Got it ...
I went thru the OEM clutch and then an ACT (from Stillen) single disc clutch...
Had the heavy duty slave made by ??? as well...

Seems these FI cars dine on clutches.

Finally went with the OS Giken twin disc ... has it's own slave and flywheel included if I remember correctly...it will bolt in however it does require it's own adapter to make it actually function ... (don't forget :-) or you'll be pulling the tranny again.

Once in we found out that there wasn't sufficient adjustments to bring the pedal engagement from off the floor ... Had to go with the RJM custom clutch pedal to gain enough adjustments in order to do that.
Highly recommend the RJM pedal ... he's on the forum here.

I wouldnt stress over it. Nothing on a car is bullet proof! Any moving parts you have added to your car have begun the process of wearing until failure the moment you installed them.

COSMO · 09-03-2014, 04:34 PM

Understand all moving parts wear but when we spend hard earned money on a part that is supposed to supersede a known failing part and it fails too is not too impressive.

^ what he said. Cell photo auto correct fuct me

well the saab piece is leagues better in terms of reliability, the z1 one system just makes it easier to replace when it goes, the tilton pieces are great stuff but damn pricey. Oh and the oem one is garbage lol

It's dyno day so check back because I will post up the youtube video.. I'm having them make a few maps, low and high boost on 93oct..

I'll tell you this... your project might be a huge PITA. Once it is done, you'll be able to enjoy it. Granted, it won't be the fastest car in the world. It'll have this character that other cars don't have. So I'd love to view some HD action clips and sound!

I honestly don't care for anything else out there, which is part of the reason why it's difficult to let it go. I'd love to build mine up someday... [sigh]. #singlelife #house haha

Cant wait to see this on the dyno and you finally behind the wheel

COSMO · 09-04-2014, 03:39 PM

Just got a call from bobby, its on the dyno right now... I told him I wanted a 10psi map and a 15-16psi map..

COSMO · 09-04-2014, 04:12 PM

Low boost map is finished. Made 9psi 500whp, those custom pistons were worth the money.. Sorry I originally typed 10psi but it was 500whp
@ 9psi

elperuano · 09-04-2014, 07:11 PM

Congrats, I think I saw ur final numbers. I thought torque would be way higher

COSMO · 09-04-2014, 08:25 PM

The peak torque was 471. The 435 torque was at the end of the power band around 6600rpm's...

This was 13psi...

For some reason the wastegates were opening causing the boost pressure not to go any higher. When I get it back I will tighten up the actuators because before it was hitting 17-19 psi..

You could always spring the actuators as well, go to the hardware store and bick up some various sizes of tension springs and do it up like this

Nice pump numbers man! Much deserved for you Cosmo! Hopefully you continue to push that 16! Those would be killer!!
