Recently turbod my crx, d15b2->mpfi->t25. intercooled, 450s, hack, bov, stock clutch.

I've been driving it around for a few days now. I noticed when I hold the pedal down, whether i stomp on it or go easy, after it spools up the tach just shoots up (flares) really fast. It shoots up from about 4k to 7k as if i have a lightweight flywheel, then it just stays at about 7000rpm for a few seconds before hits fuel cutoff. When it flares it doesnt feel like it's pulling that hard at all. You guys think it's a slipping clutch? any other ideas? tia

 

yup sure sounds like it. my stock clutch didnt even last a week days on boost.

 

thats what 9i sounds like to me too turbo gets nice and spooled up and the clutch can hold ...try this go to where u can climb a hill and get going put it in 5th mash it and see if the rpms shoot up and the car still is going slow

 

yeah just tried your trick. shot straight up. tried it a bit later and it grabbed fine. Im guessing it's just worn down and the pressure plate/disc doesnt like to grab when cold. thanks

 

my 3 month old oem clutch grabs fine..at least for now

 

i know i guy that is running a jrsc on a gsr on the stock clutch.just depends on how bad the clutch is befor FI is added
