Item: Tilton OT-II Triple plate clutch (7.25" or 185mm)

Age: Couple years? I've had it for about 8 months, my mate had it for a few before that...

Condition: Good (should have about 80% or more of its useable life, going by the plate wear specs from tilton

Price: $550 ASKING... i am open to offers though, if it's reasonable I'll accept.

To Fit: With current splins and diameter I have no idea (29 spline 1 1/4in diameter)

Location: Perth

Hey peoples, my clutch is up for sale... it was going to modified for use in my GTR, but having recently bought a house, the whole GTR project has gone down the crapper (or at least put on hold for a year or more).

As such, I'm selling off bits and pieces which have just been sitting in the cupboard for 6+months... no point in keeping them around, for a project that may actually never see the light of day.

So, my clutch is for sale. Got this off a mate about 6-8 months ago... it's *ultra* light, weighing in at 4.5kg, and is only 7.25" in diamter (185mm). Put simply, it's tiny, with a tiny rotating mass.

The clutch uses sintered metallic discs (3x), and I have measured all disc thicknesses, with all coming in at 0.102" thick. Brand new these clutches are 0.104" thick.

Taken from tilton's site:

Clutch discs start new at .104" thick. Discs should be replaced when total pack wears .030".

This means the individual disc thickness should not be less than:

• Single disc = .074" • Two disc = .089"

• Three disc = .094" • Four disc = .097"

The friction material used on these discs is extremely wear resistant. It will typically wear

quickly for the first .002" of disc thickness, and then wear dramatically slower after that.

As you can see, the clutch is in great nick, having only worn 0.002" on each plate (which will wear quickly), and each plate has another 0.008" of useable wear (which will wear slowler than the previous 0.002").

Clutch plates are 29 spline, 1 1/4"... I was going to have it re-splined for GTR use, but as stated before, I've bought a house, and the interest rates (up until just lately) have been f**king me in the ass, put simply, and I can't afford to do the project right now. Brand new clutch plate packs can also be sourced from tilton quite cheaply in multiple spline/teeth and size, for chevy's, supra's etc. As an indication of cost, I asked a local aus dealer for tilton on a price quote for 3 brand new clutch plates, suit RB's / GTR (24x 1"). Total cost was $544.50 inc GST, that was from Earl's Australia (the fittings guys).

Still waiting on a response from Xtreme clutch, they're also dealer for tilton here in aus...

As for the exact torque holding capacity, I'm not 100% certain on. Minimum torque holding capacity for a Tilton OT-II triple plate is 612nm (450lb-ft), while maximum is 1713nm (1260lb-ft). Looking on the diaphragm,I can only see the stamping "G", of which they offer two models - HG and UG (H referring to high for the pressure plate ratio, and U for ultra-high). The specs on these are 1266nm and 1509nm respectively. Again, I can't be 100% on this, however, the person I did buy it off is running an identical clutch to this behind his rebuilt 1UZ-FE (turbo... t88-34D) powered supra... he was putting down in excess of 500rwhp on 12-13psi. His original OS Giken twin plate (from memory rated to "700hp") slipped horribly, to the extent that the clutch plates fused onto the floater plates. He's had no issue with the tilton so far... (no surprise there).

The clutch uses UN-SPRUNG discs with a push-type release bearing, and is similar to drive like that of a HKS unsprung triple...

These clutches are also individually balanced and marked from the factory.

If there's anything else you want to know, just ask

Asking $550, however this is negotiable, I need the money hey... If postage isn't too much, i'll throw it in for free.

Cheers,

Christian

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
