X3 Clutch Tune = Budget Horsepower Increase!!!

[@johnhall5676]

0:16 0:18 hey guys can this clutch kit for a 2011 Polaris RZR 800s model

[@eljefe2564]

The guy who did my clutch tuning on my RZR told me to also let my car idle for 5-10 minutes after heating up the belt in any way to allow it to cool down without just killing the motor. My belts have been lasting way longer even with the tuning.

[@DandiOffroad]

Yeah I'm bad about that, I forget. I try to remember that but

[@geraldhawkins2643]

Kms performance it is!!!!!! Awesome video the guy really knows what he’s doing !!

[@DandiOffroad]

He sure does and it shows! He is one of those guys that you don't want to stop talking to!!! And thanks for taking the time to comment - it is much appreciated!!! 🤗

[@toordog1753]

Nice, i have the turbo rr with 195 hp, i just added exhaust and strait pipe to the exhaust. I immediately noticed a huge difference, had to of easily thrown it over 200hp. I want to do the clutch like this, id be movin!

[@DandiOffroad]

Clutching goes a long ways. We currently run the Evo weights and springs. They're good about matching a clutch tune to the ECU tuning you have

[@scoobydew6327]

Very interesting and great explanation going to add to the list of many other things to do to the new Max before next season

[@DandiOffroad]

Awesome! We are so stoked to have had the opportunity to work with @KMS Performance and @MTS Off-Road!!! Car feels amazing, looking forward to Pismo in a few days!!!

Lol, silly 😝

[@kevingoodrich3050]

Great HP gain, you should balance the primary. Mine was 12 grams off on the outside of the primary and 7 grams off on the inside.

[@DandiOffroad]

Thank you, and thanks for commenting. I'll definitely look into that, good info.

[@RC-qh9wj]

What company balances X3 clutches??

[@markmanning6773]

Great Stuff. I actually already have a well known competitors clutch kit but I am intrigued by the floating secondary spring. Can one purchase just the spring or remove the tangs on the spring I have? Thanks

[@DandiOffroad]

I would say give KMS a call, they are SUPER helpful and would be glad to answer any questions you may have.

[@sedano1000]

Good video im trying to buy it but web page is not working, do you know if they have a different web page?

[@DandiOffroad]

This video is a couple of years old. That clutch was a great setup but we no longer run it. We currently buy all of our parts from evolution powersports great products, great r&d.

[@jamesstinett6291]

Thank you very much sir! There was so much awesome information to cover - glad you enjoyed! And still so much more to come, just glad we got to be a part of it!

I’m interested in the dyno clutch service, where is your shop located? I’m in AZ.

[@DandiOffroad]

This video is from 3 years ago. We now use Evo products. You would need to contact KMS Performance for any of their products

[@Calen11708]

I'm barely getting into the SxS world and am also planning on getting a X3 Max in the future and I'm curious. Why did Can-Am make their clutch spring with the hooks wound up as opposed to how that new clutch spring you guys installed? I'd love to have more HP but what's the reasoning on not allowing the helix to free float? Thanks!

[@DandiOffroad]

It's a matter of wether or not you want to keep applying attention on the belt on the secondary or not. That's a good question for a clutch tuner. However our clutch tunings are happening as we add more horsepower

[@ThatCarGuyEddie]

Wow great video. Any idea if this is effective on 21 RR? Or is the stock RR clutch different? Thanks!

[@DandiOffroad]

Clutching can be effective on all models. We now run Evo ECU tuning and clutching on our cars. When upping HP its definitely needed, but can be helpful on a stock car our.

[@baileyleitch1994]

Is this kit out on the market yet?

[@DandiOffroad]

You would need to reach out to KMS, we are no longer associated

[@jrobles1019]

Did brp address clutch issues on later models? I have a 2021 double R w 32”s and it has no problems moving

[@DandiOffroad]

They have improved the clutch over time for sure. But we still end up tuning them for the HP that we tune the ECU at. We can never leave good enough alone :)

[@kurtmcmichael2045]

That’s exciting

[@DandiOffroad]

Our sentiments exactly!

[@CLARKSCANADIANOUTDOORS]

I'm in toronto Canada and have the 900 h.o x3 so I need all the power I can get. How can I get this clutch work done without hauling the machine down there.

[@DandiOffroad]

I don't think they have an installer near you. Are you just looking for a kit or do you need someone to install?

[@CLARKSCANADIANOUTDOORS]

@@DandiOffroad with some patience and time I guess I could install the kit myself

[@DandiOffroad]

Or if you have any local mechanics that can work on the clutches at all it's just a matter of replacing weights and springs.

[@hardinautosalesllc]

Question; why still use two oem weights.

[@DandiOffroad]

He mentions in the video at 10:57 the reason for the particular weights used in this particular tune

Thank you!!!

[@trevorbraden5448]

Will this get rid of the low RPM chatter that makes your rear-end feel like it's going to fall out..... and then goes away at higher speeds........I got a brand new 2021 RC.turbo RR and it just started doing it at 20 miles....... the whole rear-end shacks and is clunking at low speeds

[@DandiOffroad]

I have not seen a side by side yet that doesn't have that chatter. Definitely not, but we are at 3500 miles with that chatter and still going

[@trevorbraden5448]

I'm not sure but I am sure Kelly or Steph can answer that. www.kmsperformance.com/

[@CD5CHAMP7]

Ive got a 21 x3 rc turbo rr. Would it need these clutch mods?

[@DandiOffroad]

Most machines can benefit form a clutch tune, but it kind of depends on how you are using it.

[@dorich33]

Do you have a kit for a 2019 Xrc sport?would be nice to get a few more HP out of it.

[@DandiOffroad]

We don't carry parts, we just make the videos

[@edgarestrada8494]

How has this clutch kit and tune been? Is everything still working good?

[@DandiOffroad]

The clutch kit and the tune have been amazing. If I am not mistaken we were at about 1,200 Miles when it was installed, we are at about 2,000 now, trouble free and hauls the mail. Video coming out this weekend is a newer clutch setup that Kelly just came out with for duneing.

The 91 octane power package is a complete package including the clutch kit to match the ecu tune.

So with this kit there is no need for the full float mod?

How does a person get ahold of this guy to talk to him and buy kit from him. Thanks Dan

[@DandiOffroad]

To be honest with you we don't run that clutch anymore. We went to Evo tunes and we run the matching clutch setup for our Evo tune.

[@danjohnson5476]

@@DandiOffroad You were not happy with the KMS set up? What do you think you gained from the EVO tune? Thanks Dan

[@DandiOffroad]

The KMS setup we had at that time was great. However we decided to try a little more HP and for our own R and D as well as Video went through the stages of EVO tune available for our car. We are now at a level of HP that KMS just didn't offer at the time. We now run all EVO and use the clutching that match the ECU tune that they provide. Keep in mind that EVO spends tons of ours on R and D so when they offer a tune and the clutching to match, well.

[@DandiOffroad]

Right?! We are super stoked with our results - we WORKED THIS CAR OVER in the Pismo dunes today and WOW! That's all we both keep saying, lol 😁😎🏁

[@DonziGT230]

The explanation about the secondary seems like a lot of contradiction/BS. There's not enough spring pressure stock to keep the belt from slipping, but there's so much that it won't let the belt slip on deceleration. The new spring lets the belt slip on deceleration, but without reducing engine braking because the helix is keeping the belt from slipping...which is what the stock spring supposedly does, which is supposedly bad.

[@DandiOffroad]

Thanks for commenting, that was a couple of years ago and that is a conversation best had with KMS, we just made the video. We have gone to Evo stage5 and other clutch weights and springs at this point. But I can say that clutch setup did work quite well.

Hi I have a 2023 maverick Turbo RR with some upgrades and want to know what else is needed to 20 xtra ponies? Thanks

[@normaenriquez3717]

WOULD YOU GIVE ME A SPECIFIC BRAND OF ROKETS?

[@Jwesingle66]

Can you do the same to the Maverick X3 XRC Turbo RR and gain the same HP ?

[@DandiOffroad]

I wish I could answer that. I have seen a 2017 put down 17 more HP after a clutch kit install but I can't speak for the car you are asking about. I can tell you for sure that clutching can make a big difference. But in this case are are changing the HP output so we needed to match the clutching with that change

[@josue0012000]

What the original Horse power of your x3

[@DandiOffroad]

It's a 17 so it's rated at 154 horsepower. It dynoed at 129 horsepower to the wheels.

[@miguelmora7000]

I living on San Diego ca somebody around.?

[@silverviper2184]

I have a base model can am x3. So if i do your clutch tune first and then decide to get the machine up to 195 hp, will I have to spend more money to tune the clutch again?

[@DandiOffroad]

No.. get the dunner tune from KMS and them when you are ready ECU tune that baby.

[@alvaromartinezagmilmoro8683]

Where I can get the flat spring for the secondary

[@DandiOffroad]

That was part a clutch tune that was done by KMS. When tuning a clutch you need to use all of the components provide buy a tuner in combination.

[@y0manda]

240HP on 91 . DETONATION

[@DandiOffroad]

I must apologize for confusing you with my editing, although he did mention that this would include some engine modifications. However, I did leave out what type of modifications obviously leading you to believe that the horse power numbers he mentioned would be achieved with additional boost or increased compression ratio. However, that is not the case so as you obviously would understand, that much power with other types of modifications would not necessarily lead to “DETONATION on 91” as you mentioned. More of that video to come so thank you so much for being a part of the Dandi Offroad Adventure and subscribing, commenting, and watching. We love the interaction with our Dandi Family.

[@brienhalverson1956]

You are full of shit, a torsion spring is far better then a compression spring, the problem is the stock helix is to steep. the torsion spring keeps the rollers on the helix, the compression does not, and that`s why people break rollers. strange your the only guy that changes out the torsion spring. KWI and ibexx, 2 of the best clutching shops do not change the spring to a compression. All you had to do is change the helix for 150 dollars.
