Southbend OFE Clutch Install Pics

[niterydr]

I think they are just buttoning it up and getting IC piping to work for the new IC and then it's headed to the dyno. I think he'll be on the road with it tonight.

That is the theory and the goal. Fab was a bit backed up, had to wrap up an IC pipe solution with the change in FMIC.

Thanks for the business Chris, glad you liked everything. Like I said over on EvoM I forgot you were taking pics, the shop looks diiirty.

Typical clutch job turn around time is usually a day, pending waiting for a flywheel to be machined. We didn't have a evo flywheel instock, otherwise we would have had one ready to rock.

I'm curious though on yours. It doesn't look anything like my pressure plate. Are the EVO's different in appearance than Eclpse? Mine resembles more of stock appearance than yours.

EVO clutches are almost complete opposite then ours. Ours push the fingers towards the PP using a TO bearing, Evos, STIs and S2Ks acutally push the fingers away from the PP. I was talking with a guy at Project import as he was doing the clutch on an evo, and he said in those cars its a PITA to do clutches.

Yep. And, they also need to be "popped" off, and intermediate shafts taken out of the t-case/tranny otherwise the two won't come apart, and blah blah blah. But, clutches are clutches.

Whew, I got in about 235 GREAT break-in miles since I picked the car up Thursday night! This clutch is a dream to drive, and I CANNOT wait to start laying down the pedal again and seeing this thing hold good power!

I have a few more power mods coming in this week...

Ohhh nice! What are you getting now, or is it Top Secret ;)

NAWZ, tireflyz, and a whistle tip!

Nope, just gonna push the stock turbo & injectors a little further with ported exh manifold, turbine housing, SS o2 housing, and swap out the hiflo cat for a test pipe. I'll do 65mm TB, ported intake manifold, and AEM w/ speed density conversion down the road to really max out the stock stuff.

350 DD whp on stock VIII turbo anyone?

[Halon]

Sounds sweet. I like the idea of pushing the stock turbo as hard as possible.
