i am thinking about getting a "twin-disc" clutch system ...

i am running a built LS/turbo setup,
hopefully going to be putting down 300 to 400whp or something like that//

anybody have experience with the twin-disc systems?
i want a clutch i won't have to change every year, & somewhat smooth/reliable for street driving 2-3times a week...

 

I've never done research on 4 cylinder applications, but I've known a few people who have used twin disc setups in high power f-body setups and they were known to be far from smooth for street driving.

But don't let that sway your decision. I'm just saying you might want to get a couple opinions before making a decision if you're really interested in true streetability.

Good luck!

 

I had a twin disk setup in my Turbo II and yea it grabs like crazy but I do not recommend it for daily driving.

 

Twin disks are pretty unforgiving. You can drive around on the street with one, but you'll get tired of it after your first week.

 

I personally love the twin disc and would have anything else in a high HP car, now at the level youre at, 300-400HP, I think you would be fine with a 6 puck.

 

You might want to consider a single sintered iron clutch.

 

Call Millennium and have them order you a Comp. Clutch Strip 1420. Its a 4 puck that will hold 400 whp quite nicely. I've used this clutch in several motors.

 

I run a twin disc Competition Clutch on the street and works great, the Exedy Twin Disc is plug and play though. Either will do you fine, if you want one just hit me up and I will give you a great deal on any Competiton Clutch or Exedy clutch

 

twins are a bit rough for street use. they're in or out and anything in between they chatter. same with a 4 puck. i ran a 8 puck double sided kevlar on my 400hp turbo bug with good results. it went ALOT of abuse and was still grabbing 4th gear chirps 6 months later. you have to pay attention to the pressure plate too, not just the disc. you'd be amazed at what a stock disc can do with a heavy presure plate.

 

Twin disc is really mnore streetable than a six puck or four puck HEAVY DUTY pressure plate clutch. A twin disc has a soft pedal feel but of course 2 puck discs, it is nogt that bad at all. I guess it isn't that bad for me sicne I was used to driving with a 6 puck heavy heavy duty pressure plate since almost 10 years back sooooo...........
