2 clutches down...

Well after the stocker going at 13k and my clutchnet going at 15k (warped flywheel, piece of garbage) i now need another. I am looking around for something that is going to be solid for a daily driving/ track setup that will hold into the 400whp range. I do not plan on running anything larger than the stock turbo so please take that into consideration when giving me your opinion.

Also, as far as flywheels mine will need replacing. I have heard that too light is not good and id like to hear people's experiances with various brands. Thanks!

For clutches, here is probably the largest poll and it keeps growing:

If you are going through clutches that fast, you might want to consider taking out the restrictor in the hydraulics if you haven't already. The stock flywheel is pretty thin but it is a good piece. We have two different ones and both are much thicker than stock, but I will spare you the rest of the sales pitch.

Please dont spare it....i need all the info i can get. I did in fact remove the restrictor but i think that led to me warping my flywheel with some launches that were a little "too hard" and slipping through 1st and 2nd. Engagement is very harsh and i just cant take it anymore.

If you removed the restrictor, it shouldn't lead to more slipping. PM me if you would like more info on our products.

The restrictor mod, if you have not done it yet, will reduce if not eliminate lockout at high RPM if your trying to shift quickly...

That "lockout thing" is going to happen on any clutch if the adjustment is not right. It is a dynamic problem with the engine (maybe crank flex), not just a clutch problem that we are dealing with. We are playing with a new design that takes less travel and provides more lift, so that less adjustment is needed.

If it was happening again and again, then the issue is most likely warpage from the heat. If I remember right you were running the street clutch which is like comparing apples with oranges to the Exedy twin. Try comparing our race setup to the Exedy for more of a direct comparison (except for the price). Like the Exedy it has better heat capacity, requires less travel and has similar benefits/tradeoffs.

Our website is not current since we lost our IT guy a few months ago so it doesn't show everything. But basically I am talking about a puck type disc with cerametallic material similar to the Exedy. The same kit is what TurboTrix uses on their cars. We have them available in spring center or solid center depending on the intended use. TurboTrix runs a solid center (lighter for quickest shifting).
