I have no idea on what set up to go for.
I'm coming out of a RSX-S and I had the Exedy lightened flywheel and clutch, but that was N/A. What setup do you guys recommend?

 

Dude, I got out of my DC5 too. (same name on cRSX).


If you can spend the cash, go ATS carbon.

If not, there's some other clutchs like ACT.

Flywheels, I'd suggest the Nismo.. It's heavier, but you wouldn't want an extremely light flywheel.

I'm using a ACT 6puck with Nismo Fly. G35 6mt

 

I have the ATS dual carbon clutch/flywheel (All clutches are supplied with flywheels as combo's). I love it. I would highly recomend it if it is within your budget. It' a really great product.

Thanks guys.
I do like the "Expensive" ATS, But I think it might be overkill for my power goal 450-460rwhp.

What do you guys think of this setup: http://store.yahoo.com/sgpracing-sto...idudiclki.html

 

Overkill? Not really. I went through a ATS single carbon clutch in 32 days. Tore it up, as in non functional. Not even rebuildable.

Your going to be putting out some massive torque. 450-460 rwhp is no joke. Torque should be approaching 500 ft lbs. The ATS twin is not overkill. It's the best clutch you can use if money is no object.

I checked the link.... you can get an ATS dual for the same price, and carbon is much easier to drive. It doesn't give you any info... clutch material, sprung or unsprung hub, pressure plate rating etc. No real way to evaluate.

Twin clutch 1,100Kg(Standard or TypeR) = 700 Flywheel HP

Twin clutch 1,350Kg(Standard or TypeR) = 900 Flywheel Hp

According to the link these two are the same price right?

Kg, what effect does this have? (pedal feel or just the amount of pressure on the clutches)

Whats the difference between the Standard and TypeR?

Lightweight or standard flywheel?

Which one would suit me the best?

 

i dont think 450 whp is safe on stock internals at all...your pushing your luck

 

If I blow it, I'll build it.
And plus there are a couple FI running between 450 and 500 on a stock block.
I'm not to worried with the UTEC and a good tune.

 

The weight of the pressure plate determines the clutches tourque holding capacity, and affects pedal feel.

As per ATS website:

Standard Maintains even and smooth operation regardless of the disc temperature. Most popular choice.

Type R The delivered torque increases sharply at or above a certain disc temperature. When severe operation like a racing start is repeated, causing the disc to heat above a certain temperature, the shuddering becomes noticeable and half clutching becomes less frequent. When discs cools, the smooth operation is restored. The Type R disc is suitable for drag racing.

Soft Even though the horse power rating goes down by about 30 %, Soft type provides a stock like clutch operation without sacrificing any other excellent carbon clutch characteristics. If you mainly drive on the street and do not push your car to the limit frequently, this soft type might be for you. It is gentle to your motor, transmission, and driver. It also has less shattering noise. The soft type uses non carbon coated floating plate(s). The carbon plates are same as the standard type.

CCM CCM (carbon coated metal) pressure plate / flywheel delivers more torque than standard metal pressure plate / flywheel.. The carbon coating was first introduced to the pressure plate for our single carbon clutch (Pro spec). Currently the application is offered as an option for the pressure plate for ATS twin/triple clutches and for all the ATS carbon clutch flywheels. CCM flywheel - +$90.00, CCM pressure plate - +$90.00

Weight flywheel.... The standard flywheel is a good compromise between the lightweight, and the heavy. The lightweight is harder to drive in a daily driver as the clutch is harder to modulate, but the motor will rev freely. Drag starts are much harder with the lightweight. The lighter the flywheel the mire chatter below 2000 rpm it makes.

I went with the standard flywheel as my car is a daily driver with the standard compund discs. I had the R compound discs and it SUCKED. I also went with the 1100 kg pressure plate as it was adequate for holding my power. I didn't get the CCM... again... didn't need it.
