I currently have a JWT clutch and flywheel and am going turbo with a built motor. anyways i want to know if i have to swap out the clutch since the motor is coming out anyways. Basically i will be around 500whp mostly drivin in the 400 range and 540 from time to time anyways and input is appreciated thanks!

 

I have about 8000 miles on my jwt clutch and flywheel. About 5000 of those miles were at 350hp, and 3000 miles at around 450hp. It seems to be holding up ok.

 

I had 636rwhp and 10,000 miles on my clutch...

 

Do you know which one you have because JWT makes one that can hold 700 or more i think. I've had mine for 22000miles at 440 or higher. It spun on me once when i raced my friends M5 after that it has never slipped.

 

Hows the pedal feel on that combo, heavy?

 

it is harder than stock but you get used to it. I got it from performance nissan so which ever one they stock is the one i got how do i know which one i have, i can check when the motor is out...

 

Ive got one sitting in my house waiting to go on the car, but as the weather is so bad in the UK, im not getting chance to really get the other one to slip. That being said, the stock clutch only slips every once in a while, might as well get my money out of it!

 

yes, which ones do you guys have?

 

Your clutch wiil be fine.............

 

WA2GOOD, how much torque can it accomodate? Can't seem to find the exact number anywhere....

 

I ran the JWT clutch with 467rwhp and abused it really really bad, never had a problem with it slipping. The only time I was able to make it slip was when I checked to see if it could hold for a 2nd gear burnout from a complete stop on regular dry pavement with 295 drag radials. Not many clutches would hold that tho.

 

Not sure of the exact tq. number (can find out for you) that the clutch will hold, but I have pushed the limits on several JWT clutch equipped cars ranging from 400-625+ whp, never any issues. We did have one issue on our 800+ whp "monters G" with this clutch, we burned it up on the dyno... , but pretty sure that would have happened with most any clutch.

 

I've got a 1500kg pressure plate and ceramic disc from JWT that I will be testing in our drag car.. We plan to put around 850hp to the pavement.. and 27x10" slicks..

This is great news. I'm running a JWT clutch and was worried that I might have to change it out.

 

thnx for the post ppl... I will be going with this.

 

are you guys talking about the heavy duty version? i thought they made 2 different ones for the z...

 

We have been working with JWT on some new clutch UNITs to hold over 700WHP...Both single and dual

Will get details to you soon.
We have 3 of them for our High WHP cars...Pretty cool.

NOTE:
It is very difficult to find a clutch that is streetable that can hold 700WHP.

The ATS triple disc will hold 700whp EASY and it's VERY streetable. IT's also VERY expensive.

As for me, my JWT is holding great with 10K+ miles on it at well over 400rwhp.

 

ATS setup is the most streetable of the heavy duty clutch/flywheel packages.

We have installed numerous JWT clutches, and pedal pressure is near stock...maybe just a tad stiffer. Clutch feel will also depend on the condition of your clutch fluid, and any potential air in the system. Some pedals will feel harder than others.

With standard off the shelf JWT clutch, I usually recommend them for mild FI builds only. If you road race, you can probably get pretty good life out of them. Aggressive slipping and drag racing will tear them up much faster.

 

I agree. How much is my price for the ATS Sharif? PM please...We put one on Eagle's and it was over $2k! Ouch...
