1st i'm looking for ORC P659D metal twin clutch, then after listen to few senior suggestion, I go back to P559D bcoz of driveability. At least P559D not completely button type like P659D.wah...what orc did u get?
Stock car? Depends on how far you intend to go but I'd say invest in a twin plate. It will be suitable for both mild upgrades (400hp range) and a moderate upgrades (500-600hp). Don't bother with a triple plate especially if you've got a Getrag and want it to last. A lot of people use twin plates up to 700hp although they don't last as long obviously so if you intend on going down this route look at clutches where replacement parts are easily available for a price you can live with.Ok let me bring this tread alive.
So I have taken out my tranny to replace the bearing at first the firt place but I found that the clutch is almost at it's time. Been using stock clutch (I own a stock caf if ur wonder) but maybe I should get some twin plate or triple plate for power rise in the future.
So far HKS GD Pro is everyones choices bt I would like to know others as well like ogura, nismo and OS giken... In terms of.. Anything included price would be better lol..
Also if anyone is letting their clutch thats left maybe 70-90% please let ms know :)
There's someone selling an ORC triple plate clutch here for RM2500. I've seen the plates with my eyes and they look almost new!Im just intended to built something around 600-650hp in the near future. I think i need something balance as i drive the car on the street and maybe some track day as well.
Im just looking at its condition and realise that its time for the clutch to go. Also no point to take the tranny out for the second time (its not easy anyway) so i have decided to go for a clutch change. My fund is limited however thats why i was thinking maybe i should get a used clutch :(
We're talking 650hp at the wheels? Assuming 20% drivetrain loss you're building an approximately 800hp engine in the near future. I've managed to get away with twin plate but mine was 70hp less and clutch lasts about 1.5 to 2 years. But I don't do track days and I don't think there are any twin plates which could cope with 800hp on the track.Im just intended to built something around 600-650hp in the near future.

Yeah I was just going to comment on this. Even 600hp at the engine is tough going and where everything really needs to be up to scratch. Otherwise it's not long before engine failure occurs.[PIMPIN];4524508 said:We're talking 650hp at the wheels?

I don't mean to pry but if your car is stock and your funds as you say limited, how much do you reckon you'd need to spend to get the power level you're after? Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just curious.
Btw, if you do go for 650atw then the engine won't be stock so during rebuild can always swap in an upgraded clutch.
Bro, stock car. Even if you do forged 2.6 engine is how much? What about other mods? Cooling, fueling, stopping, turning, handling, ECU, etc? Not cheap and not worth taking shortcuts. At least 50k from stock standard minimum. If you want crate engines than nothing under 100k on mods alone.Yeah I was just going to comment on this.

It also involves quite a lot of money to be spent...easily above RM20k I reckon, if you start from a stock rb26.
I know this will be controversial, but the rb26 is not a 2jz larrriiiiiiiiii
triple plate for that price sounds like a good deal! but wont it be overkill my stock engine?There's someone selling an ORC triple plate clutch here for RM2500. I've seen the plates with my eyes and they look almost new!
Try looking over at the market place section.
I've just sold my Nismo twin plate clutch for cheap plates are quite worn but some experienced dudes who drove my car (without my permission! But I'm not too worried ) say that it's a very nice clutch to drive - better than HKS or OS.
I reckon 50k minimum if you buy brandnew parts for an absolutely stock rb26.[PIMPIN];4524525 said:Bro, stock car. Even if you do forged 2.6 engine is how much? What about other mods?

Hehe i know im a weirdo. Im going to put in a V-pro and tune the engine to its maximum output (with everything stock!!) but since i have extend to build the car in 5 years, so i hope to get a clutch that can cope that long period (kinda impossible...... but hopefully as long as possible)
I think 600hp on flywheel is good enough i guess? limited fund for the clutch is because i have to save some money for the engine :)

LOL nice try slipping in your sales ad.I reckon 50k minimum if you buy brandnew parts for an absolutely stock rb26.
You can do it a lot cheaper if:
1. There's already a lot of tuning parts in the car when you bought it.
2. Buy used but still in good working condition parts.
3. Sensible mods eg. Garrett instead of HKS, stock IC instead of big, stock radiator, induction piping etc....
Remember I've got for sale a basically complete rb26 with forged HKS pistons for a lot cheaper than 10k, a complete induction and turbo kit and downpipe for a lot cheaper than 10k, and also 700cc injectors. The complete lot for much less than 20k hehehehehe sorry for the promo
BTW, my turbos has been checked by turbo specialist and are fine to use
With everything stock you won't ever get near 600hp laa
The engine just doesn't flow enough air - you will need bigger turbos.
Plus you need more fuel - stock injectors are only 444cc.
