SPEC clutch update

[IvanJonn]

None so far! Going into 1st can be a little chattery at times, if not done precisely right. But I have to say it's held up. I was tuned for E35ish, by Derek, and made 355hp. And the clutch held! Running the gtx2860r.

Sick! Sounds like an awesome setup! I'm actually gonna get custom tuned from him sometime soon. I'm running the W1 turbo right now.

It's running even better now! Getting the meth injection part of the tune finished up now can't wait to see how much more it can be pushed.

Just ordered the upgraded CMC! They were quick to respond.

Nice! Sounds good! Is your engine all built up too?

Nope

But the stock block on the SI has proven to hold at high numbers so far. I do intend to invest in a built block. Probably when MAP releases theres.
My fx350 will probably give before the block does, I'll need a better clutch down the road for sure.

CMC coming in today!

I'm curious, for you guys, are you running the CDV with this setup still? They still recommend removing it along with the CMC upgrade but there are also a lot of people who recommend leaving it in. It's like a 50/50 opinion.

What do you guys think?

Just FYI, TSP has the Willwood CMC on their site: https://twostepperformance.com/spec-master-cylinder-upgrade-kit-for-2016-honda-civic-1-5t/

Oh nice to know they have it up on their site now who want the upgrade. I believe for those who have the kit just need to go through SPEC directly for the discounted pricing.

Had mine removed by their recommendation before the CMC release. Didn’t fix the lockout at the time.

So are you running the new CMC right now with the CDV delete? I actually read it's a one way restrictor. It restricts flow when releasing the clutch, not when pressing it in. So I wouldn't assume it would have helped with the lockout. Right?

Can’t say for sure, but that would make sense. All i can say is the new CMC got rid of it completely

I really really hope this fixes my issues in shifting. Before the upgrade, did you somewhat feel like the clutch was never fully disengaging even during normal driving?

You running stock shifter parts right now? Or anything aftermarket like Acuity?
