Help With Twin Plate Clutch

I am in need of a new clutch asap. I have a s14a and have been looking into getting a twin plate clutch and have pretty much decided on an ORC unit.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the exact difference between the ORC's the normal metal twin plate and the Pro carbon twin plate for driveability purposes and also spec wise?

the two clutches in question are the

ORC-559D-02N and

ORC-559CC-02N

the car will be used mainly for street use but will be tracked once in a while. (as in maybe once in 3 or 4 months or so)

any help will be greatly appreciated.

cant tell you about those two exact clutches, but i general the twin plate will probly be rather difficult to drive with, where as carbon/carbon clutches maintain a very light pedal, and factory-like engagement

thanks for the reply VB. Its just such a hard decision to make considering you won't know how it feels until you actually buy it and it is not a small thing you can replace whenever you feel like it.

find other people with the same clutch if you can (look around on here for someone local to u) ask if u can see it/maybe even drive it to get a feel for it. if not get opinions from everyone on here, ask what they've got, see how good it is for the street.

BUT, first off how much power are you making? i doubt you really need a twin plate, just get a good solid single plate (speak to jim berry, he is a god when it comes to clutches apparently)

I've already got a heavy duty clutch and it does not hold the power. I've got quite a bit of power.

I've already called Jim Berry and had a long chat about his clutches. He gave me a very good explaination of everything and told me about his Full Monty clutch. He makes a very very good argument but (feel free to flame me) I just can't get my head around the fact that one Australian man can make one of the greatest clutches whereas all these Japanese brands like ORC and OS Giken can get it so wrong. I know ORC probably make custom clutches for all the Top Secret cars hence giving the general public the impression that their clutches are all that. I have thought long and hard and really contemplated getting a Jim Berry but I don't think I can.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
