Hmmm,

Organic clutches will require a heavier pressure plate to hold up the power, thus, heavier pedal.

I got a single plate 9-puck Ceramic button clutch plate installed and beefed up pressure plate at 2500lbs (more than the usual 2200 everyone else uses for a ceramic clutch)

I get shudder if not giving enough accelaration on launches etc, but that's something i have to live with.

I can chirp 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on a rough road with EASE... and 4th if i push it...

Can an organic do this ?

I never have a burny-clutch smell anymore, which is great.... plus i get to hear all the buttons clicking into place when I take of (wank factor)

Best $800 I ever spent :(

p.s. In the wet, a ceramic clutch is lethal, one slip and the wheels are spinning baby!

Strich9ine: did Ross @ autoclutch do ur clutch?

Just curious as I had a new clutch fitted by Ross thats sounds pretty much the same as yours.

Is that really what that clicking noise is on take off? Ah...hrm I thought it was something wrong haha woops :D

Very nice clutch...I can chirp into 2nd and 3rd as well, but I haven't tried 4th yet. If anyone in Perth is looking for a new clutch, go and see Ross @ Autoclutch in Osbourne Park. He's a top bloke and does a good job :P

Anyways, benm I don't think you've got that much to worry about. Mine started to loosen up after a couple of weeks. Now its all good. ;)

i got one of these clutches too... Proud to say i didnt stall it wen i first drove it... I was very jumpy tho... I remember one time speeding up toi go thru an amber light to turn right.. I put in bak into 2nd to turn the corner and took the clutch out like i did with the old one... Talk about a compressiopn skip... Bloody scary..

But yeh after i got use to it i could chirp 4th in my gts4!

Benm, I got the daikin heavy duty clutch fitted today as well.

mine didnt seem to be as hard to drive as yours.

The clutch pedal is even slightly lighter than the original and I can get the car moving without even touching the accelerator just by using the natural pull which I couldnt do with my standard clutch.and one more thing, its much harder to put the gear into 1st and reverse. It feels like there are not enough oil or lubricant or something.

do you have the same prob Benm?

I give it a few hard launch at 3000rpm and theres nothing smelly at all.

I asked the mechanic who fit the clutch for me and ask him why the pedal is so light. he told me he put some grease at the bearing.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
