mikerunner Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 hi i have 6 speed tt j spec and clutch is slipping. has full bbu with 550 injectors and uk spec ecu will stock clutch handle this ok or should i get an uprated clutch thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The stock clutch should be able to handle BPU levels of power, but it's at it's upper limit. Personally I would go for a Southbend DXD clutch as they have great torque ratings (700ib/ft+), feel like stock and are considerably cheaper than some overpriced jap stuff often mentioned on here. Others will tell you to go for the HKS clutches. BTW, when the clutch goes it's often time to get a new flywheel so factor that in too if then current one is outside of Toyota spec limits.

BTW, when the clutch goes it's often time to get a new flywheel so factor that in too if then current one is outside of Toyota spec limits. couldnt agree more with homer here. i annoyed him for ages about this same situation. i decided to take the big mans advise and got a southbend clutch. its a brilliant piece of kit. i have driven so hard on it and thrashed it about everywhere! my biting point is still right at the bottom. no rattling, no shaking and no noises at all! to top it off the car drives like stock, the pedal doesnt kill you leg and through traffic its not bad as compared to those puck clutches. also i was lucky with my flywheel but recently have seen a lot of other cars (friends) that we have changed clucthes on and the flywheels have been seriously f.u.b.a.r'd huge score marks!!!

Jellybean Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) thats the clutch sorted what about fly wheel is it best to go for toyota original fly wheel. I am sure a Toyota Fly wheel will do the job but a lighted Fidanza would give you some extra performance 'RPS Cyn-R-G Segmented Flywheel' got a good review on MVP Motorsports I am sure somebody here can give you some advice Edited September 2, 2009 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
