What's the best clutch for Greddy set up under $2000?
 

My 8 psi setting gets 404 rwhp and 383 rwtq. I need a better clutch to handle this power and would like some input on what clutch would be best for the power, but yet still streetable. I've seen some OS Geiken's fail so any contenders around $1500 to $2000?

Thanks in advance.

Exedy carbon is a sweet set-up:cool:

ats clutch - twin disc (sorry its a tad over $2K, $2090, but that includes shipping from japan.)
i am getting one of these with the 1350kg pressure plate.

That ATS is a great looking clutch. Yancy, I believe Godspeed sells them. He had one in stock one day when I was there, But I don't know if it was for the Z.

I've got a carbon triple disk ATS 1300kg. ATS USA talked me out of the 1600kg disk. Unfortunatly the motor had to come back apart so I only got about 30 minutes worth of time on it. Overall impresion, the clutch isn't as much of a light-switch as I had thought it might be. The reduced weight of the rotating assembly is very noticable.

Installation w/ the ATS is much less a PITA than the Exedy option. ATS's hub drive makes the transmission alignment much easier than the multi-disk Exedy setup.

BTW, price $2550 for the triple disk.

Well, I don't know about with this car. But I had really good luck with a "clutch master" with my SS camaro. And it was a stage III! A lot of high performance clutches tend to have clutch chatter, the clutch master didn't. It is an awesome clutch (at least for the f-body). When it's time to change my clutch on my G, I'm definetly going to give clutch master a try(I guess I'll be the guinea for this clutch, since I havent seen anyone with a "G" or a "Z" use on yet. I'll report when I do on this board :)

I will 2nd that

Just get a custom one made by a local shop. if you supply a clutch as a model they can make one to whatever specs you want for way cheaper than these jap clutch companies.

Heard good reviews on the Clutch master too and its not as pricey.

I have a clutchmaster stage 4 clutch. It is a sprung hub 4 puck clutch. Very easy to drive and does not slip at all compared to my OS Giken that lasted 6 weeks. For the price this is a great clutch, and given your numbers, you should be way safe. Good luck Yancy!

I might be looking for a clutch after fitting me vortech. I'm not into standing starts or dragging, but the clutchmaster looks like a definate future purchase.


Oh, by the way ACP, you car looks absolutely superb!!!!

I dont know diddly about clutches so can someone explain why these $2000 clutches are so great?

Because they are from japan! :p Just kidding..

The ATS clutches are really nice. But yeah they are expensive as hell. I wonder what JWT has made for the Z.

Thanks for the input so far guys. Tim, that clutchmaster stage 4 clutch is looking sweet for the price. How long have you had it in and how does it feel? Does it slip at all when your driving the piss out of it or does it grab consistently. Maybe I can save some money on this deal by going with a clutchmaster and use the other $ to buy some other things like body parts. Thanks again.

Is the Exedy carbon ovekill for 400hp? Not being saracastic here..but just curious if there are other effective street clutches for less money other than clutchmaster?

multiplate clutches are always more expensive. they are also easier to drive than puck style clutches. the ats is actually very cheap for a carbon multi-plate clutch. the tilton carbon is 5 grand.

I have had the clutch in for almost 1K miles or about 4 weeks now. I have taken it to the track and it has not slipped yet, even at the track at 7.5 psi. Some say it will not hold up to dragging the car, but I will probably be the first to find out. I broke the clutch in and drove like a grandma for 300 miles. Maybe it helped, maybe not, but so far it has outperformed the OS Giken.

Hey!
I have the JWT Clucth kit (with Flywheel) it can handle 440 rwhp and the pedal is more smooth than the stock one... I'm between my switch from NOS to FI... with the Nos system I put 386rwhp & 407rwtq and put on it a few passes... is great and is less than $1,000.00 with flywheel! :)

i'm going with JWT. Great history, solid holding power, great price. I don't think many ppl will go over 440-450 for now.

Better price for the combo :)
