Just a note. The excedy heavy duty can't hold 200kw.

Holding over 300kw (flywheel, where the rating is measured) without a problem for me. Don't spread misinformation.

Agree the Xtreme Motorsport clutches have also worked very well for me.

A car Ive done previously had the Xtreme button plate wear a little thin so I popped a regular exedy organic plate in it and its been running forevermore another 18 months of abuse later.

Here is a 34 i just finished tuning. Did a run before poncams and then tuned it after poncams.

Is running G3 older spec. This is with profec B spec 2 set to 0 but helping with holding top end (basically gate pressure)

Tao has sent a 14psi actuator that we will fit so can tune a low boost.

I tried more boost with this setup but kept nosing over and for the extra amount of boost there wasnt enough gain.

It saw 281kw with a bit more midrange on 21psi.

Tried advancing and retarding exhaust gear with no gain. So left at 0.

Also tried dropping the exhaust which automatically raised the boost to 20psi and made 281kw

Thats correct coupe.

The light blue run was when the dyno was playing up but it was reading the dyno correctly just not controlling the steady state.

I have tuned this car in the other (mainline) dyno and it made 232kw but has a different cat since then

Aparently I was lying before so here is the full details. I've got an rs4s running an excedy hd, stock turbo on 10/11psi it slipped a little, installed hypergear tuned to 220kw, slipped a bit more. Rebuilt engine and got clutch checked, nothing physically wrong with it or the flywheel, just doesn't hold.

thats does it I want cams now...

Oh wow. Am I reading the graph correctly in that the run with poncams made 53kw more top-end (ignoring the mid-range gain as well because I can't see that axis) with less boost? If that's the case then I may start thinking about poncams more seriously as well lol. What are the specs on those cams, are they Type-B's, ie. 260's???

I also agree it looks like a restriction somewhere though, what's going on with the shape of the curve Jez, was that caused by the exhaust?

Lol very true, between boost bleeding off, square wheels and my brake pedal causing earthquakes in my car. I'm having lots of fun chasing problems.

You were lying before, so how can I trust what you're saying now? :P

Seriously though, there are a lot of factors to clutches not holding up in specific applications. Your pressure plate may be worn which can be visually impossible to tell and the lack of clamping pressure, no matter how good your friction plate is, will mean slippage.

no u dont, what you (me also) need to do is get VCT running so we can get a fatter mid range! lol

Yeh but I'm already onto that and it hasn't costed me any money yet, that's no fun! :P

By the way, hoping to have results for my latest setup around the middle to end of this month. Just need to get my throttle cable issue sorted and then I'll book it in for a tune. VCT should now be working, so fingers crossed I've got it all right this time haha.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
