Hmmmm,

[BlitzBoy]

We were (may still be!) Exedy dealers but had so much rubbish from them and zero warranty success on dead clutches with f/a mileage on them that we dont sell them any more. Totally unhelpful. We sold a lot of their clutches too, not just FD. I know another of the Pro 16 from Jap Show has had the same crap too. Thats why we have gone into the Xtreme\'s - R

Dont go there Rich about Exedy, I have gone through two of there pressure plates in The Pulsar GTI-R, WHAT A LOAD OF DOG POO, dont buy Exedy!!!
The dealer (Who will remain nameless but Well Known in the Pulsar circles) I bought them from was totally unhelpful, denied after having seen the pressure plate there was a problem reluctantly he sent back to Exedy,blaming my mechanic (My mechanic who has bulit a 550bhp Mini V8 I might add) that he has not fitted right (hold on its only a clutch simple job for a mechanic), and Im still waiting to hear from them after 5 weeks!! DONT BUY EXEDY, customer support zero.

The clutch disc was fine, but both Pressure Plates from them died just after 800 miles!!! I mean WTF!!!


oooppps sorry for Hijacking the thread
Good luck with the rebuild Trex, what porting will you go for?

running 19 psi without every having been mapped for that boost might have had something to do with it................

[TRex]

Spot on Tim, it was indeed detonation... As that was exactly what I was monkeying about with.. \'Timing\'....  :eek

 I was trimming less and less timing as the boost went up.  It seemed to be working up to a point as the car was running mega sweet with 2 mid to low 12\'s, so with a smell of touching 11, went for broke(no jokes please)  just cracked the boost some more, well a fair bit more and leaving the timing where it was(believe -05*).
 Initally set up normally was -10* @ 15psi, dropped it to -05* @ 15psi experimenting and felt good.... then threw the boost at it..
 The rest is history....
 
 Felt it... hhmmm difficult really.... man I had soo many little dramas with the car I wern\'t sure what it was really, but yes I did feel a big missfire/backfireing and some loss of power.. it was about full pelt in 2nd, continued in 3rd(as you do) but then had to give up as it was surely not feeling right....  she was still running seemingly ok funny enough.
Some of the bystanders said there was a lot of smoke, after the strip down with no other internal damage, I can now assume that it was unburned fuel smoke.. also explains the misfire/backfireing...

 I initally thought it was my coils fecking about again as I had a problem with coils just previous to this(long story). Basically I kept getting \'RPM error\' faults all the time and the timing was all over the place sometimes.. these were MT coils I had recently fitted when changed from the lt8 to lt12...
I have since gone back to the original T2 coils and seems ok till this mishap..
 I have now sent these coils to be tested to remove suspicion.

 Now after further consultation and inspection/measurements, I will be replacing the revelant Rotor Housing(front) as that is damaged(scored).

what about the intake stroke? exhaust stroke is not much to worry about. My spare engine(now) has three gashes on the exhaust stoke but just a slight gash onthe intake. You can definatly feel it cos it is down on comp.

[TRex]

Here you go m8, what do you reckon, I suppose you guys seen quite a few.
 Volia.......

depends if you are going for a cheap rebuild. Also if you are porting it and want to check if it all works use it. sand any rough edges back on the gouge. It is not something I like doing, for experimental work why use new parts?

[Timrxmotors]

You may as well use that housing,those marks aren\'t too bad.When you say you have -5 on the timing,is that referring to the T map screen? If so that is -5 from +25 on the T rpm screen,ie 20 degrees advance,which is way too much.
