I've tried the HKS GD max twin disc setup.....worked fine...but every 6 months or so the springs and bolts that are between the spacer plate.....would snap!
when they snap the clutch discs get all messed up....so I bought the re-build kit.

happened twice again!

switched to the ACT 6 puck clutch with pressure plate.....but now the lock(the ring in the center) on the pressure plate keeps on breaking off... i think the clutch could handle the power ...but the pressure plate cant take it.


What else is there...basically for about 550hp....daily driver....
excepting that carbon clutch that sells for $2800US or whatever.
I used to love the HKS but i think that the design sucks...the exedy's and cusco twins are made up much better.

cant really afford the $2800 one right now....but I'm sure there's gotta be another option for right now.

thanks

 

if you want something that will hold more power and not get messed up, your gonna need to spend more money. Thats how car parts work...well most of the time anyways.

 

oh and my car isnt 10 secs yet.......

but just preparing for the future...hopefully the future will treat me well.

 

save your bling... grab that thing... and go so fast to tear off your wing

 

yeah but there's gotta be some kinda alternative....or at least i hope so.....

at least something that would last for a while......and then later on i could get that carbon-carbon clutch

 

i say go for an exedy or cusco.

 

Actully, the Cusco twin disc is a great clutch for what you're looking for. Unlike the Exedy, it uses twin carbon plates. This helps it alot in drivability. It's a lot less grabby at first, but once it gets hot it grabs nice and hard (opposite of most clutch materials). Plus it's only about $1500. I've had mine for almost a year now and love it.

 

Dan from PRUVEN has a Triple Carbon clutch and its not the RPS and he says its the best clutch he ever had on his car i forgot the name of it and they tried a few clutches PM him or call them and ask him...

 

hey evo tuner u have a cusco?

 

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but what are your mods to get those times. Also, are you full weight, running what tires, running race gas, nitrous, meth, etc.? Thanks

I just trying to get a feel of how much money its going to take to hit 10's in an evo.

If you can get your 60ft down to a 1.6~ you should hit a 10 with good weather.

 

I'm going with the Clutchmasters FX400 6 puck. I also don't want to spend 2g's+

 

you could get 3 act clutch and swich em out every 5 months. lol

 

i say just go for the rps, it will pay for itself in the end because you wont have to keep buying new ones

 

Exedy Hyper Triple Ceramic!

 

umm...full weight..tires are normal bf goodrich with 18 adr rims.
engine is forged out..cp pistons,crower rods. along with hks 272's and hks gears.
simple SFP manifold with GT35R and 40mm tial wastegate. and yes i use a 50hp wet shot of nitrous. blitz boost controller and an apexi safc II.
I use C16 when racing.

thing is I have no management system so I'm afraid to push it to higher boost levels. Currently I run 23psi with the 50hp shot.

so I'm trying to get a good reliable clutch first before I go standalone.
and yeah the track is mess...but last time i raced when the clutch gave up i got a 1.72 60ft.....would have been a good run if not for the clutch slipping in 3rd n 4th.
