Cant wait , so excited for this season to get here!

Joepro · 02-09-2014, 03:25 PM

Me too...hopefully I'll be able to start this build before the end of the month and before I go stir crazy from this winter.

Well I was hoping my stock clutch would last a little while since I only had 13k on it but it doesn't look like that's the case. We had temperatures up in the 60s yesterday so I was able to get a little more traction than usual. Felt like the clutch was slipping a little in 3rd and 4th gear. Time to contact specialty Z. I was hoping to do the install myself this summer after I get my lift installed. might try to limp it along until then. It still pulls hard. Just starts slipping when going wot in the higher gears.

Not shocked. Well I am kind of shocked you made it off the dyno with the stock clutch. With a SC you can probably limp the stock clutch for a while but instant torque with a turbo set up is hard on the stock clutch?

So you going with the Max Street Setup?

Well I had heard from several turbo guys that their stock clutch lasted a good while. I think I'm making a lot more torque than they were though. So yeah, I'm not shocked either but I was hoping to get a few thousand miles out of it. Not sure what I'll go with yet. Just shot Seb a PM. I'll see what he recommends and do a bit more reading.

I looked at Specialty Z but couldn't justify the additional $400 since I'm not going for rediculous power levels. If in the future I decide to build a block and go for high numbers a new clutch will be a drop in the bucket.

I'm going with the Z1 Full Face setup and ZSpeed CSC.

The prices are actually pretty comparable. Seb quoted me a much better price than what was on the website. I've heard good things about both setups but I think I'm going with Specialty Z.

I'm guessing the guys who say their OEM clutch lasted with a turbo have never had the car tuned on a dyno. On the street you'll just break the tires loose and unload the drivetrain.

Mr&Mrs · 02-10-2014, 11:15 AM

I don't drive my car very hard but noticed clutch slippage right out of the shoot. That said for my driving habits it almost never slips. On the dyno by the third pull we had horrible power loss due to the clutch getting glazed. She still pulls hard every once in a while though when I need her too.

With that said I would recommend doing a clutch install right away to fully enjoy the extra power. I'm all in with riding it till it breaks at this point but it isn't as much fun.

Boosted Performance · 02-10-2014, 02:04 PM

FMIC's and Exa pumps on the way out to all those who have bought a kit (don't have tracking numbers yet) Everything should be arriving this week though.
On a side note (and this is not in the manual), each pump will arrive with one of these:

150µ Screen Filter

This will go on the oil return pump "IN" port. It is there to prevent any potential debris from getting in to the pump, and causing the gears to bind up.

This is one of those one in a million “in case it happens” safety things. If the turbo for some reason happens to lose a piece of the bearing (extremely rare case), there is no way for it to get to the pump, therefore there is no way it could ever get to the engine. This is a new addition to the Exa pump line of products, and if it by any chance improves the entire system, I will send it out with the kit.

This could happen with any turbo, however, when you use a pump you can use this strainer as the system relies on the pump to take the oil back to the oil pan and not gravity.

Joepro · 02-10-2014, 02:18 PM

Your too damn good to us!

Joepro · 02-10-2014, 05:54 PM

Thinking of going with the AEM failsafe gauge, anyone know how to wire in a rev limiter or limp mode into this gauge, did some searching came up empty...I know you use the blue wire from the gauge.

jwick · 02-10-2014, 06:22 PM

No clue. I'm going to run innovate for AFR and then a multi-gauge for the rest of my monitoring.

Radride · 02-11-2014, 06:23 PM

Sasha, does your kit basically replace everything all the way back to the stock muffler section? I would like to retain the stock exhaust (mufflers) as changing it out only nets 4hp.
