Hey guys, so basically I have a excedy heavy duty full face organic clutch, was in the donor car that I used when building my cefiro. Looked new at the time I put motor and box in, has handled a few drift days with no change to bite or pedal feel.

Rb20 was probably making at 150rwkw, on a good day.

Now I've done some power mods ( hypergear op6 highflow, and supporting mods) guessing result will be 200 to 240 rwkw.

Will this clutch at least handle the tune? Or should I upgrade before?

Anyone know the power rating of this clutch? Have searched but couldn't find much.

Cheers

Clutches don't have power ratings. They have suggested torque ratings. One rating is static, other is dynamic. ie. static friction vs dynamic friction.

In saying that a decent quality organic clutch is probably your best choice. It should handle ~550Nm static (depends on material and pressure plate). So 250rwkw is a rough upper limit. A borderline application also depends HEAVILY on driving style and rear end grip (tyres/suspension).

Depends on:

Organic material type/quality

Pressure plate clamp

Other factors:

Backing plate thickness/cushioning plate/torsion spring strength

This guy knows what's up.

I have the Exedy Sports Organic HD (full face, silver pressure plate made in Japan, not pink centre from China)

I wore it pretty badly in 3 track days with a stock SR20DET. Friends of mine have used this clutch with 220kw+ and had no troubles for 12 - 18 months worth of track days.

A lot depends on driving style too, and as above, suspension, tyres, diff etc.

I've got the R32 GTR sports organic SO SO7172 (?) on my RB25. 230rwkw. Been using it for 130,000km with various power levels and a couple of track days.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
