Simo2007 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I’m after decent clutch recommendations! Spec 2+ currently and new oem flywheel, upgraded to 3/4” land cruiser master clutch cylinder but I’ve still got the slightest clutch drag (shifting into first and reverse after driving for a bit can become quite frustrating) so I’ve had enough and just want to swap out the Spec 2+. Not fussed about cost, I want a quality clutch kit but not overkill (performance figs below). Shifter bushes changed also to rule them out and have bled the stock clutch hydraulics several times along with the new land cruiser master so now I think it’s the clutch geometry that’s the issue. Running a V160, 6266 single turbo and 460bhp/460ft lbs to the wheels. Will be installing 264 cams and a few more mods in the future but won’t be going above 600bhp/600ft lbs to the wheels. I’m based in Herts and usually do my own work but I can’t do the clutch on my own on the garage floor so after recommendations on who would you take it to as well! @Chris Wilson if you end up reading this I know we were in talks a few months back about doing this but wasn’t sure if you could source the clutch kit (OS Giken and movement conversion).

Chris Wilson Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 My TT kit would be unhappy with that much torque, but a twin plate Giken would be fine, will rattle, will wear fast in street usage (traffic), and needs a Giken movement reversal kit. But all spares available and a top quality kit. There may be a big organic sprung plate kit available somewhere with no issues, but I haven't found one. The Yanks pass that much and more torque through organic clutches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to source the OS Giken twin plate? If not would you be happy to fit if I managed to source it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'll run the build past Giken on Monday and get a price and availability. Yes, I can fit it, thanks Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Money no object, a lot of people give high praise to the RPS twin or triple carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ask LuxLuc, he just recommended a clutch setup that drives like 'oem' to someone. And we know his HP demands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just now, Annabella Ask LuxLuc, he just recommended a clutch setup that drives like 'oem' to someone. And we know his HP demands With 600 rwhp / 600 ftlbs, a single plate clutch won't survive.I would consider the RPS twin cluch.My RPS triple C is great.10 years ago, I ran a RPS Max clutch : pedal felt like stock. I had 626bhp /580 ftlbs ; however, 600 rwhp is too much for that clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo2007 Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I will see if Chris can source the OS Giken twin plate but if not I'll have a look down the RPS twin plate route!

Simo2007 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 @Chris Wilsonsorry to be a pest but did you manage to get a quote for the OS Giken twin plate and movement reversal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
