Lee_e Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hey guys.. need some help here. I really dont know alot about clutches and flywheels. I recently purchased a UK 6 speed box with the UK diff ready for my conversion.. but me and dude have both agreed to get a new clutch and flywheel as its never good to trust a 2nd hand clutch. Im looking to go single in a about a year or so.. so want a good enough clutch and flywheel to cope with around 550-650 bhp. What do we recommend.. ive been looking at pauls stuff on whifbitz and its all well and good .. but i dont know what im looking at haha Any help would be very much appreciated.

johnny g Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 RPS Max Series or the Southbend's will be ok? Check out member's garages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would go with a compition clutch and flywheel. I have had RPS street max and had a lot of problems with engaging gears as the bite point is so low. I changed to a compieition clutch 6 puck. It can be grabby at times when in traffic but apart from that it's a good system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have competition clutch and flywheel on my single - all good here - a little stiffer than stock and very little rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some aftermarket clutches such as competition only work with there own flywheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Had RPS street max in my old TT and lightweight flywheel. Worked well and never had a problem, RPS was rated at 600 lbs of torque, clutch was heavier. Wouldn't go near a paddle due to the grabby nature of them. Have a Carbonnetics twin plate in the my RX7 with GT4088 and it's taken all I've thrown at it, but the supra has more torque than an RX7. If you need more than the Street Max can offer do the right thing and go twin plate they cost more but car will remain very similar clutch fell.

Bailey. Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Jamie used a rps street max alongside a oem flywheel for a long while at around 600hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Centerforce dual friction is good for 600hp......not much more tho I would futureproof it if your going single just in case you want more power;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
