The Viggen pp can certainly take a decent amount of power when paired with the right disk. The po of my car put down 286whp/340wtq last year...clutch doesn't slip, although I doubt it will anytime soon with a spec stg3 disk.

 

what about when i'm running 375hp, with my soon to be gt28rs turbo and all the go along goodies?

 

Well I think Mike S is still using a Viggen PP with his gt30'd 900...ask him what he thinks

 

Palmer has a 300+ (mustang dyno)whp 9-3, it has a Viggen PP, although it was slipping on the dyno.

 

I ran the stock Viggen disc and plate for 2+ years with 280 lb-ft, then 390 lb-ft...

No slippage, and the disc looked OK when I took it out earlier this year. The car's getting a SPEC disc and the same Viggen PP when it goes back together....

 

Yes, I need a new disc soon. Probably a spec...


I'll be staying with the viggen PP though.

 

i would say that the vig PP should hold until around 450 whp. nick is approacing 400 whp and it is still holding fine.

 

alright thanks guys.

think I should get GS' aluminum flywheel to go along with it all?

 

alright thanks guys.

yes do it when you doing the clutch cause you will regret it if you don't down the road when you have to install it or have to pay again to have it installed.

 

cool, thanks again? the GS fly weighs 7.5lbs i think?! that's a big diff from stock, ne performance increase?

 

rev's will increase faster. no HP gains think of it along the same lines as weight reduction.

 

faster revs= faster accel?? right

 

ya, and the car will be more touchy. the add mass from the stock flywheel made the car not as jerky when you let off the gas and hit the gas.

 

You will losing alot of rotational mass, and you will notice major increase on RPM response. It will rev up faster compared with the stock flywheel.

 

loss of mass=loss of momentum overall right?

 

ya

 

With the setup your thinking about going with for power you'll probably be making 3rd part of the spinning gear collection.

 

FWD with lots of torque is a bitch.(will be anyways)

 

i know this is off-topic but with the set-up I'm running now, about 310hp. You guys think a b18c5 integra type r motor in a civic hatch all motor stock could take me from a roll? because some guy i know keeps telling me that and i know he probably has power/weight ratio over me but that motor only puts out i think 197bhp?

 

1997 Acura Integra Type R 0-60: 6.5 1/4 mile: 14.7

my stage 3 tools the shit out of that....soooo thats a negative.

 

Go have fun with him. Its all about the driver in the end. You could have the best car hands down but still loose a race whether it be a roll or from a dig. Just go have some fun.

 

x2

fwiw I had a run in with an integra gs-r last weekend. He wanted to go from a 40mph roll...he didn't stand a chance. I think you'll do ok

As with any clutch if you are installing on an old flywheel that is not flat it will not hold as much for quite a few miles until it wears in. Anyway make sure to use brake clean on the plate and FW to eliminate any oil. Also give it 300 miles or so of easy driving. Don't slip it too much or full throttle it until is is bedded in. Otherwise you will glaze the disk and that is hard to recover from.

 

Are you running 310hp or 310 whp? Is this a guesstamate or is this what your car dynoed at? I'm speculating since you are installing a new PP that you are rebuilding your motor as well? Are you shooting for 375whp?

 

310hp, pretty much rebuilding, and yes 375

 

As mentioned before, if you are shooting for 375 whp which would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 425hp do not forget forged pistons.
Have fun and good luck.

 

oh yeah, already got them sitting in my room =) thanks

 

i made the integra type-r look absolutely useless =)

 

the integra type-r is absolutely useless =)

Fixed.

Nice kill!

 

lol,thanks. felt good

 

how much hp/ft lbs does a stock oem vig clutch hold up to? i'll be running a stage 4 setup soon and i'm having some tranny work done within the next week... so i figured id throw in a new clutch while the mechanic has the tranny out. shave some weight off the fly and maybe oem vig clutch kit? i don't plan to go anything higher than stage 4/5

 

I believe the stock viggen kit holds 330 ft lbs.

 

What ever happened to swedish_02 who said in a few posts that he was going to build an all wheel drive saab, or even put in a cosworth motor because he "had the money" and didn't care what people thought. What a joke!

 

That's the way most plans that are "in the works" end up. Ask Saab9-3USA about this $1000/month budget built for his convertible. Where did that end up? He should be like $12,000 deep into it by now!

 

LOL - that thread was a good re-read, thank you for reminding me of that lms!

Post # 43 is fucking classic!

alright guys. this has turned into a bashing thread. Listen, there's no reason to insult or put down one's ideas(this instance being mine) just because you see it different. I have the money and an extra car, so really it's not a problem for me to do. I want the looks and interior of my Saab but some things I want different. And when did my turbo'd '02 9-3 SE HOT turn into a NA car? I started this thread to get some constructive advice, not to have stuff thrwon back into my face. If you don't like this thread and don't have anything to say that's constructive then leave the thread, please. I will be doing the conversion, and what's to make you think I won't? You don't know anything about me?

Thanks to all who gave good advice or constructive criticism.
