damn, one hit after another:ugh:

were they able to say (also if you're willing to share) at what torque the clutch started slipping?

They told me but I don't exactly remember. They also told me what ATS said what TQ it was spec'ed at. The HP rating was 800hp and the Tq rating was a good bit lower.

I am just glad this broke during testing. It's easy to deal with right now.

Just saw Bluerangers motor build on Instagram by Specialty Z. It's a nice build. Looks like the same build Hotrodz is doing also. ARP 625 head studs with the proper washer size. The ones you get from ARP are too small and you must order the correct size washers. Closed deck block, etc.

MA got my clutch upgrade parts ordered last week. All of the twin disk parts can be re-used and are in good order. So, we caught the issue early and a big break on the cost to upgrade since we only needed one Carbon disk, one friction disk, and triple disk pressure plate. It is coming from Japan so it will take 7-10 days.

Just in case you guys want to see what I am upgrading to. This comes with a CSC relocation kit to outside the bell housing.
Everything you will see is HP ratings. You must inquire about the TQ specs. This is where we goofed a little.

wow...that's badass :driving:

I'm guessing you can't pair that 10 lb flywheel with other clutch setups :(

Jeebus a 10lbs flywheel.....and that clutch....

Might as well consider this battery, weights only like 4lbs

I got the 22.8 lb flywheel. I just didn't see a need in the 9.9 lb one. That one would be tough to drive on the street in traffic.

:rolleyes:

Noop. Great thing is they are upgradeable. It didn't take much to go from a twin to a triple.

Light weight triple disks clutches are no joke and really only good for the track.

When I saw that's what you were going with, I decided to inquire with ATS direct in Japan. They wouldn't sell the same kit part number you have in country (my freight forwarder did the inquiring). That stuff is apparently race market only? Buying it straight from there would've saved a bunch of money on my car insurance, alas.

Look forward to your impressions driving it on the street

I DD mine w/ a 13lb flywheel w/ no issues. I love it and would do it again if I had the chance, but different strokes :tiphat:

edit: that is on a stock clutch, though, so not exactly a straight comparison
