downimpact Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Haven't had the car long so not sure if this is normal? I think not hence the post. I've noticed that when i put power on at anything revs, the revs will jump up then drop by about a thousand then pull again as the turbos spool. This isn't really the result of lag is it? As surley the revs shouldn't drop? Unfortunatley i don't have a boost gauge as the car is stock. It alos seems to require about 2-4 revs in first to get the car off the line at anything aproaching normal speeds. Any ideas? Getting worried.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 auto or manual, educated guess would be manual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 sounds like slipping clutch to me, be carefull longer you leave it and harder it slips, you may put heat spots on your fly wheel and have to change that too. Accerlarate slowly once moving and see if the revs go up correctly whilst moving faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 my thoughts were clutch slipping, just checking it wasn't something the turbos or something. Any ideas of cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 price of clutch + labour which should be about £180 so i reckon for OEM clutch from 3rd party supplier not Toyota, but maybe partco. bout £450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 any possible upgrades? better clutches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 ive limited knowledge on that as i have a NA. Depends what your wanting to do power wise? also whether you like the feel of standard etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Haven't had it long enough to feel the standard seemed fine first 2 days i had it then seemed to slip when i planted it in 6th after cruising on the motorway. Big power is the way i'll eventually want to go, but anything that'll speed up gear changes or hard waring or light weight would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
