Hello, Today I gave my car a bit of a launch, the clutch pedal stayed to the floor resulting in me not going anywhere fast with some nasty clutch slip and burn smell the pedal came back after getting of the gas. The car drove ok after this with maybe a bit a shudder when taking off pedal worked ok. Has this happened to anyone else?

Unsure what happened fluid is good with no leaks, master also good. I've read that it could be the slave not coming out quick enough, or the clutch is on it's last legs. it is the factory clutch. Or the throw out bearing.

I did go home after this not wanting for something to let go and be stuck.

I'm going to change the clutch anyway now in preparation for hypergear atr43 turbo. Can anyone please suggest a clutch that will handle the power a atr43 turbo can make on stock rb25 with e85

Cheers

Ok thanks guys, I'm going to go with NPC.

But is it normal for the pedal to not come up when experiencing clutch slip? never experienced this before.

Would the issue be with the clutch? The slave looks fine no leak.

I've had the 'stuck pedal' happen before, right before my clutch died. Better get it changed sooner rather than later.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
