to cut a long story short,
not sure how many people here have heard of NPC clutches (aussie made) but I have a brand new twin plate to suit 1jz/r154. I havent heard a bad thing about them and two of my mates who run them (1jz and rb26) rave about it. Drive like factory and rated to over 1000 hp. the beauty about them is they run nice thick clutch and intermediate plates. intermediate plates approx 8mm without measuring them. therefore they do not warp and cause clutch drag.
I have since taken a different direction with my car havign just bought a gforce gf4a (some people may call me crazy but keen to give one a crack). My car is goign to be drift/circuit orientated weighing in at under 1100 kilos, yes u read correct... and hopefully make around 500 rwhp. (stock internals - plenty of bolt ons and cams)
now the issue is, if i want to use the npc clutch which retails for $2500 + $600 for the push pull converter, i will have to get the splines on the hubs swapped over to 26 spline - which in all honestly is not a big deal.
however im half tempted to sell it on and run a tilton 2jz 7.25" flywheel (p/n 51-5021)
and either a quater master or tilton 7.25" triple plate (non carbon given im not baller) which will not only work out cheaper, will result in a setup weighing roughly 9-10 kg in comparrison to the npc at 17.7kg with significantly lower MOI. The NPC clutch is 8" with significant weight distribution towards outside of flywheel.
guessign the npc is more orientated to drags at that weight. for comp. sake, an os giken triple weighs 15.1 kilos
for those that know a thing or two about clutches, which option would you advise me to go?
would a 8-9 kilo saving be a good thing for my application?
anyone used/read reviews on the quater masters - how thick are the intermediate plates / how often you have to rebuild them
lets here what people have to say..
ps. if i go the tilton option - any one got a good hook up through titan/tilton to get the flywheel at a good rate. (summit retails them at 600)
Cheers
Chris
