I'm going to have to argue that dyno results are much more satisfying than install times.

yeah my install took about a week of working about 1 hour a day after work while there was still sunlight. But until i put a clutch in my car i won't be posting any great dyno figures

ok next turbo install i'll come help.

hey sevan, what upgrades did you do and are you going to add a clutch? I've got mad speedy clutch replacement skillz if you want to break more records and knuckles.

good to know, I want to upgrade mine one of these days. A clutch rated at 200tq isn't going to cut it for much longer.

Yea i need a clutch really soon. Mine slipps after one pull its horrable. Im thinking of a lighter flywheel at the same time.

y8s 10-23-2006 03:44 PM

no sweat. it could be done in a FULL day. if you reuse the flywheel, you'll have to account for resurfacing time though.

Im thinking about a Fidanza lightweight. Could this be done in any garage or do we need a lift?

Mach929 10-23-2006 05:06 PM

i've been considering a lightweight flywheel, can't really make up my mind, fidanza is the cheapest but i've read about some issues with them so i kept on looking and just got myself more confused. now i'm not sure if i'm gonna do one.

y8s 10-23-2006 06:02 PM

four tall jackstands is all you need. and several different sized blocks of wood. and the OEM jack. and a floor jack. and wobble extensions! and and and!!

but seriously, i'm doing mine in my garage in spurts--evenings, weekends, whatever free time I find.

yeah mine spent more than a month in the air before i deemed it ready for dd use. and leak free

I did my clutch install on a lift and with a trans jack. Took about 3.5 hours. Inculuding ofcourse a fidanza flywheel and exedy stg 1. And replacing the seal in the belhousing of the transmission.

The flywheel is a bit noisy at certain rpms, but for all of us that are turbo thats just another noise. Tha flywheel in itself was the best NA mod i had done up to that point. (Intake and full exhaust)
