[Mk2] [Generic] Clutch for 400-500bhp

[Ryan S]

I have googled and searched and read loads but ideally I need real world info, what is everyone using in theirs? I don't want an on off switch as the car will be used daily but at the same time I will be doing the odd trip to the track/strip so need something that can take the abuse.

Cheers, Ryan

I went for a Os twin plate as it keeps a stock feel unlike a triple plate which is no fun in traffic

is that Gilken yeah? I do like the sound of stock feel

Be different and put in a standard clutch?..

Perfect with a stock turbo

My stock clutch lasted well in the car, started to slip a bit last time i was at the drag strip though.

Maybe take a look at ACT clutches...?

I did look at ACT ones, anyone on here able to tell me what they're like? Seem like they are priced well compared to some of the OS Gilken stuff too

Is this another, what's best question? that you already know the answer to?

Let me know if your interested in os giken, id get in for a GB on imports/duties.
Is a quality setup for the mr2 imo.

Do it once, do it right. Twinplate.

I would be interested depending on price, i may just not be looking in the right places but i can only see them priced at around £1500?

what other twinplate options is there?

[Al-sw20]

Tilton.

Tilton.

had a quick nosey at twin plate stuff, loads of companies do them
anyone had any experience with particular brands? Is the OS one the only twin plate that can be compared to stock etc?

ACT 6puk rated for 500hp will destroy your left leg in traffic also a grabby thing that requires higher revs means its not a particularly nice thing to use unless you're on the right road with little traffic.

Low cost clutch options for high power applications don't really work out well for everyday use. I'd go twin plate.

thanks for the input mate, going by what you've said it does sound like I'm going to have to shell out for a twin plate, I do a lot of miles in the mr2 so having a dead left leg constantly really doesn't appeal to me at all

this was the issue I was having while searching, none of them really specify how much power the clutches can take
