Any significant increase in power (torque matters more than hp) is going to make your clutch wear faster. However, an intake and exhaust (even if that includes headers), is not going to get you 100 hp no matter how well its tuned... you have nothing to worry about.

luk clutches ive heard are good. but i gotta ask how are you planning on getting these 100 horses? a tune? i hope it involves boost because there is no way just a tune will net you anywhere close to those kind of gains

like stated above your power goal are way too astronomical for what you will actually get.

betting even with boost he's not adding 100 WHP with out a built engine.

~240whp is a 100whp increase with the eco and within the reach of a stock engine and supercharger.


Im at ~220whp(with the M62) and my stock clutch is holding just fine and i havent been nice to it either.




its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

i had 20K on my stock replacement clutch, @ 13psi for 10K and then 16psi for the other 10K and its finally gone. id guess about 300whp

i dk really hows hes gonna do it but he said itd be 100 so i just took his word..theres def not gonna be bolt ons i dont have the funds to do any of that..but what with a good tune in horse power wise would it give me? could it be really notice able or no?

if your not installing a turbo, that clutch will be fine with anything you are doing to it... a tune will get you a few hp but nowhere near 100hp.

if this guy mentioned he could "tune your car and get 100 HP"

Fuggin' run!

X2 stock car with a tune... You'll be doing awesome if you get 15hp out of it

Plus the intake and exhaust he mentioned, don't hope for anything more than 30hp. It will be noticeable, but nowhere near 100hp.

I'm just saying what the guy did..I'm kinda a noob at thgis stuff that's why I wanted your guys opinion

Even if you were to find the 100 HP, most stock clutches behave pretty well at 100 horse over stock. Honestly, the stock clutches in our cars seem to do just as good, if not better than most of the aftermarket high performance ones available.

Yes it will hold just fine. N20 people add an instant hit every time sprayed.
