What clutch are the turbo people running?
 
If I ever go FI down the road, I would definitely upgrade the clutch/flywheel setup.

On my old turbo G35, I ran an ACT 6-puck clutch and Fidanza flywheel. Granted the car made under 400wtq, the clutch NEVER slipped for the 50k miles it was boosted.

I'm curious to know what all you turbo guys/gals (wishful thinking) are running for clutch setups? I've seen a lot builds with the OS Giken, but I think that's a bit overkill.

Unfortunately not much clutch choices that would hold the torque and be nice enough to be daily driven... i've tried them all on my old z33 TT.

We literally just tried to see if we can do TT installs without a clutch in the beginning, on Nigel's car. didnt do too well, lol Lasted about 150miles on it.

With clutches, you get what you pay for... even with the abuse that I put my old Z33 through, was making about 474rwhp and 47x tq, the Giken twin disc was perfectly fine. plus i drove from nassau county to work in suffolk county then to the upper west side of manhattan EVERYDAY, in traffic!

if i get bold enough, i'd take a pic of my left and right legs, they're still proportional ;) the engagement and pedal feel was slightly stiffer than stock but not overkill like a 6 puck would be

I ordered a Southbend DXD Stage 4 with new flywheel along with an HD CSC kit. I don't now much about this stuff, but my car will be a daily driven boosted car pushing around 420-470 whp.

JDMFairlady21 03-31-2011 09:51 AM

which HD CSC did you order?

I will be running the JWT clutch/flywheel combo with the concept Z heavy duty CSC. My install should be getting done the first or second week of April, so I'll let you know how the setup feels.

HD CSC ordered from ZSpeed. I wonder if Concept Z is selling the same product. It comes prefitted with ss lines, so there is no need to purchase a clutch line upgrade.

This is the one I have:

I have a southbend stage 4 and it feels great and is supposedly good for 600+wtq

Also, its easy on the CSC. I've had a factory CSC in there for several thousand boosted miles already and no problems.

I have stock clutch and flywheel with over 2k boosted miles.. and holding strong

Jdm. Are you saying the os giken was good? Sorry, but your post confused me a bit.

98intrigue 04-05-2011 09:52 PM

Just to let everyone know, I purchased an ACT 6puck clutch and Fidanza 15lb flywheel.
