turbo Grant Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 you must have that engine in now. pics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Lol nope was an epic fail lol. the clutch wasnt alined right (didnt have a tool) so had to pull it back out as the clampforce of the orc is to great to shimmy the plate with the car in gear. then broke the only bastard tool that fit the allen bolts doing the preasure plate back up lol. Also looks like the oem release bearing will not rlease the clutch fully so in desperate need of an orc or blitz active one! So gave up will have another bash in the week as i havnt the time atm. few pics though to keep you goin till the engines in.My modded sump (thanks grant ) Sneaky peek at the p/p head before its hidden by the intake and my lil brother helping clean the block and swap the sumps and strainers. he gets excited when he see's the super sexy crank and full arp bottom end. tbh so do i lol thats all for now till i get a mo to drom the lump in...........again! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 was that orc one i gave you no good short man? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sure my mate is haveing the same trubble with his orc cluch on his evo im sure he's been told he has to space the release bearing out abit so or something so that it fully engages not sure if the same applys with yours?

shorty Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Ye not the right one marc and yea micky there is a mushroom like spacer built into the orc ones. Blitz active and exeedy hyper single clutches use the same bearing if that helps your mate ;) i jist need to trackdown some one with stock of the starlet one as every where seems to be out atm. is no biggy as rhd is my last resort as they have em but i dont want to pay their price haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thats what i got off you bud.However i bought this ages ago before i fitted the clutch from some jap tuner phoned em when i got it and told the guy this isnt what i wanted and had a huge row but he refused to take it bk as he swore its what i needed when the two are put together. i think they guy was right (bugger lol) as this looks like it will work? It turns the oem bearing into essentialy a bigger unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
