New 996tt owner! A few questions too!
6speed, how are you?!
I am a happy new owner of a 2002 996tt and let me tell you, I have endless smiles!
The car was posted here in October when I purchased it, full maintenance records, PPI, the whole 9.
The car checked out great, new clutch (Sachs 2.5, Part# 99611602751 Pressure plate, LWFW, GT2 slave) was installed about 2k miles ago. I've put about 300 on it in my ownership. The car makes 492awhp thanks to Tony at EPL and is a MONSTER. I believe it makes more because it's holding 1.4 bar from 3.2k rpm on AMS k16s. But anyways that's not why I'm here.
CLUTCH QUESTION:
In 3rd or 4th gear from 3k, if I go full retard and not ease into the throttle the clutch will slip from 3k-4k then grab again at ~4.2k and hold to redline. When studying the dynograph the car makes 100% of it's torque by 4k, which is 700tq at the flywheel, 570AWTQ (this is according to Tony's handwriting on the graph itself). So, is it possible that for a short time the car is overpowering the clutch and when the torque begins to fall off it grabs again? The boost comes on viciously and could possibly use a re-tune to settle it down in the lower rev range.
The car has had the entire Master/Slave GT2 conversion and has MAYBE 500 miles on that. No leaks to be noted, nothing on the floor, no missing fluid, no wetness around seals.
Could the clutch not fully be engaging?
Also, Tony if you see this post, I did leave you a voicemail about maybe doing a re-tune for the boost to be more progressive through the rev-range.
You are all so very helpful, thank you for your time!
