Sonic was just dropped off at SPEC!

[$ub$onic]

In for long term results!

What is the advantage of the Kevlar disc vs others ?

Less sensitive..... I do like the "no breaking in needed" on ceramic puck. And virtually no risk of hotspots, or glazing.

But civility is definitely easier to get with full-face Kevlar.

Once the Kevlar has burnished in it will last for a long time and handles heat extremely well. With enough clamp load it will hold a sh*te load of power to.
I had a Kevlar stg2 SPEC in me E36 M3. After owning it for a year, I decided to turbo it. I figured I'd leave the clutch in and cross my fingers it would hold up. I picked an additional 150whp and 190wtq with 8.5psi on a kit I built and that clutch never slipped or gave me any issues. I took that car to the drag strip and beat on it too. No problem.

Nice, does the engine still take foreeeveer to rev down? That is one thing I cannot stand and hope a LWFW will fix some of it.

I've some mile to put on it before I can go WOT so I can't answer that yet.
Ask Preloader if that helped. He has a CM LWFW in his.

 

[Preloader]

It helped a little. But the long rev down seems to be more a function of the throttle programming than the FW mass. But....... I do believe it's not quite as bad. Definitely not gone to the degree that it feels like a normal manual.

You can see in the video that it stops dropping at about 2,000 rpm and then slowly settles down to idle. Again, seems like programming to keep stability for the consumer that doesn't want one single stumble.

Damn, the stock tach is laggin quite a bit hahah.

The stage 4 CM Clutch is Kevlar isn't it?

It's built in for emissions. It should be pretty easy to tune out though.

I don't think trifecta will do it.

Probably not, Vince wont mess with much when it comes to emissions hence why he gave the ability to turn off the rear O2 sensor as well as other monitors to the end user in EZ Flash. Scot or Morgan might be able to tell us if it's doable with their software (HP Tuner?).

This is one of the reason I may peruse hp tuners.

Maybe some here can HPTune it out. opcorn:

I suspect it would be as simple as allowing DFCO at more than a 200 RPM window. My 1.8 is limited to a max RPM of 1350 and a minimum RPM of 1150 and 11-9 MPH in first gear only for DFCO if I am reading the information in HPT correct.

 

[Larrymer]

Those are probably the disable points, not the enable criteria. My car goes into DFCO way more often, seems to disable around 1400ish in higher gears.

Any news on the steel wheel?

Look at post 59. I already have it in the car. I gave a quick review.

How long till you can romp on the car with the new clutch?
Does the flywheel change the spool up or how fast you get through the gears?

I've got another 300 miles before I can really beat on it.
