I will be upgrading my clutch in the near future but in the meantime I was just curious what people have been running on their stock clutches.
Right now I am at 270hp 198tq on the stock clutch and its holding just fine, I've been running boost with the stock clutch for 5000 miles now without a hickup.

yeah id say you will be upgrading it in the near future alright! Thats a lot of torque for the stock clutch, myne lasted about 55k.

 

maybe i'm wrong about this, but i think higher revs kill the clutch more than higher hp at lower rpm. - to an extend... Lets say, as 250whp FI ITRs are able to drive on stock and keep stock redline, while 200whp N/A ITRs seem to kill the clutch much faster and i think due to higher revs.

 

I agree. I think rpm kills stock clutches more than hp. The centrifugal force causes the disc spring retainers to break.

 

.....d00d, I dunno how you're doing it - cause with anything over 180whp my stock clutch was going. And that was with only 10k miles on it!

btw: tell someone at LHT to return my calls on the hydro tranny in an EF...

 

I think we should have a list....

N/A, how much power, redline and how long the stock clutch lasted

F/I, how much power, redline and how long the stock clutch lasted

 

 

~180 whp... 8,600 rpm 44,800 miles... and still looks fine.

Driver input has a lot to do with clutch life.

I 'expect' that the stock unit will (would) last 100,000 miles in my car.

 

**** i killed mine when i only had like 170 whp and like 7k on the car.
i think the slicks did it though
i have had my act in it since like 8k on the car and now have 34k on it and still holds like a **** . i have had about 300 whp on this clutch and track events every weekend with 7k plus drops on slicks off the line .

 

Damn, I'm suprised you've been running for that long with those #'s...I'm putting down 282hp and 198tq and I can get 1-2 good launches at the track, then the stock clutch gets got and starts slipping really bad. That has been the case from day 1 after the turbo install

stock ITR clutch good for 250 hp anymore might be to much
might want to shop around for a clutch
