hay fellas
my clutch is starting to slip !!!! and soon ill be doing some upgrades. im aiming for close to 300 kw at the treads !
i have a 98 year model gtt, what type of clucth would i be looking to buy to handle this kind of power ?

and whats the diffrence between a push and a pull type clutch how do you tell what u have ?

My excedy cushioned button was crap for higher power... Pedal was very soft and at the end it didnt have the clamping force... May have been a one off issue but i would avoid them due to my experience... Super happy with the JB

Bro go with NPC i got quotes all over town from exedy to extreme.. ended up calling NPC.. They had a chat to me, talked to me about my car, how much power im making all that.. and at the end I purchased a clutch kit off them for 775$ for a heavy duty organic.. thy reckon its good for up to 350kw-400kw ? if i remember correctly. NPC all the way man. thats a decent price man.

The organic is around 330kw in the GTT i think... Either way that is a decent clutch and a decent price!

im in the same boat, using ORC twin plate atm lasted about 70 000kms on day to day, and few track days twin plate

cant choose between exceedy twin hyper or nismo copper mix twin

and yes i put out 300kw

any suggestions aswell??

oh ORC im using is solid centre damn pain in the ass to drive in traffic definitely go for sprung centre this time

I got a quoted from npc. 1050 for 10inch cushion button clutch.

Which clutch did you get ?

I was thinking of a 6puck sprung clutch

But I don't want it to shudder !

I'm waiting on Jim berry to get back to me so ill make my choice soon.

Hardest decision on my life !

    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
