2000lbs 5 puck Ceramic Clutch

[Emancipator]

Quick question;

It seems alot of people are using 24-2500lbs clutches, will a 2000lb 5 puck ceramic put up with an RB30ET making ~250rwHP?

I want the lightest clutch i can get that wont slip, the STOCK clutch is only just starting to let go.. and i think thats ~1500 lbs.

i had the stock pressure plate on my 5 puck and it was good for about a 5 weeks until it sliped then it got bad real quick. as you may know if you slip a puck they burn up real quick. I had 270rwhp.

good thing is pucks are real cheap to rebuild $8 a button. I installed a 2500 which i thought would be real heavy but it's not at all. ive got 318rwhp now and it hasnt sliped even when i abuse it of the line.

I wouldnt worry about a 2500 being to heavy, because people that i have spoken to say its hard to notic the difference to stock when used with a fullface organic or 9 puck.

By "stock" you mean the one that comes with the normal nissan full face organic clutch kit?

OR

the one that came with the 5 puck driven plate? (or did you only buy a driven plate?

Beacuse i intend using an upgraded pressure plate (2000lbs) with the 5 puck driven plate.

What would you need if you DO do too many burnouts and 1/4 miles and say have 250rwkw?

Would an organic do?

[2rismo]

[RBVS]

sorry thought you were deciding on pressure plate weight to go with your 5 puck.

thats exactly what i had with a 5 puck 25000lb pressureplate. 1st outing to wsid

= dead clutch.250rwkw i consider to be big power so you really need a big clutch if its gonna cope.step up to a twin plate and you wont look back

ORC super singles and the Exedy Hyper singles are rated around 400hp.

Might want to look into them.

Full kit with cover and lightweight flywheel too.

I've used the sintered iron buttons because they don't eat fly wheels and pressure plates like the sintered bronze ones do . Mine have been three button sprung center plates from Penrith Brake and Clutch . Just on this topic I'd like to know where this term "puck" comes from ?
