i got myself a 5 spd xt turbo, 1986 and i need to put a new clutch in it. anybody have any suggestions on what kind to get, is there a certain type of aftermarket clutch that is good, or does anybody have one. i was also looking for some advice on a blow off valve of some sort, or if its worth it. I'll take any suggestions anybody can offer, thanks.

Well I used a rhino pac clutch on my RX and its turned out pretty strong. there good clutches. lso try centerforce those are pretty tough too. all depends on how much you want to spend. When you do the job its easer to pull the engine out or atleast foward then it is to pull the tranny. The clutch is pretty easy to change too. Good luck.

 

Soobs rock teh noobs.

Yeah, we've "clutch kicked" the poop outta that Rhino (dumping it going into a turn to drift...yes...drifting a Subaru:headbang: ) seems to be holding up fine, i guess.

 

A blow off valve??? I think you would have to run an intercooler set-up for that. [HTi]Johnson (my buddy) did it on his late GL 10. basically took a top mount intercooler from a WRX and fab'ed some brackets for it. He didn't use a blow-off valve, I guess it's more effiecent to run it back into the intake...or something like that (not all that savvy on teh turbo stuff) i believe the intercooler gets rid of the backspool too.

You don't want to vent a BOV to the atmosphere with our setup. It'll cause terrible off idle hesitation. You *can*, but I recommend against it. Runs better with a recirc valve.

Thanks , ill look into that, i dont want to do it twice
