went and looked at a s13 ca18det for daily lapper, and noticed during the car revving through gears the car revs out for about 2 grand, not really going anywere, then when getting into higher revs, it grabs and pulls away. is this tell tale signs of a buggered clutch?

any help would be awesome

cheers guys

got it in one mate, dont go near it. buyin a car with a screwed clutch is the worst thing you could do, because you dont know why it is slippin in the first place. it could be oil from the rear main, oil from the crack in the bell housing or just straight up good old fashioned abuse. Wont know until you pull it out. Changin a clutch in those cars is a piece of piss though.

mine went more the other way, grabbed ok in the lower gears but when in the taller gears and trying to overtake people, it would just slip. was a extreme clutch, chewed out the flywheel and pressure plate but clutch plate ok!

I think I have the same problem as Pal - but to me it tends to happen when i hit higher boost/rpm in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Is this still the Clutch-o giving way? Or something along the lines of the flywheel???

PLEASE HELP!!!??!!!

I have only recently had a power upgrade, and when I'm driving normally its fine, but since i have a laggyish turbo, when it hits full boost the rpm starts to skyrocket to redline but no more power gets put to the ground... Its very annoying.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
