Best clutch for bigger power

[doeboy]

Hi all
I'm having my car rebuilt now and I'm looking at anything between 400/500bhp, what clutches are recommended nowadays, been out of the scene for too long and lost touch with stuff.
I don't want a clutch the is like a switch to use, I still want to use my car as a road car, but appreciate it'll be a bit more work than a stock one.

Thanks in advance

I had an rps Street max clutch that was awful, had an overdevelopment left calf muscle after that lol

Then had an ACT clutch that was lovely to use but slipped when going for 550 with my gt3582r,


THEN had an OS GIKEN clutch r2cd ( or was it r2d2 lol) but that was so easy use and to drive, and handled the 550 no problem. No slipping and very stock feel and no left leg pain

I have a Helix 6 puk plus the uprated clutch cover from Fensport

I had a Spec 6 puk before, so was used to the workout

These OS Giken better?

can't comment from personal experience but nobody ever says anything bad about OS giken, Ogura, Exedy

funnily enough I watched this

the other day, that OS Giken Street Master clutch looks like a really nice bit of kit

OS giken r2cd

Greenline motorsports sorted me out one earlier this year direct from Japan.
You are talking about a clutch and flywheel kit into the 4 digit range though but it is one of the best options available for our cars in terms of the huge power it can take and driveabilty.

I've not tried the others, but the OS drives beautifully- certainly not heavy on the foot and not overly grabby considering the abuse it takes

+1 and agree with others on the OS Giken clutch. Best clutch I ever had installed and still running in my old beast when I sold her to Shane34

Would a os giken work with my Toda flywheel?

All OS Giken clutches come supplied with their own flywheel so probably not no.

Super single is a solid performer up to around 400 ftlbs.

I'm aiming at OS Giken "STR2C" (Street version)

Is the R2CD versión so easy to drive?

Not very often everybody agrees on the same thing,

How times have changed , lol

[doeboy]

What would you expect to pay for a os giken

[kirk]

North of 500 depending on which one you go for. All Giken clutches are completely rebuildable so, to me, that offsets the initial cost.

[Gullzter]

It seems the OS giken is pretty much common practice in big builds, I have the R2CD on mines and it's great so another vote from me.

I had an ACT 6puck (good for 500lbft/500HPon a previous build but unfortunately never got to test it with big power, however felt almost stock feeling to drive with on the power I did have it which would of been 250ish HP

[QUOC2008]

Os giken seem to be the best overall...

I have a carbonetic clutch maybe abit OTT considering the power it can holdt its quite noisey and exspensive but I love it...

I use it for street use mainly... not too heavy but far better then most powerful clutches that feel like your having a 500kg gym session with your legs

If a damper clutch should engage gears smoothly, and non-damper clutches are recommended for drag applications... Why the OS Giken STR2C (Intended for street usage and track occasionally) is non damper?
