hi all,

just wanted to know what the exedy organic heavy duty clutch is rated at? i cannot seem to find it anywhere. i have asked a few people and some think its 230kw and some think its closer to 250kw.
does anyone know?

LIVER DISORDERS FORUMS

i wouldnt push much more over 200rwkw, i think that's what my mate told me who works for exedy. theyre just a orgainic friction plate with a heavier clamped presure plate..

if that is the case im screwed

is there anyone else out that that can confirm this. cause i really dont want to go buying another clutch.

yeah around 200-210rwkw it is with a 950kg pressure plate.

It'll do more, but you will be pushing it.

My old stock 32gtst clutch was just slipping at peak torque when i had around 200rwkw, so i reckon yours should handle a bit more.

Forget about clutch kicks.

not to concerned about clutch kicks, as long as it doesnt slip when under load or anything like that ill be happy for a while until i can afford something a little more suited.

my std S15 clutch was holding 190kw for ages. it finally gave up and i wanted a clutch that wouldnt smash my gear box.

Ass tight

just rang up exedy and they said it will hold 209kw at the rear wheels.

what clutch should i get to hold the 230-240kw?

209kw? sounds like they pulled that outa theyre ass lol, 230-24okw of what type of driving? does it matter if its harsh? close to std presure pedal?

The Nismo Super Coppermix should handle that power with no problems at all....

how much for one of those? Nismo... sounds expensive

Powerplay imports sell them for ~$1400, but i'm sure you could get them cheaper from some of the ns.com sponsors (prolly around $1100ish?)..

dont forget tho that it is a clutch and flywheel combo, so its a complete package type of thing

wow, what about the $450 exedy sports tuff button clutch that will handle 250kw+, just be slightly heavier feeling pedal...and u could even do some clutch kicking

shit $450 is cheap, i already got the solid flywheel so i dont really need a package just a clutch.

go with around a 1000kg pressure plate and either a 9 or 6 puck.

I'd recommend the xtreme 9 puck xhd as it has served me well and drives almost like stock, with almost stock pedal weight. But these days the exedy prices are too good. $300 less for an almost identical product.
