Just as the title states, I was wondering if there are any twin disc kits out there that don't have the metal on metal sound. I'm in the process of a evo overhaul and was looking for something that will give me the non-embarrassing noise of my current ACT, but not the annoying lock out that comes with it. I know I can't have my cake and eat it too, but I want to see some input. The new build will be a stroker with a FP black...so the normal hp/tq from that combo will be seen...will be on E85, so expect the 600+ mark. Are there any singles out there that don't give the lock-out?
I don't mind a harsh engagement with a bit of chatter...just the noise.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew

 

My Spec Twin is very quiet, no chatter

 

Exedy Twin SD should do the trick, it's much quieter than the HD

 

will the exedy twin hold 600hp?

 

I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience with the agressive Fidanzas. Do they have lock out issues? Will the SD hold up to 550wtq?

 

Definitely not the QM twin then.

 

Are you saying the QM is loud?

I've been trying to find a twin that doesn't make god awful noises too.

 

Don't quote me but something to look into... I think I remember reading the Cusco twin is the same as the Exedy except it has springs to keep the disks level and from chattering? The HKS twin is suposed to be quiet too but I'm not sure if that is Exedy with a different cover design or Daikan.

I think the only difference between the Exedy twin SD and HD is clamp/ pedal pressure, clutch out- the noise should be the same.

 

The spec is quiet as can be, but stay away from it... Many of us have had issues with it.

 

My exedy twin HD doesn't make any noise except when I engage the clutch. It makes a bark noise. I actually kind of like the sound

 

I have the hks twin clutch kit, it has 2 organics discs instead of the metallic disc that most of them come with. Very quite and the driveability its like stock. My friend has one installed and it feels like a stock clutch. I just bought a bigger turbo and Im going with a triple disc, so no need for this. If your interested shoot me a pm. Part number is 26011-AM001 if you want to look for more info. I paid 2,300 so no low balling please. BTW its brand new.

 

I have an OS Giken, and it's very quiet! Much quieter than any other twin disk I've heard.

 

I talked with Competition Clutch a little over a month ago, and they are in the process of testing a new version of their twin disc clutch that they hope will be much more quiet. Looks like this could be a viable solution, but it's still going to have some noise. English Racing is doing the testing apparently, so maybe you could direct them some questions...

 

Thanks for the offers and suggestions guys. I'm waiting to see a clearer vid of that new quartermaster...especially the 'street' version.

EDIT: Wow.. just looked at that HKS clutch online...holy crap is that thing nice.

 

you want 600 hp then deal with what comes along with having a race car. your embarrassed about a little noise from your clutch but not your loud turbo,loud exhaust, stiff suspension, exhaust fume emitting dump tube and whatever else..
