What the EB clutch looks like.

[JJ@WMS]

For those that havent seen it already I wanted to show you what the EB stock clutch and dual mass flywheel look like.

We pulled ours out because it was giving up on the higher tq tune launches. We have sent it out to Mcleod so they can come up with a line of great clutches and flywheels for these cars. We will be working directly with them to make sure whats available works perfectly.

We will be getting rid of the dual mass flywheel as they are not prone to holding up to larger amounts of torque that we will be seeing. The trade off is a bit more drive train noise and feel in the car but the plus is getting rid of 60+lbs of flywheel and clutch for a lighter assembly. We will also be installing a Driveshaft shop CF driveshaft when its ready (we sent ours out to them as well for measurments etc..)

For now enjoy the pictures and let me know if you have any questions.

looks decently beefy from the factory. when you say higher TQ launches what kind of figures would you estimate?

That's a beefy setup! Looks like Ford knows people will be adding major power to the EB

Its beefy but wont hold up to 400ftlb/tq launches for long. Our car has about 30 passes on it and the diaphram was giving up on the harder launches.

Its our job to find the limits of the factory components so we can better advise our customers on what modifications they will need depending on the level of power they want to have.

The 'beef' is just from the dual mass design. Unfortunately there is no strength gained.

This is great info. Can't wait to see what McLeod comes up w/.

Could we get hard weights on the stock and aftermarket clutch/flywheel combos?

Once we have our replacement in hand we will provide that information.

Looks like it was getting hot spots on the flywheel from the pics, probably would not have held up much longer with those kinds of launches.
