HOW MUCH TORQUE TO MAKE THE STOCK CLUTCH SLIP

[Elamcup]

How much torque does it take to slip the stock ecoboost clutch?

Wasn't much for me. I have FBO PD tune. Without a dyno I should be around 380-400lbs. I have a spec stage 2+ I haven't installed yet as I want to add a drive shaft do around the same time.

So your clutch was slipping at less than 400 ft lbs.

I haven't had trouble with the HPP clutch (not sure if it's different, but probably not) running E30, but stock turbo.

I would guess at about 400 ft lbs.

I was getting some slippage on a Cobb stage 2 tune under the right conditions. Granted, it was usually when you would bog it where you shouldn't but that didn't leave me feeling that great about going any further on it. That would put you around 350-400 ft-lbs I estimate. Add the costs of going further with a NX2 turbo and upgrading the clutch and the cost started to outweigh the benefits after that level. Great car at the stage 2 level for not that much but once the upgrades started getting serious I decided it was more cost effective to start at a Coyote instead.

Can't say for sure, but Ford claimed to have revised the clutch on 2018+ EBs to handle increased torque.

400 ft-lbs lol. This is why I'm barely commenting here anymore.

And yet, here you are.

And yet I said barely. I'll highlight the most relevant example.
bare·ly
/ˈberlē/
Learn to pronounce
adverb
1.
only just; almost not.
"she nodded, barely able to speak"
Similar:
hardly
scarcely
just
only just
narrowly
by the skin of one's teeth
by a hair's breadth
by a very small margin
by the narrowest of margins
by a nose
almost not
by a whisker
Opposite:
easily
2.
in a simple and sparse way.

The definition of barely is not what is in contention here. I more find myself wondering why, if your pearls of wisdom are so incredibly rare, have you chosen to dump one here in a thread that has nothing to do with you, crapping on a discussion where nobody asked you about a subject matter you seem to understand little about?

Oh yah my bad.
Though I blocked the ecoboost forum.
No idea what that clutch can handle.
Carry on.

Sounds like Ford used the same clutch in all it's 4 banger ecoboosts.

Focus ST clutch starts to slip around 390whtrq.

I don't know what mine's making for torque, but my mods are in my signature. I haven't had any clutch slipping at all, even on a prepped track, though I don't have the stickiest tires in the world either.

I want to say it's derived from the old Pinto clutch but at least that one had a catch point you could feel.
