Its that time of the year when our thoughts go out to Ohio farmland and racing at the DSM shootout

As a result of my latest volley of mods, I exceeded the capacity of the Exedy twin carbon clutch and ny fuel system

Newly installed - rail - lines and twin walbro pumps - plenty of fuel now

And the mack dady of all clutches - the Exedy Triple Disk CARBON !!!! Let me tell you - this is the ultimate clutch ever created - its silky smooth like stock engagement and its even quieter than the twin !

And yes - it held the power 555 whp (AWD) at 32 psi of boost

After a few dyno pulls I basically stopped tuning because at these power levels anything can happen and its really not worth taking a chance and blowing something up at the last minute

I feel there is another 30 - 50 whp with some more tuning and boost

The coolest thing was taking a short ride today to break in the clutch and going in stop and go shopping traffic - a/c on and talking on the cell phone with a guy at Exedy telling them how great the new triple clutch is and realizing I am driving a 550 whp car like a normal diualy driver - power

See you all in Ohio !

 

How much was your triple carbon clutch?

 

You need a nice shot of nitrous to cap it off, like 150 shot

 

I always thought Tilton and ATS made the best clutches around...

 

good to see everything worked out good for you al .best of luck at the shootout.come on 10's.

 

Al, your setup is just insane, glad to hear your lovin that clutch!

 

good luck!! sounds like a sweet setup!

 

I have heard George at Boost Solutions also raving about this new clutch at a recent BBQ he showed several of us this clutch new in the box expensive but should handle just about everything you could throw at it. I believe that he is putting it in his Evo soon. Good luck Al at the next race.

 

The Sparco evo was testing the ATS tripple carbon - they were doing some runs for a TV Show called Red Line TV - some 0 - 60 runs and they broke the transmission and front diff right at the line in one shot

My point is - a good clutch gives you modulation and a smooth progressive engagement - NOT a on / off switch like engagement

Sparco is the only other car in North America which has this new triple carbon exedy

and PS - Exedy is the original OEM suplier for all Subaru and Mitsubishi vehicles - they are about 20 times the size of any other aftermarket clutch supplier. I tell you that the technology behind the Exedy Hyper Carbon series is totally revolutionary and results in a clutch that is very smooth - progrossive and streetable while providing super light weight and fast shifts.

Thanks

 

I was shocked to discover that the Cusco clutch I have in my car said Exedy on the side....inquiring, I was informed that many of the parts and design features are Daiken clutch...really wild how big they actually are.

 

AL How does the EXEDy compare to the HKS your were running?

 

I never ran the HKS

From what I have seen the HKS is really hard to launch smoothly

BTW - The Exedy Hyper Single is a really fantastic unit for the regular user and at $849.99 shipped (Dyno Flash price) (with the chrome molly flywheel and alum clutch cover!) its a deal !

 

That a carbon hyper single or no? Either way that looks like a crazy price considering the ACT with flywheel is about the same if not more. Which is a better product anyway ACT or Exedy Single?

 

That is a ceramometalic disk - same as twin only one disk. Its good up to 350 whp

Consider this - ACT is a Exedy clutch with modified spring and painted yellow

 

How much does the ACT hold cause I will be needing a clutch real soon. With my Sig add U-Racings Garrett T3 turbo with 900 CC's. Think getting a bit past the capacity of the stock clutch hehe. Also any word on those RA-1's al? I am going to Pruven next Friday when I put the turbo in so I can get it tuned.
