Then your in the same boat (pardon the pun) that i am...... Got a clutch rated to 330kw or something that is now welded to my flywheel as i tried to go over the recommended rating by 30kw lol.....1500kms of that and i now have no clutch at all...... For a $1100 clutch it wasnt worth the 5000kms i got out of it, if i was not such a tight ass i could have sold it and upgraded but i thought along the same lines you are...... I now know with ALL mods to do the right the first time, it cost more down the line doing it twice!!

Hmmm i might do a little more look up on this clutch then, but i did look around quite alot at the power it could handle.

If i have a detune to ~250kw so be it, then ill leave it at that until i can afford another clutch.

The Sports Organic Kit you have listed is completely different to a standard HD Exedy unit. The Exedy units are a well built unit compared to some of the other shit going around, also a clutches lifespan really depends on the driver and how you treat it, however since you are modifying beyond some basic mods in the future a multi plate or ceramic compound might be more viable, again other problems arise like destroying gearboxes.

Hope that helps.

I have two clutches for sale - one for an R34 GTR - Exedy twin plate, very driveable, only done 10,000 km and 8,000 of that was going across the Nullabor and back so not using it much!

The other is an ATI carbon twin plate for an R32/R33 GTR. I will have to check whether it is push or pull, I can never remember. This one is near new, barely used.

Not sure if either of those will fit your car and gearbox. Probably not. But both are very driveable and not grabby at all. Not like my current NPC twin plate. Now that thing grabs! Makes hill starts an interesting activity!

Let me know if any use for you and I will work out a price.

Cheers,.

'Even' button clutches? Button clutches are not hard to drive with haha. Not compared to a twin plate. Try getting a rwd car moving in bumper to bumper traffic with a twin plate for a few days, see how you feel about it then haha. Even better is taking off after getting pulled over by cops...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
