Boosted Is200...

[LexusIS200Sam]

had a strong feeling the clutch was going to be cooked by the amount of new torque. spoke with steve a minuite ago and confirmed it. so back to steves on monday for the uprated clutch etc then back to noble to be finished. should of really put the clutch in it first but wanted to do it myself to save money but thats out the window lol.

[B15RUP]

Sorry to hear this Sam, I hope it gets sorted soon!

[LexusIS200Sam]

knew it was coming so cant complain, i suppose once its done its done.

[DJ Wozza]

Getting close now Sam, I was almost at the point of giving up before I finally got my Sat/nav/cameras/dvd hooked up.

Keep at it pal :D

[Ellz]

what clutch you getting sam ?

[sparkystav]

I'm interested in what clutch too.

I was in talks with SPEC in the USA about there clutches for the is200 after drift works boys raving about them so much, it wasnt to bad to get one shipped over, i'll see if i've still got the emails and prices. Im getting a stage 3+ for the 1JZ conversion so will be able to feedback afterwards

[sparkystav]

But is it suitable for a daily drive?

reckon i'll need a six paddle clutch to be the right balance.

going to speak with steve on monday and find out which is the quickest option tbh

[LexusIS200Sam]

clutch is on order, should have the car back at charlesworth tomorow to fit. then back to be finished and have the boost increased to a bar.... spoke with charlesworth earlier today and was told the car made 270bhp@flywheel so could look forward to having it back this weekend perhaps.

also does anyone know the usual percentage of power lost in the drivetrain? would like to know the power at the tarmac.

[sparkystav]

Surely the power at the tarmac is the one they know and the fly is estimated?

But 20% is the usual figure as far as i know. so 216 at the wheels i'd estimate.

What clutch did you go for in the end?

Stav

[LexusIS200Sam]

thats what i fort, but apparently at noble they get it from the fly. i think its a exedy clutch.

216bhp@0.5 bar isnt bad :) look forward to the final read out at a bar of boost.

[sparkystav]

They cant get it from the fly unless the engine is out. the Dyno auto estimates the losses thats all.

Where did you get the exedy clutch from?

What rating was it?

My clutch appears to be on its way but Helix dont seem to want my custom and arent replying to emails.

steve has sourced it, il ask him next time we speak mate.

[sparkystav]

Nice one mate, let us know.

good method is the following

although the flywheel figure can only be a calculation of the wheel figure

FWD cars - add 10 bhp to the wheel figure and divide the result by 0.9

RWD cars - add 10 bhp to the wheel figure and divide the result by 0.88

4WD cars - add 10bhp to the wheel figure and divide the result by 0.84

To estimate the expected wheel bhp from a known flywheel bhp just reverse the equations

FWD - multiply flywheel power by 0.9 and then deduct a further 10 bhp

RWD - multiply flywheel power by 0.88 and then deduct a further 10 bhp

4WD - multiply flywheel power by 0.84 and then deduct a further 10 bhp

so at 270 you would be looking at 227 wheel hp

nice, cant wait.

its having the clutch and back to be finished at noble on tuesday, so next week i reckon :D. should make over 300bhp@flywheel with any luck.

Fingers are crossed for you mate, i thought when you said 2 weeks at the begining you where being a littel optimistic Lol

haha yeah too true.

[LexusIS200Sam]

for everyones information, the clutch im using is from prolex :) progress has been very very slow this week.... car was still at noble waiting to be picked up for the clutch for a week last time i phoned.

[Dan_Harris]

Doesn't sound too gd mate, hope you get it back soon, so you can take me for a spin ;)

[aaronabbott]

is taking the mickey slow or just time consuming/busy slow

[LexusIS200Sam]

cars on its way back to charlesworths now apparently, going to phone them tomorow and see how they got on.... replacing the clutch should be a mornings work so hopefully back to noble tomorow.

[LexusIS200Sam]

Doesn't sound too gd mate, hope you get it back soon, so you can take me for a spin ;)

i havent forgot lol

spoke with steve earlier today, cars back with him... clutch is going in as we speak.... hes said the car is smoking quite a bit from the turbo but the turbo seems fine, hes just checking the return feed and seels..... also told me he took it up the road and back and it went like stink! lol cant wait :D

possiblity for next week now, once its run in i cant wait to open up the taps and see how well it goes.
