What are the Southbend clutches good up to ___hp??? Why not a twin or triple plate?

 

you can fit the ported S compressor housing?

 

DXD now has a new pp for te stage 5's. They rate it at 850+tq (the one I had been running was rated at 690tq).

Reason.....$$$.....clutch is a consumable, I don't care which you go with. And when the clutch costs as much as the motor....that bothers me lol.

I hear ya. I'm concerned that the OS Giken twin I am running may fail after a short span of time. Just thinking about options for the next clutch too. So thanks for sharing. Good info.

When I was considering the purchase, I was told that the Japanese circuit racers use it for cars with upwards of 1000 hp.

 

No, we use the B covers on our kit. The picture I posted is just a file pic.

Very good points Tom. Many guys spend more on a clutch than they need. I could be one of those guys, but since I beat the crap out of my clutch, I went overkill!

Keep in mind it can always be rebuilt! You don't always have to buy a whole new clutch setup.

Bump for updates...

 

Car gets dropped off on friday....(your car's in the way damnit!!! lol jk)

looks like we'll be doing 58mm billet turbos, BC stage 3 (272's).....

should be interesting!!!

tom

 

very nice. do you have a girdle on your motor? only thing i wish i woulda had put on (well that and maybe more aggro cams)

you should just go with the twin 6262s. you know in a year you'll want them anyhow.

 

Like This one:



I got that end of business covered. Taking no chances.
Well I hope my car gets finished well before Friday so I can plan my trip to pick it up.

 

Just the stock girdle on mine. Not really going for any more power than I currenlty make, just want to do it with less boost and better rev range....

today I have power from like 3500rpm to 6000rpm.....after cams/turbos predicting more like 4000rpm-8000rpm (if stock intake will get there).

Don't want to be revving higher than that without a billet girdle.

Should be all back together by mid april.

That bottom end looks like mine! I went with twin 6062's. Was going to order 62s, but awhile ago when I got them they were on major backorder and the 60s were on the shelf.

 

^prolly better as i can already tell these twin 62s are going to laaaaaag, but my car isnt a stop light racer anyhow.

 

Twin 62s are for a drag car only. Waaayyyyy too lazy on a 3.5L, but that's me. Some guys are straight up crazy!

 

+1 on being crazy

 

haha love it!

 

So the clutch I heard about for SP was for you Tom? I feel left out
Here is what it actually looks like It's going to be a stiffy!

 

I thought I was dealing with you through email.....I can't keep up with everyone lol........lets hope she holds up to some abuse (god knows the last one did). We got clutch today but not flywheel.

Tom

 

6puck with a big pressure plate. that should be fun on the street. or may not

 

Its not a dd so doesn't bother me. The last one wasn't exactly light either. After a while you don't even notice (unless of course you get caught in nasty traffic..............then you just roll in first lol)

Tom

 

Thats why I went with a twin disc. Very easy engagement with good clamping power.
I cant imagine you can drive anywhere around Chicago and not get in stop and go traffic for miles.

I thinkits amazing how a teeny 4mm difference in wheel size can totally change how much lag a turbo has.

Are you getting the BB turbos? thats balla money!
