306 2.0 hdi 16v

[Piggy]

This turbo is madness compared to gt1852v. I am very pleased

Er yeah! 

Its leaps on from the gt18v

[Poodle]

Good to hear, well done! Can't wait to see some videos up.

[zx_volcane]

Very big. At 190km/h I push pedal to the floor and it jumps foward

hehe, I bet you're pleased Some fair speed that, and still pulling

[Midnightclub]

+1 for videos, sounds awesome!

Surely you'll be running out of gears soon enough?

[dashmader]

I am at the moment out of gears. A 6th gear would do miracles

[Midnightclub]

I think anyone who's owned an HDi will agree with that. I've shifted from 5th to 4th before forgetting it didn't have a 6th lol

Hate getting into a hdi after driving my meg or the rallye   can guarantee a near-miss-shift into reverse at 50mph!

Hello people. Car is ok but clutch still slips bad. 5th gear downhill and it slips.
Maybe beacuse i put only the drive plate??
Could this be a good set up to sort this problem??

[dashmader]

Any idea on this???anyone? ?

Both of those would be ok, I'd probably go for the paddle type with the sort of power you'll be running.

Thanks. I must sort this out before giving more fuel in

[Poodle]

The helix would probably be ok, it's not rated to the kind of power you're running, but i've seen them hold over 200bhp.

O think the problem also is on the pressure plate. But do you know of any other option?

You are already running a ceramic paddle that is slipping?

Can you contact the company and enquire about this? I wouldn't have thought have expected it to slip straight away, in 5th downhill you say?

No doubt Helix can make you a very nice custom clutch to spec that will handle all the power you want, but will be expensive to go down this route if it is not required.

Could it be the pressure plate worn out?? I used my LUK pressure plate ( not new but it didn't had too many km on it)

And as I said downhill 5th gear full pedal a rpm goes over the roof lol.

Maybe it need more bedding, more slipping makes bedding faster, no?

[zx_volcane]

Recommended bed in for paddle iirc is easy driving for 500 miles - then use normally

Assume you faced off the old pressure plate and flywheel? Not sure you can wear a pressure plate out per say, as long as the springs aren't snapped then should hold same clamping force? Unless they can go 'soft' but never heard of it.

Pressure plate had the marks of release bearing. Flywheel and pressure plate where faced yes. 500 miles, I think I am almost there. Will make a few more miles today to see if it goes better and then put file with more mm3

[Poodle]

The springs on the pressure plate will wear out over time, that's why it's all changed together. Slipping won't help it bed in, more likely to cause some glazing.

[welshpug]

did the machine shop also face off the clamping surface of yhe pressure plate where it bolts on too?

if not then the resurfaced friction area will be lower in the pressure plate and will have a lower clamping force

[Jonny81191]

If it gets to the point that it doesn't hold at all, one last attempt could be a really really hard start, get it properly hot. I was about to give up on my cg until i tried this.

This is such a common mistake I have seen happen its unreal, can get away with it on a standard car but not when pushing the limits

[dashmader]

I am making many km today to see if it goes better, if not I will buy a helix pressure plate to see if it holds

[dashmader]

Still no luck with clutch... I am going to buy a new pressure plate from helix to see if it sorts the problem

[HDi--Power]

You never answered our question, did they skim where the bolt holes are in addition to the friction surface on the flywheel? if not you are wasting your time

[dashmader]

2mm off on bolts surface

[HDi--Power]

Strange then, its pretty common to use a standard pressure plate with a paddle friction disc, holds over 400nm no problem for me for 2 years. And I cant imagine that turbo to be a torque monster, its just too big.

[dashmader]

Hello friends. After many weeks clutch is ok. New custom pressure plate and a new disc too, now its smooth and grip good, no slips

[dashmader]

Can anybody point ne in the right direction to get stronger rods?
I am trying to find stronger forged rods for my engine. Some one as experience on this, who should I talk to?

[Poodle]

Zxvolcane had the last lot made up i believe. Good to hear the clutch is holding up.

[welshpug]

Robson Engineering.

These are my custom rods.
