Have you thought about running some like this that will allow the clutch to slip?

Evo X has a restrictor pill stock from the factory. Not sure about the guys with 6-puck clutches, but it's almost a must to remove it if you place to drive hard with a full-face disc. Removing the one from my ex-X is what allowed the stock clutch to last so long (71k miles and counting) at 425/400.

Yeah, that shit can probably stop. Everyone knows what happened and Hughes feels bad enough about it.

That was a joke, I have no ill feelings toward Hughes, MAP or anyone involved and wouldnt wish that upon anyone either. If it happened to me I'd expect some laughs as well. If everyone is going to get butthurt about that I'll edit my post or a MOD can delete it.

That wasn't me getting butthurt and it also wasn't funny. Since you want to QQ about it, enjoy your week off. ^banned

:beer::sex022: BANNED FOR THIS?^^^

Well if Marlo wants to have the car launch consistently then he would need a tire with a softer sidewall to allow the tire so catch up or something to allow the clutch to slip a little whether it's his foot or a flow control valve.

Personally I think it's easier to to just side step the clutch and allot the tires to do the work.

I believe Magnus makes one that will just slip a litte on the launch.

But then again what do I know my fwd car only cuts mid 1.5 60fts. :seeya:

Thoughts on IC size for a stock turbo?

ETS only has 3" cores in stock and I was hoping to order a new IC this week.

I was planning to get a new ETS bundle which is there #1 package or some shit.

It comes with the intake, UICP, LICP and the FMIC, all of which I need to get my car running again and its a pretty good deal. ETS recommended to me to go 3.5" even though their 3" is rated at 700HP. They said the extra cooling will be necessary with the extra hot air I will be pushing with the stock turbo at 30psi+. To be honest, I am not sure the stock turbo will make 30psi on my setup as I think it will be maxed out but yea.

So I am struggling on whether to wait on ETS to get more 3.5/4" cores in stock or risk the 3".

Some people i have talked to said just stick with 3", less weight, plenty of cooling for 400whp and cheaper. Others have said you want the bigger IC's for more cooling and denser air etc etc.

I could look at getting a different IC besides the ETS to get a bigger one I guess, but I like simple and ordering a package deal from ETS seems simple and I wanted to do it this week so I can get my car running soon.

Also I have heard conflicting information on pressure drops and what not.

Get AGP's FMIC instead and pair it with Depo's aluminum IC pipes. For real, I've installed a few sets and they are nice; fairly thick aluminum so they don't crush yet are still a fraction of the weight of steel pipes. As far as the AGP FMIC: large core, perfect fitment (I've installed a few), 3" outlet to match the Depo LICP, and cast end-tanks.
