That's a tall order. Hope you have help. I know it's easier without the oil feed but it's still a lot of work.

This is why I am glad my wife has a 350z, she knows how much of a pain it is for boost on the older engines. The only negative is she has been looking at engine swaps which I keep ignoring her requests for...:wtf2:

Yes. Going to wrap the header and part of the cat. And part of the filter..
I may go back to stage 1. Stage 1.5 has done nothing for me.

Jinxx 08-04-2017 05:52 AM

There have been guys that ran the stock clutch for their tuning. Don't expect it to last that long though.

Oh I don't expect it to .the one in my supercharged one is feeling a little weak as well ...so after tuning the turbo one I'll have to plan new clutches for both not sure which clutches are good both daily driving and holding the power

Unless you are going for serious power, I've had really good luck with my Z1 full face and lightweight flywheel. Heard good things about Southbend too.

If mine goes out I'm replacing it with Clutchmasters.

Lol what is serious power? Prolly gonna tune around 10-12 lbs not sure what whp that will be tho ... my supercharged is at 12lbs .. but the turbo will have more TQ

I'm running 510/440 at the moment but my previous tune (which had a lot more miles on the clutch than the current one) was 505/470. So it held 470wtq for awhile.

Stage 2 sc build has begun
 
Of course there's a lot of driver habits in there. I'm not hard on clutches. I've probably driven 350-400k miles (only three cars) on manual transmissions and have never burnt out a clutch.

Jinxx 08-04-2017 11:07 PM

I'm at 522 whp with 395 TQ...with the supercharger on stock clutch ...but I think it's showing it's signs of getting weak

jwick 08-04-2017 11:16 PM

The single turbo of Sasha's kit is going to come on like a freight train. It'll be a ton worse on the clutch than the SC.

tiller 04-13-2018 06:14 PM

Little 2018 update on my build, more parts have been ordered,

Jwt HD clutch & lightweight flywheel
Cmak
FI tow bar
Z1 2pc rotors

Also waiting on rotrex c38r results to see if I’ll upgrade in future.

Jinxx 04-13-2018 09:12 PM
