  • New VAST Clutches Pics vs old RS4

    Hey guys, I now have in my possession the new clutch setup from VAST. This is not the first clutch I have purchased from them. So here are some pics of old vs new.



    As most of you know, the old VAST clutches used the RS4 PP, well the new ones are completely designed in house, Andy agonized over every decision with regards to them, including what rivets to use. I think the outcome speaks for itself, the quality of the new PP is fantastic.

    OLD

    NEW

    NEW


    Note the differences in the old vs new kevlar clutch lining, the old kevlar disc in the pic came out of my stage 3 A6 after well over hundred 5k+ launches. It still held good power on launch, but started slipping under full boost at the top of 3rd and 4th



    Note the 8k RPM balancing marks on the FW, the FW is also slightly modified to accept the new pp



    We are going to be running the new stage 4 package in my single turbo 3L, the goal is to push the clutch and find out exactly where it slips, I am hoping to see at least 750whp with it, I will keep you all informed

    Please do! Info was sweet. I have never had a VAST clutch or PP.

        Just to let you guys know, price point is actually less than the old clutch packages

              I loved my old ceramic clutch that DJ has, this will be at the top of my list when my clutch goes! Is the new PP used on all clutches?

                whats the feel like on this setup?
                im running the southbend stage 4 with a resurfaced stock flywheel and sachs PP and it feels like it came from the factory like this. so delightful to drive in traffic.

                  I will tell you all about feel once I have it installed and broken in, my A6 is still in fabrication

                      Mighty tempting, I just pulled my engine again the other day, but my Stage 3 Vast setup is practically brand new. I think I'll keep it, certainly interested in how this package performs though.

                        I will keep you all updated, I am hoping that I can make enough power to get it to slip.

                            All I know is the BSN (*brand_spankin'_new) stg_III VAST (RS4) Clutch kit feels spanky with b5s4 stg3+ powa and I asked Jordan before this development if I could get teh same for my *newinbox RS2 transmission (code: CGR) transmission and he says NOOOOOOOOO from VAST.

                            Can it be done now?

                            Clutchmasters seems to be fail... is there a SPEC alternative?

                              No just the second one, I just haven't had much spare time or motivation to get it done in the last year or so, lol.
