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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
