When I originally bought my car the previous owner was trying to make the car a borderline street legal drag car.
which is totally badass and all. But I need to tone it down since I like being able to drive my car LOL.>basic stuff:
-Built 2.0
-Bushur stage 3 head
-Manley forged crank
-S3 cams
-Shep indestructible t-case
-Quartermaster 8 leg clutch
-Speed density tune
-OEM trans
-MAP EF3
-1200cc DW injectors.
so yeah.
Car is clearly setup to put down serious power.
I'm just not that serious about making power yet.
The current quartermaster that is in it now is a motherrrrrfuuuu***r to daily.
What are some good aftermarket clutch options for daily use?
For the most part I like my exedy triple(making 560ish hp). I don't DD it, but I think I could with this clutch.
It has an on/off type engagement which can make it a PITA if you hit traffic, also a bit noisy but nothing unbearable. Also gotta watchout for uneven wear with the 1st disc if the car is gonna see alot of stop and go.
For 500 whp do the twin. Tripple is way much for that power range. I have one in my car and i love it, but only upgraded being i am going larger setup in the near future.
DD and multi disc = not good. An unsprung clutch to daily drive is harsh
Unsprung is not necessarily harsh. I have driven an Evo with an unsprung organic single disc, and it was totally streetable. I've also driven Exedy triples on Evos, and they were totally streetable as well. However, TRE says that unsprung is bad for the gearbox, and multidisk where each disk has its own splines is bad for the input shaft.
