Anyone else with some advice for the clutch?

 

For autocross and road race, I'd personally keep the engine 2.0 in order to maintain some RPM range, but that's just me. You'd be surprised how much time you can lose shifting vs. staying at high RPM, even if the car isn't at its peak of power in higher RPM.

I also would opt for a different turbo like a BBK, HTA Green, Tomei ARMS, or Red. the trust kits just aren't worth their parts and cost with the stock frame turbo options available anymore. If you must go external wastegate, 3076 or Borg Warner S256.

Most of the fast and competitive autocrossers and road racers I've seen using those dampers don't stay with them long and seem to ditch them for something else.

 

^ Thanks mate!

The trust kit I purchased was the same price as an evo Red, and it also has more HP potental..

I would love a set of Ohlins Flag-L's, Aragustas or DMS 50mm, but I simply cant afford it, so the Monoflex have to stay.

Does anyone have any experience with ORC clutches? Do you think the Exedy would be good enough?

 

Sorry, I missed the part where you got the Trust kit for a steal. Fair enough then!
ORC havent taken as large a share in the US market, but they are used in some of Japan's most powerful cars around and should be as good as Exedy providedyou use one appropriate for your use. I know some drift guys who have used them on their SRs and they have been very happy with them.

 

Actually, 630whp has been demonstrated with an FP Red. I don't recall an instance whereby a Greddy/Trust T67 has achieved close to that figure, not that it would really matter unless one's goal is well north of 500whp.

Just FYI.

 

^ Hmmm, thanks for that..

Only thing is, that the ORC is about 600~700 more then an exedy...

 

Over here, there has been no FP red that can seem to get over 420hp on a Tomei built 2L and E85.

There is an Evo 9 running around sydney with a T67, Cosworth 2L, E85 and it is pushing 540hp.

Same tuner. Same Dyno.

Genrally, the T67 over here will reach 400hp easy on 98 RON and 500hp easy on race fuel/E85.

We dont seem to get the same success as you guys with the bolt on turbos.. (Greens & Reds)

Just some thoughts...

 

^Anyone else?

 

What do you guys think of sheptrans..

I have been looking at thier stage 3 transfer case (the one with the quafe Front LSD), and a 5speed...
