I would get a triple. 500 ft pounds is alot to handle on a twin.


my question is what do you have planned to make 500 ft pounds of tq? That is alot

your missing the important part of his post. The clutch needs to be able to hold 450 ft pounds

fidanza 3.2 - spec says it will handle 511ft lbs and I like the fact that it is 100% kelvar. Installing this setup in my evo next week.

I went with the Exedy twin (can always make it into a triple later) I like that idea,, but would have also like to try the Quarter master, being unsprung you slip it allot more, thats the key find something that you can just slip a little and not burn so your not so hard on the drive train. That's what I do and so far so good. But then again I am about to try about 600hp so we will see then.

If you want to be street driven I would not go with the Tilton. It is fairly difficult for street duties, and if you're doing 6k drops it will be extremely hard on your drivetrain because it doesn't like to slip much.

When I got the ACT 6 puck I didn't know much about what the Evo needs. So HPF sold me a 6 puck unsprung clutch and told me it was the clutch I needed for the type of racing I was doing. I love the clutch for hill climbs and autocrossing, but driving it everyday to work sucks. It chatters, and to touchy. Plus I have read that they kill the Evo running gear.

Clutch Masters, because I am obligated under contract to say so, no really, they have some good options for that power range and the street disc is great, but even the comp is drivable, as long as you stay away from the 6 puck

twin disk is the way to goif you have the money for it plus you can rebuild it. If you want something cheaper go with a Exedy stage 2. Thats is what I am running now. Alittle grippy and it takes some getting use to but it grips and rips. Now I dont launch my car so I am talking 2nd thru 4th gear experience. Good luck

In your case you prob need to go with a cheaper clutch because you`ll need the extra cash to rebuild your drivetrain.
