Hey all
As many of you are aware im nearing the finishing stages on the headache, i am in need of a clutch.
Question is, what type? there are so many to choose from i dont know what to get! 3,4,5,6 puck? Single, Twin, Triple plate? HELP!!!
Basically the car will hopefully be making about 250rwkw, no idea on torque but the 3sgte is known for having a bit of it!! I plan on daily driving and club racing it, hill climbes, track days etc. No clutch kicking the hell out of it drifting or anything (yet!). I have found a clutch that i think will suit and will be capable of the job, here are the specs:
F1 Racing Stage 4 clutches are designed for the individual whose goal is to have an ultimate strip/track clutch system. F1 Racing Stage 4 clutches only consist of the very best materials available. The pressure plate is made from the forged ductile iron (3X stronger than the conventional cast iron pressure plate) to ensure consistent clamping force and the extra long life. The disc has virtually indestructable 6-puck solid type where it provides precise and direct clutch engagement. The 6-puck copper ceramic (also known as 'MIBA') disc features high-coefficient friction pads that are resistant to slippage and burst. The F1 Racing pressure plate features special single diaphragm design to increase clamp load. It features induction hardened diaphragm, CNC machined castings, stronger drive straps and rivets. F1 Racing pressure plate provides smooth and precise feel with easy modulation. All F1 Racing pressure plate is load tested on a special testing tool for quality assurance.
This complete clutch kit includes:
F1 Racing HD Pressure Plate
F1 Racing 6-puck solid copper ceramic disc (232 mm, 21 spline)
Release Bearing
Alignment Tool
Installation Guide
Horsepower Rating: 520 HP / Torque Capacity: 490 ft/lbs
What's the opinions guys? Its not too expensive (i think twin plates are excessively expensive!), but at this stage im not prepared to go more than $1000 on a clutch. I have sitting here (i've got it for sale atm!) a near new Xtreme heavy duty clutch and pressure plate, but i doubt that it'll hold up to the thrashing it'll be given!
Cheers
