Thank you for your enquiry regarding the Exedy clutch kits we sell. A twin plate hyper carbon D-core clutch for an EVO 7 will be £2200. There are other options available, such as the cerramettalic multi plate clutches.
The D-Core twin is a new design of clutch which uses two carbon clutch plates with a sprung centre. This means the clutch is very strong, and also benefits from being easy to use, with a soft take up and bite point.
Is the clutch for a rally car or a road car?

 

I checked in japan and they were the exact same price as the Hyper carbon. I went for the standard metallic twin plate though.

 

only difference is the springs located in the core of the disk. What they do is they absorb 90-pretty much 100% of the harmonic vibrations that come from your transmission. I only think they come in twin disk though.......I am not sure. and that could be close to 2,200-3000 bucks being carbon disks and all.

 

and yes the design being from the daikin-clutch corp.(sam as OE mitsu clutch corp.) they do have hands down the "best" design for our evo which places reliability pretty high up there.

 

From xe.com:

2,200.00 GBP = 3,983.52 USD
United Kingdom Pounds = United States Dollars

Ouch. You're getting into a carbon-carbon from AP Racing/Alcon/Helix at that price.

 

Wow, the buzz has already started!

The Exedy D-Core is indeed the newest clutch from Exedy.

It is a sprung hub carbon clutch, with the focus being on sounds deadning and an increased in drivability. The hub actually does an amazing job at absorbing the noise and makes the clutch virtually silent.

The discs are also larger, 225mm, and should hold a tad more power than the current Twin Carbon.

These *are* available in the US, however they are a special order item. ETA could be 30-60 days from ordering.

Pricing should be in the same area as the current Carbon Twin - maybe $100-$200 more.

If anyone is *seriously* interested in trying one of these as a "guniea pig", and is willing to wait, shoot me a PM or e-mail.

 

How much is the Hyper carbon?

 

Exedy's Suggested Advertising price is $2994.

It may be sold for less than that - you would have to call around.

 

Pics please ! Seems pretty pricey however. ORC carbon twins are cheaper.

What's the difference between all the models?

It looks like you also have to convert from Pull-style to Push-style (yikes!).

Other factors when converting from Pull-Style to Push-Style... How much does that "conversion kit" cost? What's included? How much additional labor is it? How many more failing point enter into the equation when you convert?

ACT, RPS, Cusco, ourselves, along with practiaclly every other clutch manuafcture stick with Pull-Type clutches for a reason. When you start changing *too much* you start to sacrifice dependability and serviceability.

Buuuuuut to each their own...

 

I agree with you there matt...btw i got the money from my twin so i need to pay for the triple.... i will pm you now.
