Clutch Break In
Hey guys. So hopefully this weekend or early next week I will be breakin in the new clutch, and I have a few questions about it. First off, length of break in. I've heard its a 500 mile deal, but I read a writeup on tuners that said 300 miles. What do you guys think? I think I may just go 500 to be safe, but if there's no reason to then I wont. Its supposed to be city miles too right? Stop and go so the clutch is getting used plenty? Lastly what about gas? I will be running a 16g at stock boost (10 psi) and FP2 cams, but since I wont be beating on it at all, think I can get away with running something cheaper? Definately not 87, but think 91 or even 89 would work?

Re: Clutch Break In
Unless you're cheating the ECU with an octane reset mod, and plan on keeping it out of boost, NEVER pump "regular person" gas.

Re: Clutch Break In
I'm not using an octane reset mod, but you shouldnt boost anyway while breaking in the clutch, so this is why I thought I could get away with it.
The clutch disc is "metallic button clutch disc" and here is the link: http://www.clutchnet.com/product.php...6&cat=0&page=1

Re: Clutch Break In
There really isin't much of a break in with that type of disc. I would drive it normal for a few hundred miles just to be sure but it wont matter to much. Also when you break in a clutch you can boost the motor. As long as your not dumping the clutch or shifting hard boost wont hurt anything. Once the clutch is locked in, a little boost isint going to make it slip.
