Islide13. I have a JB and haven't got a bad thing to say about it. Yes it's aggressive, yes it occasionally shudders, but by ducking Christ, it just does not slip. That's what I wanted, as I drive my cars like I stole them and I want it to last.

is that a JB Single plate?

Sure is. JB single, moly flywheel. I think it has somewhere around 7k pound of clamp. It's a bit of a bastardised mix of parts we got. 300 plate and cover meant I could go a slightly larger clutch plate and increase the surface area over the standard setup. I paid extra and so far, it's worth it. Best to call him if your interested as he is the guru. If I wanted a more street friendly setup the wife could drive I'd get a comp mix from nismo in a heart beat.

Mine only shudders on light load in traffic and you can drive around that! It takes a LOT of abuse without a drama.....

Not sure about your clamp load? I have the same design with the heavier pressure plate and its set at 4600lb so i would double check the numbers maybe?

Jim is one of the easiest guys to deal with and is more than happy to help you understand your own needs based on the given application!

yeah i have spoken to jim and he is saying he can give me a single plate that can handle 1200whp!

i am in the middle of a HKS 2.8 build and want to verify his claims and speak to someone who is pushing 650whp+ through all 4 on a JB Single plate.

Only 534whp here.....

I can only think of PJ's S13 and Matouks VL, then you also have Dave (Nytsky) R33..... All RWD but all pushing serious power!

A lot of people in Melbourne with big HP Setup only use Jim's clutches. Wouldn't look elsewhere.

i am trying to track down one of these people with "big power cars using Jim Berrys"

650whp+ with a jim berry clutch, used for circuit work.

to confirm they exist, they appear to be unicorns at the moment

someone knows of someone or has heard of someone using one at the power.

looking for someone to confirm it will be suitable as a single plate that can hold that kind of power seems, dubious

I mentioned some of the names with the same clutch as mine, I run one of these clutches, it cops hell and is holding up fine............ Ring Jim and discuss it further is you are concerned!

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
