2JZ-GE clutch - what can it take?
|

I'm wondering how well the 2JZ-GE clutch will go coping with 350+bhp.
I'm guessing since it's in a car that only has 220, not too well... but if I had it kevlar coated, would that help, or would it still be slipping?
I ask because I dont want a brutal clutch sending shivers through my stock diff, but at the same time I dont want it slipping when I floor it. Dreaming I know, but I'd like a nice compromise. any ideas?

Talk to Daikin down here in Melb, they will help you. I suspect you'll need a fairly heavy duty pressure plate, but a sprung centre to take some brutality.

Yep, just speak to any clutch specialist, they'll be able to build whatever you require. That's what I'll be doing later this week.

Hey dude......the flywheel clutch combo bounced back (20.1 kg or something....post office let it thru but got nailed on the way over) so I have express posted your flywheel and bolts - you have waited long enough! They will be on your door step tomorrow. The shitty clutch and pressure plate (for reference)are coming by snail mail so you'll get those early next week.
I really do apologise....this has been an ordeal.

What a bummer! Oh well if it arrives tomorrow I'll be a happy man, I have the day off so I can buy a clutch. Let me know how much for postage and I'll shoot that down to you.

Ouch! I'll put them in a safe place.
I dropped the flywheel off at a clutch place today, so I should have my new clutch some time next week. The guy recommended a brass-button clutch, but I told him I wanted a streetable setup and I wasn't going to race the car, so he's making a conventional full-face organic clutch with 50% higher clamp. We'll see how it holds up!

did he offer you a price?
I'm starting to worry about budget, 'cause a few cosmetics have come up that will need to be fixed soonish, and I'd like money left over for a nice big front sway bar and custom springs & shocks
