JamieP Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What do you need to know? You won't have any thrust bearing issues due to the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have run an ACT XTreme +50% pressure plate for many years with no thrust bearing issues. Don't have your foot on the clutch when you start the car. If you do then the thrust bearings will wear out quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR RGT Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for replies, I want to know if said clutches can take the power and if they can - are people just being pussies with the general feel,living day-to-day,noise etc Because if I install one, I honestly don't mind a hard pedal, noise etc and it would be the cheapest clutch I've ever bought - apart from the run-around shit box of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have the highest spec competition clutch, I believe it's stage 5. The clutch pedal is indeed hard, but you get used to it. Feels perfectly normal to me now. Car is running around 850hp and over 700 ft lbs torque so yes it can handle quite a lot of power. In terms of noise, nothing to comment about sounds normal. Only annoying thing is reversing, the whole car judders a lot. That said, not sure if it's just a supra thing as a friends supra does the same.

On a separate note, are you still running a stock engine dude? All been good at that power level? Can I ask what boost you're running? Thanks.

Broke two stock crank pulleys and an LSD so far. Fortunately, the engine itself has been fine so far with no issues. It's running 2.1 bar, but setup to run progressively. runs 1.5bar at peak torque and ramps up to 2.1 bar for the last 300-400 revs. It's worth mentioning that I don't run it on the highest boost reguarly to help prolong the engine.

s-u-p-r-a Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi I've been getting a big spec built and had 2 x twin plate comp clutches fail just on the dyno 1 at 800bhp and one at 1025bhp with 900ftlb so I've now gone to a clutch masters 3plate which seems to be a much better choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
