PORSCHE 996 Clutch Upgrade

January 26th, 2010

Hello,
Just showing some video footages from Texas Mile, Back It Up TV Show. Very organized individuals put these races together. As you can see with my car, my clutch was slipping at 1000whp but I was pulling that 1000whp Ford GT that was supercharged and twin turbo’d so I had to let go off the throtle in top of 3rd gear to preserve it for the Top Speed runs (eventhough it still slipped but good enough to try it out) but it was fun.

Cheers and enjoy. Art

While the pressure plate for Porsche clutch was being under development, we have received the comments like above, unfortunately…..

Finally, New upgraded pressure plate for Porsche clutch is available now.

Here below are the results for the same Porsche 996!

CARBONETIC Triple Carbon Clutch with upgraded pressure plate: ACP23320-11

 

clutch was holding like glue. enjoy the video.

the clutch works awesome so far, grabs like none other.  We drove the car to Bakersfield all the way and broke the clutch without punching it hard.  We ran a few test runs since clutch was new and so was the tranny.  Due to poor condition at the track we could not hook the car but here are the results:

60ft was bad b/c could not hook : 2.5

1/8mph: 111mph

1/4 mile: 10.9s @ 144mph on mid boost only

We busted the front driver side radiator and headed back home. all good man.  Thanks, after I pick up the car next weekend I will do more testing.

Hello all,
Just wanted to share our new record with you guys. We were able to muscle out a new record for the Porsche world. We tried a few runs on low boost and hit 5.4 seconds which is 0.4seconds faster than a Bugatti just FYI. Betim asked me if we could get into 4s and then I told him to pull over. At 26 lbs we hit 4.7s. At 29lbs we hit 4.4s. Then the magical 4.25s came in at 31 lbs of boost. This run was completed on: 31 lbs of boost, two people in the car, no shifts, 50 degrees. I was able to break boost in 3rd gear and dead hook the tires after warming them up. We hit 130mph at 7400rpm and still had more room left. BBi has re-geared 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and with Protomotives magical touch (Tuning) it paid off. We now know that hitting 3 seconds is around the corner with more boost and no additional passenger in the car since it accounts for another 0.3-0.5s (depending on weight). Here is the graph.

Thanks for all the support!!!!!

Thank you so much for the great testimonials, Art! We are so confident to our new pressure plate!!

CARBONETIC Triple Carbon Clutch: ACM23380-11

 …extract…

…Being that the Carbonetic is carbon, the clutch is super easy to drive. Taking off from a stop, the clutch feels perfect….it’s not difficult, grabby, noisy etc. It was a pleasant surprise…..with the Carbonetic Triple, but the few that I did get it felt perfect. It’s very smooth…that’s a perfect way to describe how it felt….For now…I’m impressed and very happy with the Carbonetic Triple Carbon clutch and the AMS Master Cylinder Reinforcement ring.

CARBONETIC Carbon Rear LSD: ACMRB8710

The Carbonetic rear LSD performed flawlessly. Compared to using the factory
LSD, the new unit allowed our Evo to get on the power sooner and maintain a
tighter line. It helped a lot through the tighter turns and made for much
stronger corner exits. Our Project Evo IX ended up winning the Continental
Tires Evo vs. STI Shootout and took 4th place at the Super Lap Battle Street
AWD class the next day in its first outing with the LSD. Here’s to going
faster in the future!

Thanks,
Joey / The Octane Report
