Clutches that hold over 400Hp/Tq - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

texasbound972 · 01-12-2016, 06:44 PM

I currently have the ACT SB7-XTG6 installed. What other clutches are out there that hold a lot of power but aren't twin discs? Has anyone seen or created a list? Thanks in advance.

My Clutchmasters FX400 has been great. I'm currently around 450HP/400TQ

I currently have the ACT XT installed at 500 WHP the clutch is a pain to use, and is starting to fall short and has been sense day one. i would recommend the Exedy twin disc

I wouldn't know, it still works fine.

I'm using an exedy twin disc.. it's also a pain to use if you're DDing the car..

You should also think about upgrading the transmission gears

OS Giken doesn't like to publish their torque specs but are used in many high hp/tq applications.

Did you bump back up in power after that initial bump down and reliability session at Church's?

Fairly new to aftermarket clutches, why is it a pain to drive a twin disc as a DD? Having to slipped a lot more to get going?

The engagement is pretty sensitive.. the window from when the clutch is pressed in, to the engagement point is literally maybe 2" of lift.. and it's stiff as hell

I was running the ACT street at 320whp. and it began to slip. I since swapped in a 4 puck, Link below:

And it has been fine ever since. It does make some funny noises and engagement is "harsh" as most people would complain about. But most people that drive our cars are sissy's and complain about everything.

I'm running a OS Giken Twin Plate, its rated at 700TQ from what they told me. Its a pretty stiff for DD but once you get used to it, it's not to bad. Super small window of engagement, feels great shifting.

The numbers differ from the Mustang dyno and the dynopak. I'm at 405ftlbs so the clutch I already had still works. I'm just glad I'm on a way better and more reliable tune with church.

I've heard of guys destroying their transmissions with twin discs. But yeah I'm a little over 405ftlbs so that's kinda over kill.
