I'd get a sachs 890nmclutch installed before doing any more pulls IMO.

Part of the repair work was to have the turbos rebuilt and billet compressor wheels fitted while I was there.

Suspected cause

Those turbos make a serious increase in torque and 6th gear pulls from low revs are probably the worst thing you can do.

So I wish to conduct further 'testing' before I pull apart a car that doesn't need it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was out in the turbo today and thought I'd give it a bit to double check that the clutch i though was goosed was in fact still goosed. Car pulled like an absolute train. So I wish to conduct further 'testing' before I pull apart a car that doesn't need it. Part of the repair work was to have the turbos rebuilt and billet compressor wheels fitted while I was there. My understanding is that they should spool up quicker due to less rotating weight. So what I want to know is it safe enough to do some hard pulls? The AFR etc will compensate for the earlier spool up? As far as I know everything else is bog standard

POST 2Original post

I'd get a sachs 890nmclutch installed before doing any more pulls IMO. At least you know you're making good power - the issue is if the clutch slips you can inadvertently cause the engine to over rev :wink:

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is the drive ability on the 890nm clutch similar to oem?

POST 4Original post

It's a little more sensitive, but you soon get used to it. I find reversing a little more difficult. Weight is a little heavier. Did you get it remapped and bigger injectors fitted? Be cause you need them and a better set of intercoolers.

POST 5Original post

I never understood why reverse was more awkward, who told the clutch? MC

POST 6Original post

Sachs 890 little more difficult to modulate and agree reverse a little clunky but easily manageable. When my car was stock i do remember once on a cold morning after a long lay off the clutch slipping. Never happened again after that so it does happen but I assumed you'd remapped for more power with new turbos?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No there's been no remapping. The turbos were just rebuilt due to corrosion and as the chap was in there he offered me the option of billet compressor wheels so I went for it. Aside from that it's 100% standard

POST 8Original post

Take it out on a drive. When warmed up after 10 mins do a 6th gear pull from 50mph. If it slips its gone. If not you're probably fine but all consumables finite unfortunately :thumb:

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok great, I'll do that and report back

POST 10Original post

Please don't dive this car until you get it remapped. Those turbos are massively different and you'll get a lean condition and damage your engine. Get a new clutch and get it mapped. Those turbos make a serious increase in torque and 6th gear pulls from low revs are probably the worst thing you can do.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm glad you posted mate. I didn't think changing just the compressor wheel material would make so much difference. To be fair neither did the company that rebuilt them, he purely quoted an decrease in spool time. I'll probably need to let him know this.

POST 12Original post

I had billet k16's and I loved them. They just didn't love me.
