Thanks Dave, I hope you enjoy the clutch, Take care!

Thanks for the reviews Dave. I ordered one!

 

So, George, where's my 10% commission....

Seriously, Brian, you'll be very happy with it. Just wait 1 or 2 days for it to break in, and it feels almost exactly like stock.

 

Once I finally get my new built motor installed, I will give the new clutch it's proper breakin'.

 

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get more reviews of this awesome clutch on here. I can't wait for my car to be complete, so I can see how it holds up at the track with 600rwhp

Will a double clutch setup like this one be a total overkill for a NA setup? In general, the single clutch disc setups will be more "streetable" than dual clutch discs, correct? So, would there be any reason for those running N/A with no plans of going F/I to use a double clutch setup like this one, instead of a single clutch setup?

 

As much as I would like to help George sell another clutch, there really is no reason for this on an N/A setup.

 

Are there any single clutch setups that have a similar highly evolved center hub damper system, as well as a strap drive system that greatly reduces harmonic resonances from being transmitted to the driver via the drivetrain? It would be nice to see a single clutch setup that has a design that seeks to lessen flywheel noise and clutch chatter. The only single clutch setup that I have seen that has a similar setup to minimize vibrations is the orc 409 w/ all options (friction, damper, and "silent" option (springs from flywheel). Are there any other options for those that only need a single clutch setup, but want the dampening features of this special exedy twin carbon setup?

 

Yeah, not sure. To be honest, I would stick with the stock clutch with an N/A engine, but thats just my opinion.

 

What are your future plans for the car?

 

my setup is nismo headers, weldina cat's, ms spacer, mrev2, s-tune suspension, arc titan bar. I don't have plans on going F/I, but the stock clutch kinda pisses me off b/c although it is extremely streetable, I can't get a good launch and I have been experiencing clutch sticking issues--I'm at 10k miles. I actually ordered an ogura orc 409 super single disc w/ silent option, high friction, and damper. It seems to be the quietest setup I have heard for single clutch and flywheel setups. Although, I am concerned it might not be as streetable as I would like (Cloud states the clutch is aggresive and shudders in first--but other than that he is pleased).

Are there any other comprable better setups than the orc 409 for my need? Does exedy offer a similar setup? How would the clutch perform on a N/A that doesn't need nearly close to the clamping power the double disc setup does?

 

Well it would preform better since its not anywhere near what it could handle, a double or triple disc clutch will always be smoother than a single disc because that is how they are by nature, the more plates, the easier it will be to drive.

I hope that ogura setup works out for you!

Thanks for the reply. But could you explain a little more what you mean. You are saying that the more discs on a clutch system the smoother and easier it will be to drive? If I'll never seven come close to 400hp, you are saying that a double or triple disc setup will be smoother and easier to drive (I assumed the more discs, the more aggresive and less streatable it would be on a N/A setup). What would you recommend?

 

I think what George meant was that those are easier to drive, without ever limiting your hp potential. IF by any means you decide to go bigger, you will not have to change out any part of the clutch to handle it.

I do agree that if you're absolutely certain that you will NEVER go FI, the oem, or the JWT or Nismo setup would suffice.

 

Exedy organic racing clutches(stage one) with the chrome molly solid flywheel is the clutch you should use .the Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle modified engines. This is the preferred clutch for street and light horsepower track use. Driveability is similar to the stock clutch. Pedal efforts will be slightly higher because of the higher clamp loads. the clutch discs have spring center dampers to reduce drivetrain shock.there will be no drive train noise.

you wont be disappointed

Does no "drivetrain noise" include the type of noise often heard on lightened flywheel setups like the nismo in the low rpms (chatter--resonations from flywheel)--Are you saying the exedy organic clutch kit stage 1 w/ lightenened flywheel will not produce this sort of flywheel resonance at low rpms?

 

Yes .this is exactly what I was stating .

I run an APS ST that puts down >400ft/lbs on a dynapack dyno at 6psi. There is plenty of room for the turbo once I build my motor. Sounds like this type of clutch is just what I need. Is the Cusco twin plate carbon clutch comparable? How about the standard Exedy Twin Disk? My car is driven on the street, in traffic not daily but sometimes. Plans to take it to the track once motor is built. Thanks.

 

If you are planning on tracking the car than I would highly recommend this clutch, on the track the car will see much higher loads than normal and you don't want a slipping/burnt clutch at the end of the day.

If you want a clutch that can handle high loads, and still be very streetable and quiet then this is the one

these clutches are carbon on carbon right? not some carbon/metallic compound?
Also, something tells me this is the Exedy Hyper Series Carbon-D marketed in Japan...
