Thanks Prodigy.


I was confirmed to have a shipment drop shipped to me this week.


When your car is down, a month just straight up sucks. I'm glad I didn't arrange the install without having it in my possession first. My installer is most likely thinks I'm full of it.


I look forward to this new setup though. I will install the GT2 Conversion from Evoms instead of piecing everything together. I hope that the milled bracket is a sure fit.

I installed the same ERP in my GT2 and love it. IMO perfect peddle pressure and will certainly hold the torque.

My GT2 sits at 750 FT# right now but in the shop for an extra 50-75 right now. I have never had a feeling of slippage at all. The peddle pressure is ~ 70-75% of the stock GT2 clutch.

So your saying that it is stiffer by 25% over your stock clutch?

NO - less peddle pressure. I was familar with RPS via my vettes and discovred they made clutches for Porsche under ERP, cant ask for a better group of folks to deal with.

Very nice. Good info and much clearer.


Could you share some lead times on both purchases? Was your Vette Clutch delivered faster?

Cannot remember, I sold the vette 2 yrs ago and the GT2 was in the middle of a major build. If you call RPS direct they will give you straight answers, I believe the owner is Rob.

RPS will not sell Porsche clutches direct.

Everything was installed 2 weeks ago. Drive home from the shop was a little rough when clutch started to engage (didn't stall it though.) Drove the car tonight for an hour and it has smoothed out.


ERP triple clutch:


The clutch does make some noise with sport mode off, with sport mode on it tames down to almost silent.
I have noticed that when car accelerates in a lower gear, the clutch is loud. Reminds me of my grandfathers old ford truck.


Clutch also has a higher engagement point. This literally is just before the clutch is completely out. It feels like I have a half of inch of engagement. I have moved my seat back to help with this change.


GT2 conversion:


Made the clutch much stiffer.
Feel of the clutch is much better. (Don't know if it is the weight of the pedal now that is giving the clutch more feedback or the actual conversion.)
Stopped my paranoia of a failure (next will be the coolant elbows.)


At the end of the day, this was a great (Expensive) upgrade. I will have to practice with this new setup if I want to launch the car though. Seems to be tricky at this point.

The loud noise is disappointing. Which flywheel did you go with?

The noise is noticeable. I have used both the Aluminum Flywheel and Steel one with the ERP Triple Carbon and GT2 Conversion. However for me, definitely worth it. You really only hear it when stopped at a light without the clutch depressed.
