I got no useful help in the Drivetrain forum, so thought I'd hit up my Canadian cohorts.

Long story very short: Clutch gave up clamping power while tuning my new motor build.

Looking for advice on specific models known to be solid for ~600ft/lb of torque while maintaining decent drivability.

Anyone have a suggestion? My local shop deals Exedy and ACT but I'm open to anything that'll work. Reliability is my highest criteria.

Cheers

 

I use exedy twin carbon... Love it

 

Are those sprung or unsprung discs?

How much torque are you making?

How is engagement?

Thanks

 

Sprung-currently 520lbs-rough break-in period, stock feel engagement once broken in.

 

I run the JWT clutch & flywheel package ... I think the most I put on it was 450whp...but no complaints thus far.

it's stiffer than OEM but I don't mind...

 

+1

I'm over 700HP and it still holds like a champ.

 

That's insane!

 

I thought that with those power levels a multi plate clutch was a necessity.

I'll email JWT for further info on torque capacity.

 

For anyone interested, I have ordered the OS Giken triple plate. Should be here in a couple weeks.

Cheers

 

Its necessary when you have awd and lots of grip
With rwd you will break tires lose so you get away with single plate
I have jwt on my powerlab single turbo if it slips Im going southbend stage 4 6 puck
I had exedy triple on my fully biild Evo x spend 3k$ and I had to rebuild it after 10k miles
