ECR033, did u find someone to do the work for you? if ur looking at somewhere pm me and i can give my mates at MRT a call and get a quote for you, just tell me wat work needs to be done and wat parts u have.....

Not yet mate - still looking into it. Once I sort out exactly what I need done, I'll drop you a PM :P
id say ur clutch will hold, i had a 5 puk clutch before this one and man it used to take a thrashing, just was a little bit of a bitch when it heated up... i dunno though

it depends on the clamping pressure too, your one might be fine just wait and see...

with most puks and buttons they are not meant to be slipped much at all, so if you slip it they overheat quickly and will slip easily. but once cooled down they will be fine again..

so yeah if u dont slip them they should be fine.

I run a 9puk Ceramic 1tonne, these handle up to around 300rwkw without any issues.

I had a play with launching in second at 3000rpm, the clutch had to be ridden otherwise it would break out in to a wheel spin.

With quite a bit of slipping it showed zero signs of wanting to slip, felt exactly the same after the big slip, unlike organics that go all crappy until they cool down.

I've previously had organic clutches that with a hard launch had second gear slipping. :P

Ceramics tollerate heat better than organics in the respect of grip however they are known to burnout quick if they are slipped too much.

GunMetalR33: just curious, is ur engine internally standard? or u got some work done?

Nup, all stock inside. I would like to get a new zaust cam but i dont have the $700 for it. I am hoping to get around 260rwkw at ~20psi. I would be happy with 250 though :D

hey guys just dropped my car off at the exhaust place to get the dump fixed up, should be done by this arvo, then the tuner will take it tonight and hopefully it will be mine tomorrow, worst case wednesday.....yay cant wait!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys, tuner got back from jamboree today, he was really impressed with the power my car is putting out on a mild tune. from wat he says, cruising at 90kmh in 3rd gear, once he puts his foot down the car starts wheel spinning. car goes on dyno this saturday for a proper tune and reading. Look out guys this is looking promising!!!!

Yep new tires.

240rwkw here and with new 225's I'm lucky to start losing traction in second on a smooth flat road.

I can chirp into third with a nice clutch slam but noooooooo hope of the car breaking traction due to pure power in this gear.

What tyres are those? I have some cheap 265's with new tread and can spin up in second... with only 200rwkw

Edited by GunMetalR33

yeh guys i know that, but my tyres are fine, they are new and i have 255's, it spins them easy, i have dunlop sports which have a fair bit more traction then my old tyres, i used to be able to spin 3rd with a clutch dab before, now its even easier....

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
