Can't really go wrong with the ACT S/S...

os giken, exedy, orc are good brands to start with... be prepared to spend well over 2000 dollars though

i'm pretty sure exedy is the easiest to get in the USA

exedy doesnt necessarily require a pull to push adapter either

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT found this on e bay... multi plate clutches are rebuildable so... if you get that and after inspection think that you cant use it, you can get new discs and plates amd make it almost like new again

Why would you need a triple plate? Are you going 20B?

Since this was brought up and I am also in the market for a new clutch. I was wondering what the difference is between a double and triple plate clutch setup? Personally I'm looking at getting an Exedy since the ones I've found are more reasonably priced then OS Giken...but man would a Giken be nice.

twin plate has 2 clutch discs 4 friction surfaces, and triple plate has 3 discs with 6 friction surfaces



usually the more plates you have the more you can afford to lose on the diameter of the clutch... smaller clutch= less weight=more power to the wheels. more plates=more grip= lots of loot

Thanks for that explanation Fikse. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

yep and also the more power you got than the more of a heavy duty clutch you need to handle all that power and prevent clutch slippage

An ACT 4-puck or even 6-puck would be fine if you're looking for something to support 450rwhp.

^I would second this if he wasn't going over 350 hp. It's what I have and I love it. But it really is just an upgraded version of stock and I doubt it would hold that kind of HP very long.

I'm planning on getting an Excedy twin plate...those that have experince with these, can you tell me how streetable these are?



I know this may be overkill but I don't want to have to worry about a clutch slipping and I'm not going to be driving the car everyday anyway.
