F series transmission BP engine clutch?

Post by Edgar7654 »

I have a bp engine and it drives fine but when i step on the gas all the way it grabs and at 4500 rpms it slips i think? Basically my rpms go up fast but the car doesnt go any faster.... if it is a slipping clutch what clutches r good for the f series tranny with a bp soon to be turbo? I plan on installing the turbo i got after i fix this problem thank you for reading and god bless you!!!

I believe you are correct, the clutch is slipping. As for a replacement clutch, if you look in the WTB i believe someone does have one for sale.

Check the clutch when you pull it off. If it looks good, but is oily, then you may have an input shaft seal issue, and getting oil on your clutch.

That's what happened to me :(

also, what kind of power do you look to achieve? because you might want to look into getting a G-series tranny since it's stronger.
i think the f-series handle something like 250-300 but don't quote me on that
