two.06l: why didn't you tell me this when i pm'ed you the other day about his clutches - i just sent mine up there to get built!!

Because I had this built for one of our customers....only to discover yesterday that he has a PUSH type clutch. I would have sold it to you otherwise. Im in this game to help not hinder.

how would this compare to a exedy 3 puck ceramic ? (cause its around the same price )

Would actually prefer a twin plate but dont have that kind of money right now so I was going to go with the above mentioned clutch to see how long it holds out.

I'll take a guess at answering these questions but don't take my word for it.

Single plate, probably around 3300-3400 pounds clamping pressure. Probably rebuilt from a standard GTR clutch (or maybe a excedy HD clutch)

HP hard to say, If its the same clutch that DIRTgarage use it, they run over 400rwkw :D

Hope this helps (and hope its right :( )

Brand new modified excedy 10" pressure plate (standard GTR is 9.5"), carbotic 5 or 6 puck sprung centre. It has been setup and tested in house at Race Clutch, and is developing around 4500lb of clamping force. We have used the same clutch in our race car for nearly two seasons, and can't speak any more highly enough of its performance/longetivity. Our car is producing 411awkw and 467rwkw so it can certainly do its job.

p.s. please pm for more info.

Would it be a straight fit into my R33 gtr?

Im looking at making around 380rwkw, do u think it will hold up?

Just askin cause I had a exedy single plate with 3400 tonne pressure, 5 puk button and it only lasted 6 weeks. I've been told I will need a twin plate to hold up with the power I'll will be makin.

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
