Aha i see! Mine gave up after 9000km haha.Rev 555 wrote:No mate I currently have the 400HP version which is fine however the 500HP can handle more torque. Its not the power that fries clutches.
Nice set up, did you experience any clutch shudder or jerkiness when you first installed?eMiL-VR6 wrote:Aha i see! Mine gave up after 9000km haha.Rev 555 wrote:No mate I currently have the 400HP version which is fine however the 500HP can handle more torque. Its not the power that fries clutches.
Now im running Sachs Performance plate and disc with LOBA's flywheel (6,8kg).
A little above 300whp and the OEM clutch was burned fast.
Lol thanks mateeMiL-VR6 wrote:Hmm.. What could this be...?

Take your car on there now and see what it drives like. Benchmark some track times then if you become a regular I would improve on suspension and handling, brakes and a set of track wheels. That will shave a few seconds off then when you are hungry for more power add the other engine go faster bits. You have enough mods to have some fun.jd5 wrote:Wow just went thru all the mods - I must say it is an awesome project. Truly remarkable!
I've got a question - since you're tracking your car, what would be the essentials one must have ? I'm on stage 2 ( tune / turbo back exhaust / intake ) , and I'm wondering if I must get a twin cooler / hpfp.
I'm also interested in the twin cooler info. Some say better to get a really performance replacement main intercooler and some say get a replacement one as well as a twin cooler. If the race cars can run over 500hp with just a performance replacement, is there any advantage or even disadvantage on having both?jd5 wrote:Wow just went thru all the mods - I must say it is an awesome project.

Apologies for my tardy reply I haven't been on the forums of late. To be honest there is no difference to performance if you get a good single set up. I have run both set ups in my previous cars and they both perform the same on the dyno and on the track. I personally like the twin cooler set up as its aggressive and brings me back to my SCOOBY STI days but its a pain in the bum to fit and requires some minor modifications. Then again two is always better then one right?Stu13R wrote:I'm also interested in the twin cooler info.
