So after my turbo blowing two weeks ago i got my Vrs back this morning with a Turbo dynamics Hybrid PD130 and a remap to 200bhp-ish

I didn't have the cash for a new clutch and the current one is the original clutch, hence the map being low on power.

It's done 30k as standard then 40k mapped to about 170, but is in good condition still.

So how long will my clutch last? or will it last the two months i need to get the cash for the clutch?

Already been warned not to accelerate hard in first or second, shock horror!

oddopends how you drive, may last a good while if you dont drive around flooring it all the time from low in rev rev range, should be ok if you pick the right gear when driving fast!

I rev match on down shifts and have never treated the Furby as a 0-60 drag racer so i can't see any issues just being paranoid i think.

should be fine for a wee bit yet atleast! espicially since its low miles anyway!

Surly it dont matter on the BHP!, what torque is it at? thats what is going to kill it

i was just going by the fact that he had 200bhp hed probably have circa 280-300lbs/ft of torque

Torque and power aren't confirmed yet, it was driven with data logging for the remap rather than put on a rolling road.

Estimates are around the 300lbft mark though.

I'll get her on a rr once i have a new clutch

Now?

or are we still running smooth?

Surely first and second are the best (most clutch friendly) gears to accelerate hard in. Moving the mass of the car with easy gearing and no wind resistance gives the drive train an easy time.

On the other hand, acelerating hard in 5th/6th, your engine will still be putting out the same torque, but will have massive resistance of much harder gearing to fight against and greater wind resistance to push against!

Accelerate using revs above 2500 not low down grunt, and it should be OK.

What he said. In first/second, the gearbox is converting much more of the torque your engine puts out into actual torque at the wheels, which will overcome the lower resistance and propel you forwards. Do it in 6th, and the torque is coming out of the engine but not being converted in the gearbox in the same way and not enough to overcome drag and other resistance, meaning that the link between engine/gearbox (i.e. the clutch) is having to do "something" with it. Hence it slips as one part simply isn't able to keep up and there's nowhere else for it to go.

As I understand it with my rudimentary understanding of drivetrains and physics, anyway.

Couple hundred miles in and running good so far, no slip

I've always been light on it anyhoo

I did the same thing bud. Blew up my turbo and replaced it with a hybrid pd150 and mapped it. Didn't have the funds to do the clutch at the same time so held off. I have only just replaced the clutch there after 7-8 months and the mechanic said there was still life left in the clutch So it is possible to conserve your clutch for a while. Not sure how much power the vrs is putting out now, as I didn't want to RR it till the clutch was done, but suspect it is about 215-220bhp with 330 ft/lb if I was guessing.
