If it trully is simply, fuel economy, then mine will be a fixed system as soon as i can get it done. I'll let go of some mileage any time to get a smoother engagement. I use mine in th etwisties and having the SC be so "on-off" can be rough to handle. i know that is inherent in SC engines, but that is the pig I chose.

I'm not sure, but recent rumor has it at about 1500 revs/min. I personally think there is more to it than just RPM. Isn't that what adaptive driving is all about? I assume it is "programmed" to turn on and off. The main issue I would have with having it be fixed is the safety feature of shutting it down when the temps rise. I would need to setup a separate temp system or something. To be honest, I doubt i would be the one pioneering such a mod. I am just cusrious is all.
I'm still after a 170mm with nice dampening.

I think it's more than just removing a clutch, meaning the whole ECU has to be remapped, not to mention the clutch is probably one of the important pieces that the ECU chooses how the car is run. Too complicated for me, I'm used to roots type blower with no clutch, so I can say I'm still living in the stone age. hahahahaha.
