twin plate vs big single plate

[Bleck]

Anyone know how long to expect a twin plate to last? I have an Excedy Twin centre sprung. Obviously depends on how you drive it though.

I got my clutch from the horsepowerinabox previous owner Tim Possingham.

It cost me $600 even which was a fairly good deal as I have known him for quite some time.

 

The same clutch is being run in a few cars, one supra making 318rwkw & whatsisnames R33 making at one stage 299.1rwkw then it went down to 260rwkw then back up to around 280rwkw. Its held so far so good. I think it also comes down to your driving style.

Both of the cars mentioned making high power are driven nicely. No big clutch dumps or gear slaps. Making that sort of power you wouldn't really want to be slapping gears around anyhow.

 

I think it also has a lot to do with the flywheel you use with the clutch.

 

The clutch plate looks slightly different to the one in the pic (the puks being smaller on mine)

I think this is the same as the one I am running.

Mine is a 1 tonne clutch. Unsure if this is but. The pedal is very heavy.

Too heavy to sit with your foot on it, and flex's the flywall quite a bit.

I am thinking of making up a bit of a spacer to distrubute the load over a larger surface area.

Its not to bad I suppose, it is most definately streetable but can be a pain in the arse in peak hour traffic but launching and driving hard it is quite nice to drive.

 

I'll post a couple of pics.

I have that same 9 puck cushioned ceramic in my car and it hold over 300rwkw also. It is a bit jerky in heavy traffic tho but i am rather happy with it!

So is that an X-Treme clutch?
