TORSPD: NEVR

Less talkie more turbo

 

This is why I am against Competition Clutch brand clutches. Reported 4k miles from the owner.

 

Holy balls!

My URD is still going strong after 10k, knock on wood. Everytime I punch it a little bit I keep waiting for some slip...

 

And your vehicle is much heavier than an XR, and has increased torque as well.

This process for the CC brand has been documented for years. Since shortly after they came out, for the Tacoma. They just are not dependable for the Tacoma.

 

Here is an Excedy OEM replacement cluch from a BRZ. Different vehicle, yes. Inspect how it handled abuse and which area failed. Even the discoloration of the hub from heat saturation. Still stayed together.



At minimum, Excedy is the the most cost effective best upgrade over stock, for OEM equivalent replacement, for the 1GR. Take not of the full dampening springs.

The OEM clutch has plastic bushings between the ends of the springs and the hub. If one of those break, it is catastrophic failure to follow.

 

Neither are the OEM clutches

 

Exedy and ACT have been my go to for cars. Loved my 6 puck sprung from ACT.

 

True true. There are some with their driving styles which can make them last. Regardless, handling moderate abuse, is not their strong suit.

A'men.

 

True, but they can't handle FI whatsoever. Here I was thinking I just sucked at driving stick (pretty sure I still do) when people are coming out of the woodwork claiming 20+ years driving stick and 5-10k miles after installing the SC the clutch starts slipping. I'm curious what the OEM clutch is actually rated for. Would not be surprised in the least to find it rated for 200-250 HP

 

They actually get rated for torque

 

Meh. Either way, its probably rated for baaaaaarely over stock numbers

Just installed some yellowstuffs. They are nice!

 

Fail! Does not match the passenger seat.

 

I thought you already had an aftermarket drivers seat?

 

This one is the new passenger seat. Pending the arrival of a seat slider.

 

Airbags and airbag light, did you somehow remove them or figure out a way to keep the light from going on? Looks so much more comfy!

 

This is one way of doing it...
