EVO X SST slipping and releasing

[Mixedmotorsportmedia]

Hey all

Just thought i would let everyone know... my transmission is SHAGGED haha, basically no more launch control ( gets off the line and around 6400 rpm lets go of the clutches ) and from around 80 in 4th if you punch it when it hits boost the clutches release and it pings rev limiter

I can safely assume that it is my own fault, the car has been Launched ALOT of times and is running a fair bit more power and torque then standard.

SO the only solution to me at the moment is the Titan 4 package from SSP.
i will post some pictures when i drain the sst fluid as to the condition of the fluid. ( i think its going to be black ) and keep it updated with install pics of one Awesome package from SSP

Anyone else had any problems with there SSTs ?

Yikes! That blows - can you revert back to standard and try to claim warranty?

With the power your making in your Andrew i doubt very much your clutches will be buggered, there are many more Evo X owners that are making alot more power with no issues.

Ive heard of a number of cases where people have had a similar issue with the clutches slipping and this is caused by the tune and not the actual clutches being stuffed.

So before you go and start pulling the gearbox apart i suggest you look more into the tune because it maybe that.

how much power/torque are u putting through the SST?

Jeff i believe his car is making 196kw atw.

i know about the torque limiter. only about 300 hp atw.. but a shit load of torque , it has had probably over 100 launches. it has had a hard life. i will loook into it. but with im planning i know i need to do the clutches either way hehe

its been upped since then nick, at that level had NO problems what so ever. it is making 24psi by 3000 rpm, a friend told me that shocking the clutches can make them release.. its hard to tell with these new tech :S

[Mixedmotorsportmedia]

o, also i have never had problems with this before. it has been doing it fine for a while.. just since ALOT of drag testing and trying to get to the SST world record haha

I stll dont think it will be the clutches Andrew, eben thos you have given it a hard life. How much power is it making now?

[JaCe]

Hmm 196kW atw isn't too hectic so I don't think the SST would blow because of that- but that being said if you've been launching it hard regularly, it's difficult to say how the SST is coping. Keep us in the loop!

i have been reading up alot, there is a test and tune tonight, might try see if i can somehow get a 50 % TPS limiter in it for first gear.. see how it goes

it works fine in the wet.. spinning first and second... makes me think maybe it might be hitting torque limiter, last dyno it made 213 KW

Who tune the car Andrew?
