DS3 Stage 5+

Are the splines the same on the friction plate?

Could do this instead of the racing clutch http://www.sachsperformance.com/Sach...rced::297.html

What do you mean exactly? I didn't catch your idea.

150thp clutches usually show signs of slipping at 200Hp

It's your own experience or you know any examples?
Guys from etuners.gr said that all their DS3's were built with stock clutch, including 300+ bhp (with no issues).

That's why i'm a bit confused.

Yes, it looks better than DS3R one.First of all because i'm not sure that DS3R flywheel and clutch will fit to THP150...

[Jamie@SPTuning]

I've tuned a lot of THP150/155 on the rolling road and 200hp/300Nm seems to be the point where clutch slip is evident. it's the low down torque that causes the clutch slip.


This car now has a paddle clutch fitted

Are you building on top of Racing or some other model? Racing has better clutch and gearbox than any other model.

Is the Gearbox not the same as in the THP155? O.o

[Cptn_Sol]

Ok, I can imagine where is the slippery in your case. 2500-4000 RPM - am i right? But It's minor and you can drive with it.

In my case after 4000 RPM (full throttle, 3rd gear) clutch starts to slip and in one second engine RPM increases to maximum.


So that's completely different problem...

Yes, it slips at lower rpm mainly but not good to drive. A fair few of the stage 1 tunes we have done show signs of small clutch slippage.
If stock clutches are good for 300Hp, then why did Citroen bother to uprate the clutch on the DS3 racing????

Jamie - Exactly what I was thinking, even with the uprated clutch the DS3Rs clutch can slip

Depends on what to call "good". Acceptable. Anyway I agree that I have to install sachs performance clutch.

And what about Peugeot RCZ-r?

[Dave]

Never driven one, not a car that really interests me, more of a hair dressers car
Also it prices itself out the market, you can get a second hand Cayman for the price, much faster, better logo, handles like a beast! And the engineering quality and reliability is sooooooo much better,

Cptn_Sol please is there any chance you can post dimensions of stainless steel and silicone pipes for Cupra FMIC you used?
I know stainless steel diameter is 60 but what is length and where to bend them?
Silicone are 3x45

° and 1x90°?
