1000 for kevlar. Then some say breaking them in is unnecessary. I suggest proper break-in.

Indeed, when my friend put a new clutch in his KA24de the first thing he did was see if it would spin the tires shifting into 2nd, it even chirped going into 3rd on stock ka:sadwavey:

Indeed it is - thanks!!! Some small changes required for the water feeds - but generally its been plug and go (fast!!!!).

Hope that the new job is still going well for you (although I guess not that new now)
