827 Clutching

[breakingsomum]

Hi thanks for looking, I am currently in Isaland Park ID and trying to clutch my 827 with no luck so far cant seem to pull the rpms that im looking for, so here is what i have so far,
Tss04 team with 160-280 spring, 42degree helix, traIII primary 200-380 primary spring, 17.5 grams, clicker 6, 413 ramps, it only pulls 7600-8000 down low, 21-43 gearing, 7 tooth 3.0 drivers, I've tried lightening the primary to pull the rpms but then the secondary does not work properly, i have tryed a 160-260 secondary spring and a 160-300 but no luck what i have in here seems to be the best combo so far after a day wasted clutching the thing,
ANY HELP would be greatly apprecited thanks.

What jets are you running

Currently running 460 mains and 20 piolets dpm still engaged pulls 1250 or so on long pulls and climbs up, 2nd question what cans work with the 827 kit?? thinking of buying one.

 

[live2beel]

My friend's 827 runs 390's with dpm on really long pulls @ 6-8000 feet.

wash snd egts look great, pretty sure it in the clutching what is your friend running for primary weight??

 

[live2beel]

He runs a cat secondary. So I dont think I would be much help. I think your high EGT's could be raw fuel in the pie maybe. His are only1150-1175.

460's.. I am surprised it runs at all..LOL..

nothing more than a 390 with that kit.. You will chase clutching forever until you get the jetting corrected.

Sent you a PM. Didn't se that this was in a ZX sled. Big diff. between ZX & Rev Jetting.

 

[RKT]

03 ZX runs the same jets as the REV.. 01 and 02 run different.. but 03 ran 430's (If I recall correctly)

21-43 may be the problem

 

[breakingsomum]

Update was running 430 mains NOT 460's

Clutching may be fine, seems alot could be had just between jetting and gearing. Some 390's and a 19 or 20 tooth top and it might be a different animal

 

[breakingsomum]

gearing with drivers is a 2.26 gear ratio, going to try it out the jetting changes tommarow put 370 in to test with and moved needles will check wash and egt's tommarow let ya know what haqppens. thanks for all the replies

 

[live2beel]

Going from 430's to 370's is a huge jump. Work your way down a little at a time.
