Clutch slip
garethmk1:
Cheers Steve,
Yes tried the new map to no avail.
Regards,
Gareth
MAT ED30:
It's going to happen to us all running a map pure and simple
WhiteGTI:
Am i right in saying that its torque that fooks the clutches??
Should I be worried even with 300lb/ft ?
MAT ED30:
It's running 300bhp plus all the torque that is given in 5th and 6th as the normal clutch can't cope for long, so if you mapping an ed30 budget for a clutch in the future as it will start to slip and my stage 1 was not on for ages so it's done about 7k with it on

gareth , I know how you feel ! stick with it though :happy2: the route once you move away from std is never easy.
you could go back to stock , and I'm sure the clutch wont slip. And claim £ back from SC
or keep trying to resolve the map, or go back to the previous SC version with lower torque
(that may allow you to run a map but not req a clutch?)
Im not bowing to the clutch inevitability yet tbh. think how many ed30's are remapped by various tuners.
But the evidence is rising :sad: and Im running a peak of 370lbft@3krpm so if anyones is gonna go its mine.......
played on my mind all thru santa pod runs tbh, I never really attempted to slip it.
I think 1 over zealous slip and its toast.........
for my interest what do you mean "ruined 2nd gear" ? I assume you mean power delivery + wheelspin etc is that right?
think of it as an opportuniy to fit a paddle clutch and LSD :innocent: :evilgrin:
hang in there m8, were all with you
[edit to add]
The K04 upgrade kits all have 330-360lbsft ish and none come with an uprated clutch.
