the twin is gonna crap the bed in no time...save yourself the time,money, hassle and do a triple from the get go....

 

Who has the triple conversion kits right now?? I been looking high and low and PMing my **** off. No responses so far.... As i need to go to the triple as well as my twin is slipping.

 

Damn, you choking the socks off the Black making over 600+whp DD....wow

 

Nobody has the kit right now that I know of, I pm'd Mike@AWD and was told they are still a long time out on getting more of them.

 

Well looks as if ill have to rebuild my current one then... It is 2 years old with mostly stop and go traffic so it more then likely just needs discs. But i got a PM in to a few vendors on here "Mike being one of them" and ill see what they suggest!

 

Any updates?

Curious to know when the Triple will be in and if Mike reccomends one for you

How much torque are you putting down?

 

For those of you saying "triple" because its safe need a little schooling on what torque holding capacity means and it's implications to the drive train. You need to understand what it means to have a clutch that can hold 734 lb/ft torque.

op,

read this link. http://www.teamrip.com/choosing_the_...utch_info.html
Jon from tre explains clutch choice enough to let you get the idea. and whoever is going to say they know more than jon, take it up with him. Hopefully this will clear some air up regarding clutch choice.

The triple is great, but you must know what the effects of 734lb/ft torque capacity implies to drive train components. Personally, I think the twin hd is an excellent choice for your application

 

^+1 nice post.

 

the power his car is capable of making will smoke an exedy twin pretty quickly if he tries to launch his car much...if you want to double or triple the hp/tq in your vehicle you have to expect occasional breakage........gotta pay to play

 

But is it cheaper to replace a clutch or have your tranny rebuilt. Pay to play yes, but don't pay money you don't have to. Considering the clutch will wear eventually anyways.

 

reaction,

i agree with you . you are correct regarding "occasional breakage" and gotta pay to play. but, to the op he may not want "occasional breakage" in his drive shaft components. you seem to understand that with greater torque handling clutches, consequences can occur, "pay to play" but he may not be aware of fatigue limits of the other "components"

It's not as simple as the clutch can handle 700 tq so its ok. that's the information i was trying to show since it may not be noticeable. that extra torque also effects fatigue limit of other components, reducing life and possible breakage. if he is aware of this then yes, go with the triple informed.

If he is able to not launch all day and keep it under 535 tq, he'll be fine with the twin for launching.

side note - it's not only the clutch and transmission that is upgraded when full hot rods are built. when you're torque is past 500 you have to strengthen your chassis as well for prolonged use. the hot rods with 1200 whp etc chassis are built like bridges with transmissions that can take a bomb exploding in it. all because if you neglect to "strengthen" the whole vehicle the torque will shatter it.

when i was a kid i saw a race car chassis get a little bent due to the amount of torque after a launch. high *** tq = cover your *** and have cash handy not to mention killing engine etc.

but i agree reaction, i just wanted to make sure knows of "pay to play" and occasional breakage etc. after all, i think you should be informed before you spend over 2k on a clutch without install and possible replacement fees.

op, do u need tq over 500 to the wheels? if so why that specific number. thanks and gl

 

what are prices for a triple nowadays anyway?

 

wreckless,

you understand what i'm saying. cost is one factor, the triple is not cheap. second, just replace the twin if it slips. you wont be killing your drive shaft components if you keep it below 530 or so

 

Do it right the first time and go with the triple. I've seen Evos slip with around 390 ft/lbs on the dyno with a newer twin.

I agree with you, pay to play is very true but there is a difference between paying for what you have to as opposed to breakin **** that you don't need to.

I can go out turn the boost up on my car to 40psi and blow the motor, would people say "Oh you gotta pay to play" or would the call me a ****in retard since my car is tuned for 24psi and still mostly stock. I'm willing to bet the latter.

Id rather get my tranny built once and replace a clutch whenever it needs to then have to replace my tranny in between clutch changes.
