You might need to up you clutch setup to a twin plate.. I said that you have gone through 2 exedy already..but the single setups are good to around 400 whp..which just by looking at your setup you are easly surpassing that..The Exedy twin plate is very easy to drive on...
**EDIT** That is one sweet project...you lucky bastard |

IM A KIWI THE CONVERSION WAS RALITIVELY EASY ONCE I HAD FOUND ALL THE PARTS I NEEDED BUT I FOUND THE MOTOR RAN A LITTLE LEAN ON THE STANDARD COMPUTER HENCE THE MICROTECH AND AS THE DASH IS COMPLETLY RUN OFF THE ECU IT ALL NEEDED TO BE RE-WIRED SO ALL UP EASY BUT COSTLY |

If you close to the 400 whp range the single plates will not last very long..The cars that I have driven with the exedy twin plates are not rotary powered but they were all high hp awd evo's and subies...the evo that has one I had NO problems what so ever driving it after 9 months in Afghanistan and not driving a single manual car in that time.. was very smooth ingagement. I will be upgrading to one for my RX project when my act goes..Also on that note my car had a custom 2400 lb pressure plate and preformance clutch..I had an easier time driving the evo with the exedy twin than I did with my clutch set up. hope that helps |
