marksuxass Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Time to buy a new clutch for my build as i need to get it balanced with my crank. Aiming for mid to low 500's at the wheels. Opting for the OS TS2CD, item was originally in the vehicle and felt like OEM item (only had 350hp though). Can only find 1 site with its rating and it says up to 600hp. Have also been recommended the excedy hyper multi (twin plate), or the excedy hyper compe-d. Im after a clutch feel that wont make my car a bastard of a thing to drive. The OS giken clutch that was originally in the vehicle felt like the OEM item and is why im opting for it this time too. Your opinions pleas?

Beer Baron Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yeah they are good. Being a "c" means it has the larger diameter plates so its power rating will be higher than the b type os twins. Os make great clutches. I've personally owned probably 5 or 6 in various cars all twins or triples and whilst they can be noisy and sometimes a bit grabby they are super reliable and in my experience their power ratings are fairly conservative. So if you'll have 500hp(or did you mean kw?) at the wheels then a 600ps rated os giken should be fine. Personally though if it were my car with a genuine 500hp atw and it was going to be track driven I'd consider a triple as with more surface area they deal with the power and heat really well and hardly wear at all if driven properly. But if you already have the twin and it's in good shape just use that.

marksuxass Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Cheers for that Mr Baron. Ended up ordering a TS2CD the other night off RHD for a pretty cheap price. Had to order another one as this one was KECK. Needed to get balanced with the crank so i kinda needed ASAP. Car will probly not see many (if any) track days. Was really happy with the way it performed before my engine detonated, just wasnt too sure if it could handle my new aimed power figures.

Beer Baron Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 i'm sure you'll be happy mate. they're a good thing. should have just bought the rebuild kit though providing flywheel and cover were ok? comes with new plates, new sandwhich plate and new top plate/pressure plate and bolts. you just retain the original diaphragm, carrier and flywheel. cost around $1000-$1500 depending on model.
