I currently run an Exedy Triple Carbon I bought slightly used. I've had a lot of issues w/ it, and now it's starting to slip. I only have 450wtq, so it's certainly not too much power. The engagement & holding power are fantastic (when it's working properly). It only had abt 80ish launches after a partial repair done by Exedy.

I use the car as a competition Solo car, so I launch it approx 5-10x weekend (20-40x/mo), and very few street miles. My 2-step is 5400, and I don't overly ride it--just enough as to not shock the system & shatter an xfer case or something.

Is there any such clutch out there that can take 200-250 launches @ my car's relatively modest power level before needing to be replaced/rebuilt?
Any ideas on the rebuild cost of the Exedy (it just gave up the ghost @ an event yesterday)?

I've thrown a lot of $$ @ the car developing it & it's rewarded me (when I've done my part driving it ), but I'd like to save some $$ during these difficult times, so cost is a factor.

Thx in advance

tilton carbon twin....or atleast if i had the money thats what i would choose......

How do you like the exedy tripple carbon?

 

Verv very expensive ... I recommend SPEC Clutch Stage 2+ ....

 

id go with quarter masters

but thats just me

 

That is about the same power as I am making on race gas. I would suggest either the Exedy Triple Cerametallic with AMS Push Conversion or the Tilton Twin Carbon. Either are great clutches, the Tilton being slightly better since this is a track car only.

 

Can you convert the disc in carbon in this Tilton https://secure.buschurracing.com/cat...90543b92b1a4d?
My friend is selling used one but it needs a new disc...

 

QUARTERMASTER twin disk......

 

When it's working properly, it's wonderful & engages smoothly. I just wish it'd last longer--a lot longer, for the $$ Although it does rattle like a coffee can full of marbles in a paint shaker when it's disengaged

I have a SPEC stg 2 in my 560rwhp ZR-1 Vette & it holds nicely, but I don't launch that car very hard (or often--garage queen). Also, I've heard SPEC has had some quality issues lately.

 

tilton twin or quartermaster twin

 

Tilton twin what? Carbon or cerametalic?

 

carbon or cermatellic will work fine..

carbon if youre a baller lol

my personal preference is the quartermaster twin, rated for 800ft/lbs. i just installed one on a friends evo, amazing clutch.. its awesome how fast u can shift with it

 

What do these quartermasters go for, how are they on engagement & DO THEY LAST???

 

around ~$1400, engagement isnt all that bad. very similar to the tiltons, its a drag clutch so it is what it is.. its not very quiet, but if u dont mind the noise its fantastic.

im putting one in my car w/ a built tranny shortly

 

How used was this clutch when you got it? What were the friction plate specs?

 

I have a new clutch coming to the EVO community next week. Its a whole new outlook on all the competitor clutches that are currently out. If you can wait till this coming week i will post pictures along with a description comparing it to the competitors. I cant really say much more till its in my hands but i will keep you updated.
