Hi all,

I need a new HD clutch soon and have noticed that the Exedy ones are about $150-200 more then the RPM equivalent.

Is it worth it to spend the extra on the Exedy or is there really no difference?

I basically just need a clutch that can handle up to 230rwkw so hoping that either HD will be ok.

Thanks.

DO NOT get the Exedy Heavy Duty Range, the pink pressure plates, they're rubbish.. make sure it's the silver cover which is made in Japan.. not a remanufactured OEM item that is sprayed pink.

I bought my car with an RPM clutch and it was slipping hard (due to uneven wear) so I removed the clutch kit and replaced it (my only experience).

I've got an excedy heavy duty, I don't know which model but when I did the engine swap and moved the clutch over it was about 75% worn (hard to tell) and the pressure plate is pink. I just tuned up to 240rwkw and it doesn't just bite any more theres a split second of slip. 3rd gear won't stall the motor any more, if I let it out in 3rd on boost it will just slip.

Is my clutch on the way out? I'm going for 300rwkw at the end of this year, not sure whether to do it first. Lots of people say over 300 is fine with this clutch but i'm not convinced

Blackkers, chuck it into 4th gear and boost up a hill. You will either notice it slip or it won't slip and that's how I would determine.

My pink excedy lasted a few power runs on the dyno before giving up on the way home on the highway. This was 250rwkw

I am currently running a KB clutch from KB clutches in Sydney. Great service and amazing price, just call him and send him a dyno sheet or some specs of the car and he will do the rest

Okay mate I'll definitely give it a go. I know the clutch has a bit of meat on it i'm just not sure how it will handle the power i'm chasing. Thanks for your input

KB seems to be the place for clutches too

Got the RPM in the end, haven't fitted it yet but it looks pretty decent.

Honestly couldn't justify spending almost double on an exedy.

Good luck mate, hope they have revised their clutches. They had a bad run for a while, and I was one to suffer from it.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
