Anyone with a coppermix competition twin plate holding 500kw?

As per title, got a new efr8374 on an rb26 and my current normal coppermix twin Is worn out and no longer doing its job. Will a competition version hold 500awkw?

 

That's really the most it's going to see with this turbo and its such a friendly twin plate I'm inclined to stay using one.

Intune and Nismo3.2ish both killed C spec coppermixes with the 8374. However, one is a 3.0 and the other is a 3.2. Pete's (the 3.2) nearly lasted a month.

It's more the torque that kills clutches. You may be right behind a 2.6L.

Damn, I hope the Coppermix Twinplate Competition that I just installed in my 8374 equiped R34 will hold then! It's just a 86.5mm/standard stoke Neo though, and RWD, so here's hoping...

Great You can be the guinea pig then! But being rwd you should be fine. They kind of act like a drive line fuse, you don't have that luxury with AWD.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

If 3.2ish managed to get one to hold on his car for a while before killing it, a 2.6 with 15-20% less torque should probably last.

Youre right. The question should  I have been who's making  900+ NM peak torque  a on a coppermix but most people only know their power figure. The plan is to keep the midrange torque In check to keep the gearbox and shafts alive anyway, and I have learnt the hard way that a super strong overkill clutch (RPS carbon) just breaks other stuff in a Evo.

Will have a look at the r3c, but the fact the centre isnt sprung is worrying drivability wise.

 

Cheers.

I think the 2.6/2.8 guys should be ok. I ran a coppermix for 10 years (35,000 kms), power ranging from 370 rwkw to 470rwkw/800 nm of twist. 

I pulled it out only after munching an OS gear set. The plates were just over half worn. It never slipped, never misbehaved and never refreshed or rebuilt. This was with OVER 350 big RPM launches under its belt.

To replace it went an OS88 and an R3C. The driveability is on par to the coppermix. It's definitely NOT a lightswitch it's just the pickup point is lower compared to the high pickup of the coppermix. Apparently there was a design change with the OS R series of clutches at some point, not exactly sure when it was though. Some time before October 2014.

 

Having said that, GTR_JOEY ran 430 rwkw on a 2.6L using the NON C spec coppermix for years and never had an issue. Only 30 ish wkw difference between the above mentioned 3.0 and 3.2, torque difference is a lot more.

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
