pics of my raptorcharged vy ute

[psivyv6]

my ute has some serious torque now jst taking off at the lights hard not to make wheels spin and when u change to second they keep spinning then slowly gains traction, im in need of a cutch pretty bad as im still running stock1, it will b awesome with a new clutch and some diff gears.

[Raptor Charged VX]

good to see your up and running mate, what BOV did u go with, ill back on the road tuesday, its been over two weeks, its killing me . anymore pics?

[LJS-UTE]

new clutch and some diff gears might be next on the list, but ill bet you end up needing some new rubber rings for the rears earlier hahaha good to hear your stoked on the product, makes me even more eager to purchase my own!

[psivyv6]

i ended up running with 3 bosch valves the only tiny problem it seems 2 have is the valves bleed off a little 2 easy like at light throttle they are bleeding of then you hear them closing up once u apply a fair bit of throttle,i have a few more pics but the computer wont seem to put them up, ill try again tonight.
yes diff gears and clutch will def be the next mods, hopfully not 2 many tyres in between.

[psivyv6]

hey can anyone tell me a good clutch to put in my ute? charged vx mentioned a exedy cushion button but they are rated to only handle 200rwkw does any1 no anything a lil stronger?

carbon fibre triple plate

[psivyv6]

what brand? do u no a price on these? roughly?

[LJS-UTE]

PSIVY6:
Cross to the 'otherside' and have a chat to Mike from Yella Terra, those guys hear that question 100 times a day i would reckon. Due to the torque that their screw chargers put out any gearbox needs seriously heavy duty parts so they have to deal with that alot, im certain he could put you on a winner, possibly even tee something up for you.

[immortality]

i'd stay away from anything thats carbon fibre/triple plate. this is racing teritory and prices are accordingly high. either a HD clutch or double plate at the most would be required.

just remember that any perfomance clutch has a harsher engagement, especially ceramic/button type clutches. this will create a greater shock loads on the rest of the transmission when engaging the clutch, especially big RPM clutch drops. personally, i'd much rather change a clutch plate once a year then a gearbox

i checked the exedy website but didn't see the actual load ratings of the various clutches anywhere.

[psivyv6]

yeh i looked on exedy site 2 and just sent them an email and he said he has no clutch suitable for my ute they only range to 200rwkw, once i buy a clutch do u no how much replacment plates would be? coz surely a 200kw kit would last a fair while?

[immortality]

how long a clutch lasts comes down to driver use/abuse check VN luke's my ride thread for clutch idea's

[Stupa]

I think they were around 6 grand last time I got curious

[psivyv6]

wow no way am i spendin 6grand id rather do a t56 conversion. il hav a look thanx immortality

[psivyv6]

[psivyv6]

[psivyv6]

sorry its bad quality was taken on my fone haha

[aussiguy87]

looks good mate

[psivyv6]

thanx mate

[Raptor Charged VX]

not bad mate, must have been easy with the reverse plenum. i have a big turbosmart valve, its very loud, but very good

[psivyv6]

thanx mate yeh reverse plenum cuts bak on a few bends but have to extend alot of the wiring loom to reach places.

[Raptor Charged VX]

yeah i didnt think of the wiring, do u reckong your rockers make much differnence,, oh also about your clutch get onto NPC they are great, get it shipped down and fit it urself, but get a whole kit flywheel and all, i just got a ceremic button from them with out the fly 750 , and will do the job, Home

[psivyv6]

oh awesome mate will get onto it 2nyt, i couldnt tell u if rockers made any diference at all coz i fitted the cooler at the same time which was a bad idea for noticing the diference between the 2. are u gunna do the 13-14 psi upgrade kit for ur vx?im thinkin of doin it for mine but tim rekns itl destroy the tans haha

[Raptor Charged VX]

yeah i have been talking to him about diff ideas, so im not sure what im going to do , i just put the shits up my mrs, i was going round a corner in secong the boost gauge was on 0 so i clutched it then give it a bootfull and completly hung the ass out .
