Default 6 puck clutch is slipping?????

oh so i have a h22a swap into a civic with LSD, i have a ACT 6 puck clutch with HD-PP, and a jun flywheel
tonight i sprayed my first shot of nitrous 50 dry, and after the last run a smelt a bit of clutch, WTF? now i only have like 700 miles on it, but i heard there is no break in for 6 puck?
i dont think that my clutch should be slipping with only a 50 shot, for gods sake my tires are bald all they do is spin

maybe it was how you launched it, when did you engage the nitrous?

Did you replace the throw-out bearing while you were in there?

Could be a # of things...but if you really want to kill a weekend, try dropping the tranny and check out the clutch/flywheel surface. Hopefully you didn't burn all the material off the 6 puck already?! Was everything torqued down to spec?

Yes brakes can smell the same, especially if you get them very hot, like a hard stop from high speeds.

BTW, in your sig it says **** honda motors online. Did you have a bad experience with them? I am planning on purchasing from them soon

what about their 'start-up warranty'? Does that just mean that the engine will fire but isnt guaranteed to run good? thats bullshit
