My new clutch came in the mail Thursday. I'm pretty sure it won't slip.

Nice clutch. I wanted a multiplate setup for my STi, but I just couldn't justify the cost of the triple plate setups.

Yea, I can definitely understand that. I hope this clutch will hold up to drag strip runs and race gas tuning.. and save me labor of replacing worn or damaged clutches.

Corey

How much torque are you expecting? I hear the rebuilds can be costly and can come often. That's also something that made me shy away. Fuck rebuilding a $4k clutch.

Guys with similar turbo setup are seeing close to 500wtq on 93 octane. I'll have to wait and see how often it needs rebuilt. I believe they said this clutch is good for 950 ft-lb.

Corey

I'm hoping to put close to 500wtq on 93 as well. When I was shopping clutches, I didn't see a multiplate setup from Clutch Masters for the STi. I just checked their page again and still don't see one. I don't like that their page doesn't list torque ratings. How should one know what they need/want?

Yea, their website isn't the best. They don't even list the clutch I have yet, that I know of. The shop I bought it from loaned them a S4 engine/tranny recently for them to template and make one. You might want to check on STi forums. I'm sure someone already installled one if clutchmasters makes it, or knows how much various clutches can handle, etc.

Here's exedy clutch for STi, up to 2007.

Yeah, the Exedys are known for not holding their claimed torque level and for wearing very early. They make the factory clutch for the STi and it holds very well. I was planning on trying that twin disk, but read many negative reviews.
