Hi,
Just wanted to let you guys know about my experience about the XTD Clutch.
I have a 1987 Toyota Supra 7M-GE --> 2JZ-GTE single turbo converted with the W58 gearbox. Aprox 400whp @ 1 bar. (Driftmotion turbo kit.)
I bout the XTD Stage 4 clutch and flywheel kit.
First of all, all the parts looked/felt like bad quality parts. The clutch center tool was broken when i opened the box etc.
Pedal felt like stock.
In the 500 km break in period the clutch was working alright. Chattered sometimes but was overall very drivable.
After the break in period i tried to push it some. And the clutch did not held up at all. Even the smallest launch and the clutch slipped like crazy. Shortly after that, the clutch slipped at WOT in every gear. (See video) [video]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0KM5ZXPdENXT0FtWEhVZXhQNVk/view?usp=sharing[/video]
The clutch was supposed to hold 550NM, and it did not. The stock clutch held better than this one.
And yes, the pedal was correctly adjusted. Boost was set at 0.6bar / 10psi under the break in.
I send "aimcoclutch" an email about this explaining what happend, hoping to get a refund. Since it clutch came with 2 years warranty. But they didn't even answer.
Bought the ACT Extreme clutch from driftmotion and its awesome. Grips like hell and no chatter. Almost like driving with a stock clutch except the pedal is a bit heavier.
My advice is to stay away from POS clutches like XTD, and by a proper one. Changing the clutch ain't the funnies job to do ;-)
